@@ -5,6 +5,71 @@ All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.

+### [0.57.0] - 2025-10-20
+#### ✨ Highlights
+
+There's a new way to include variants in to a pixi workspace! Use
+`build-variants-files` to reference external variant definitions from
+YAML files.
+
+```toml
+[workspace]
+build-variants-files = [
+    "./pinning/conda_build_config.yaml",
+    "./variants/overrides.yaml",
+]
+```
+
+Read more about this feature in the [docs](https://pixi.sh/dev/reference/pixi_manifest/#build-variants-files-optional).
+
+We deprecated the following syntax in the pixi manifest and give explicit warning when it's used:
+- `[project]`: should be replaced by `[workspace]`.
+- `[build-dependencies]` and `[host-dependencies]`: should be replaced by `[dependencies]`. 
+
+If you're working on pixi-build backend note that we deprecated build-api v0.
+
+And we also fixed a lot of things!
