 # ChangeLog for yaml
 
+## 0.11.1.2
+
+* Compiles with GHC 8.8.1 (`MonadFail` split)
+
 ## 0.11.1.1
 
 * Use the appropriate `Scientific` rendering function to avoid a memory overflow when rendering. The previously used function from `aeson` would not use scientific notation, and could use large amounts of memory for values such as `1e9999999999999`.
