+# Version 0.12.0 (unreleased)
+
+Fixes:
+- Decoding a tiled image whose width is not a multiple of the tile width no
+  longer corrupts the columns below the right border tiles when extra samples
+  are discarded (e.g. RGB with an unspecified extra sample). The horizontal
+  tile padding was written past the end of the output row, spilling into the
+  leftmost columns of the following row.
+
+Additions:
+- Added the `TiffHeader` type. It can be used to create a `Decoder` in a state
+  before the first IFD and allows opening files at an arbitrary first IFD
+  offset rather than one indicated by an encoded header at the start.
+
+Changes:
+- The IFD iteration methods on `Decoder` (`next_image`, `seek_to_image`, etc)
+  now come with a strong error guarantee. They will not modify the current
+  directory state if they fail. This includes the failure to interpret an IFD
+  as a supported image in the case of `*_image` variants.
+
+Compatibility:
+- Changed how tiled TIFF files are detected. The presence of a TileWidth OR
+  TileHeight/TileLength tag now marks an image as tiled. Data is no retrieved
+  from either StripOffsets or TileOffsets with the latter taking precedence.
+  This is closer to the behavior of libtiff.
+
+# Version 0.11.3
+
+Additions:
+- Added support for `webp` compression (as per GDAL) under the `webp` feature flag (default: off).
+- Added `Decoder::image_ifd`, creating an `IfdDecoder` of the current IFD.
+- Added `IfdDecoder::directory`, returning the `Directory` underlying it.
+- Added `LowerHex` and `UpwerHex` implementations for `IfdPointer`.
+
+Notes:
+- A new example `tiff-ls` demonstrates use of the new features.
+
+# Version 0.11.2
+
+Changes:
+- Planar files can now be read with `Decoder::read_image_to_buffer` if the
+  limits allow for such a large buffer size. Previously only the first plane
+  was read and the decoder will attempt a fallback to this behavior if the
+  limits do not allow all planes to be allocated.
+
+Fixes:
+- An off-by-one error in a `debug_assert` of `ValueBuffer` caused its use in
+  `IfdDecoder::find_tag_buf` to panic outside release mode when the buffer
+  exactly matched the required size.
+
+Additions:
+- The methods `ColorType::{num_samples, bit_depth}` are now public. This
+  promises that we only have homogeneous color depths in this major version.
