+Tantivy 0.14.0
+=========================
+- Remove dependency to atomicwrites #833. Implemented by @pmasurel upon suggestion and research from @asafigan). 
+- Migrated tantivy error from the now deprecated `failure` crate to `thiserror` #760. (@hirevo)
+- Switched to structure logging (via the `slog` crate). (@pmasurel)
+
+Tantivy 0.13.1
+===================
+Made `Query` and `Collector` `Send + Sync`.
+Updated misc dependency versions.
+
+Tantivy 0.13.0
+======================
+Tantivy 0.13 introduce a change in the index format that will require
+you to reindex your index (BlockWAND information are added in the skiplist). 
+The index size increase is minor as this information is only added for
+full blocks.
+If you have a massive index for which reindexing is not an option, please contact me
+so that we can discuss possible solutions.
+
+- Bugfix in `FuzzyTermQuery` not matching terms by prefix when it should (@Peachball)
+- Relaxed constraints on the custom/tweak score functions. At the segment level, they can be mut, and they are not required to be Sync + Send.
+- `MMapDirectory::open` does not return a `Result` anymore.
+- Change in the DocSet and Scorer API. (@fulmicoton). 
+A freshly created DocSet point directly to their first doc. A sentinel value called TERMINATED marks the end of a DocSet.
+`.advance()` returns the new DocId. `Scorer::skip(target)` has been replaced by `Scorer::seek(target)` and returns the resulting DocId.
+As a result, iterating through DocSet now looks as follows
+```rust
+let mut doc = docset.doc();
+while doc != TERMINATED {
+   // ...
+   doc = docset.advance();
+}
+```
+The change made it possible to greatly simplify a lot of the docset's code.
+- Misc internal optimization and introduction of the `Scorer::for_each_pruning` function. (@fulmicoton)
+- Added an offset option to the Top(.*)Collectors. (@robyoung)
+- Added Block WAND. Performance on TOP-K on term-unions should be greatly increased. (@fulmicoton, and special thanks 
+to the PISA team for answering all my questions!)
+
+Tantivy 0.12.0
+======================
+- Removing static dispatch in tokenizers for simplicity. (#762)
+- Added backward iteration for `TermDictionary` stream. (@halvorboe)
+- Fixed a performance issue when searching for the posting lists of a missing term (@audunhalland)
+- Added a configurable maximum number of docs (10M by default) for a segment to be considered for merge (@hntd187, landed by @halvorboe #713) 
+- Important Bugfix #777, causing tantivy to retain memory mapping. (diagnosed by @poljar)
+- Added support for field boosting. (#547, @fulmicoton)
+
+## How to update?
+
+Crates relying on custom tokenizer, or registering tokenizer in the manager will require some 
+minor changes. Check https://github.com/tantivy-search/tantivy/blob/master/examples/custom_tokenizer.rs
+to check for some code sample.
+
 Tantivy 0.11.3
