 # Changes
 
+## unreleased
+
+- Remove unmaintained `chrono` dependency
+
+### Breaking Changes
+
+Due to security issues caused by the unmaintained `chrono` crate
+the `NaiveDateTime` was replaces by a `UnixTime` type:
+
+```diff
+- use chrono::NaiveDateTime;
+- use geocoding::opencage::Timestamp;
++ use geocoding::opencage::{Timestamp, UnixTime};
+
+  let created_http = "Mon, 16 May 2022 14:52:47 GMT".to_string();
+
+  let ts_in_seconds = 1_652_712_767_i64;
+- let created_unix = NaiveDateTime::from_timestamp(ts_in_seconds, 0);
++ let created_unix = UnixTime::from_seconds(ts_in_seconds);
+
+  let timestamp = Timestamp { created_http, created_unix };
+
++ assert_eq!(ts_in_seconds, created_unix.into_seconds());
+```
+
 ## 0.4.0
 
 - Switch GeoAdmin API to WGS84
