+# Changelog
+
+## Unreleased
+
+### Breaking changes
+
+- Changed `get_unix_timestamp` and `set_unix_timestamp` to use u32 rather than u64, to match the
+  size of the device registers.
+- Made `Rtc::new` unsafe, as it must be passed a valid pointer.
+- Made `set_unix_timestamp` take `&mut self` rather than `&self` because it writes to device memory.
+
+### Other changes
+
+- Implemented `Send` and `Sync` for `Rtc`.
+
+## 0.1.0
+
+Initial release.
