+# Version 0.12.0 (unreleased)
+
+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.
+
+# Version 0.11.1
+
+Fixes:
+- The enumeration types in `tags` are now all marked with a representation of
+  their underlying TIFF type (e.g. `repr(u16)`) and variants are explicitly
+  assigned their corresponding values. That is you may _read_ the raw
+  discriminant and interpret that as the value—except for `Unknown` variants.
+- The variants `RationalBig` and `SRationalBig` of `decoder::ifd::Value` are
+  deprecated as they have no corresponding TIFF type and were not constructed
+  during decoding.
+
+Additions:
+- Types in `tags` now generally implement `TiffValue` and can be handed to the
+  `DirectoryEncoder::write_tag` method. Unlike primitive types they do _not_
+  always implement the trait for slices of themselves.
+- Added `tags::ValueBuffer`, a byte-based buffer for tags with a runtime value
+  type and count.
+- Added `IfdDecoder::find_tag_{buf,bytes}` to read tag values into a
+  `ValueBuffer` or byte slice respectively without interpreting them
+  immediately within the Rust type system.
+- Added `DirectoryEncoder::write_{data,tag}_buf` that takes a `ValueBuffer`
+  instead of a statically typed argument.
+- Added `DirectoryEncoder::write_entry{,_buf,_bytes}` that encode their
+  argument into the file and return an `Entry` for later use, without
+  immediately adding a tag-entry pair to the directory.
+- The `TiffValue` trait is now implemented for several builtin `tags::*` types
+  or slices of them as appropriate for their use as values of their intended
+  TIFF tag.
+- The `TiffValue` trait is now implemented for `[T; N]` for all types that
+  implement it for slices.
+
 # Version 0.11.0
 
 - `Directory` now implements `FromIterator<(Tag, Value)>`.
