 ## [Unreleased]

+This release has an [MSRV][] of 1.88.
+
+### Changed
+
+- Breaking change: `Level::fallback` has been removed, replaced with `Level::baseline`. ([#105][] by [@DJMcNab][])
+  This corresponds with a change to avoid compiling in support for the fallback level on compilation targets which don't
+  require it; this is most impactful for binary size on WASM, Apple Silicon Macs or Android.
+  A consequence of this is that the available variants on `Level` are now dependent on the target features you are compiling with.
+  The fallback level can be restored with the `force_support_fallback` cargo feature. We don't expect this to be necessary outside
+  of tests.
+
+### Removed
+
+- Breaking change: The (deprecated) `simd_dispatch!` macro. ([#105][] by [@DJMcNab][])
