+0.2.0 (2020)
+~~~~~~~~~~~~
+The highlight of this release is the switch from sha1 to sha256 as
+the default hash algorithm. sha1 is still supported for backward
+compatibility. That is, libosl-0.2.0 can still open tables which
+were created with an older version of the library. No adjustments
+are necessary on the user side, so it should be safe to upgrade.
+
+Instead of gengetopt we now employ the option parser of the lopsub
+library for oslfsck(1). Hence lopsub becomes a dependency while
+gengetopt is no longer required to build the package.
+
+The release also features a couple of documentation improvements and
+a fair number of fixes for the build system.
+
+Moreover, we got rid of doxygen in favor of a simple m4 script
+(shipped) to generate the public header file and the html code for
+the API documentation. Hence m4 becomes a dependency while doxygen
+is no longer needed.
+
+Finally, the release drops support for SunOS and MacOS. The code has
+not been tested on these operating systems for a decade and was likely
+broken anyway.
