 # [unreleased]
 
+# [v0.11.0] 2024-02-27
+
+## Added
+
+- Added `Sub` implementation for `UnixTimestamp` to calculate the duration between two timestamps.
+
+## Changed
+
+- `CcsdsTimeProvider` `subsecond_millis` function now returns `u16` instead of `Option<u16>`.
+- `UnixTimestamp` `subsecond_millis` function now returns `u16` instead of `Option<u16>`.
