+## [8.1.0] - 2025-02-02
+
+### Added
+
+- Add `Input::input_buffer_publisher()` method to provide an RAII-based
+  alternative to the low-level `input_buffer()`/`publish()` interface. Thanks
+  @crop2000 !
+
+### Changed
+
+- Rename `Input::input_buffer()` to `Input::input_buffer_mut()`, keeping a
+  deprecated alias for now, and do the same for `Output::output_buffer()`. This
+  is the start of a gradual deprecation process whose end goal is to eventually
+  follow the standard Rust accessor naming convention (`input_buffer(&self) ->
+  &T`, `input_buffer_mut(&mut self) -> &mut T`, same thing on the output side).

 ## [8.0.0] - 2024-06-21
 
 ### Added
 
 - Add `Output::peek_output_buffer()` method to get read-only access to the
-  output buffer from a shared reference to self. Thanks @tk70!
