+0.2.6 [2021.11.16]
+------------------
+* Drop support for pre-8.0 versions of GHC.
+
+0.2.5 [2021.02.17]
+------------------
+* Allow building with `lens-5.*`.
+* The build-type has been changed from `Custom` to `Simple`.
+  To achieve this, the `doctests` test suite has been removed in favor of using
+  [`cabal-docspec`](https://github.com/phadej/cabal-extras/tree/master/cabal-docspec)
+  to run the doctests.
+
+0.2.4 [2019.09.13]
+------------------
+* Remove the use of `cpp-options: -traditional`. This should be unnecessary
+  on all versions of GHC that `lens` supports, as modern GHCs already use
+  `-traditional` internally during preprocessing. More critically, the use
+  of `cpp-options: -traditional` breaks profiling builds on GHC 8.8
+  (see https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/issues/17185).
+
+0.2.3 [2018.01.18]
+------------------
+* Add an `Apply` context to the `Monoid` instance for `Effect`, allowing
+  `lens-action` to build against `lens-4.16`.
+
+0.2.2
+-----
+* Add a library dependency for the `doctests` test suite
+
+0.2.1
+-----
+* Revamp `Setup.hs` to use `cabal-doctest`. This makes it build
+  with `Cabal-2.0`, and makes the `doctest`s work with `cabal new-build` and
+  sandboxes.
+
+0.2.0.2
+---
+* Migrate to new `phantom` definition in `contravariant`
+
+0.2.0.1
+---
+* Add `Control.Lens.Action.Type` to exposed-modules list.
+
+0.2
+---
+* `profunctors-5` and `lens-4.10` support
+
 0.1.0.1
 ---
 * Add `Control.Lens.Action.Type` to exposed-modules list.
