 # [unreleased]
 
+# [v0.12.0] 2024-09-10
+
+- Bumped MSRV to 1.70.0
+
+## Added
+
+- Added new `cfdp::tlv::TlvOwned` type which erases the lifetime and is clonable.
+- Dedicated `cfdp::tlv::TlvLvDataTooLarge` error struct for APIs where this is the only possible
+  API error.
+- Added File Data PDU API which expects the expected file data size and then exposes the unwritten
+  file data field as a mutable slice. This allows to read data from the virtual file system
+  API to the file data buffer without an intermediate buffer.
+- Generic `EofPdu::new` constructor.
+- Added generic sequence counter module.
+- Added `MsgToUserTlv::to_tlv` converter which reduced the type and converts
+  it to a generic `Tlv`.
+- Implemented `From<MsgToUserTlv> for Tlv` converter trait.
+- Added CFDP maximum file segment length calculator method `calculate_max_file_seg_len_for_max_packet_len_and_pdu_header`
+
+## Added and Changed
+
+- Added new `ReadableTlv` to avoid some boilerplate code and have a common abstraction implemented
+  for both `Tlv` and `TlvOwned` to read the raw TLV data field and its length.
+- Replaced `cfdp::tlv::TlvLvError` by `cfdp::tlv::TlvLvDataTooLarge` where applicable.
+
+## Fixed
+
+- Fixed an error in the EOF writer which wrote the fault location to the wrong buffer position.
+- cfdp `ConditionCode::CheckLimitReached` previous had the wrong numerical value of `0b1001` (9)
+  and now has the correct value of `0b1010` (10).
+
+## Changed
+
+- Minor documentation build updates.
+- Increased delegate version range to v0.13
+
+# [v0.11.2] 2024-05-19
+
+- Bumped MSRV to 1.68.2
+
+## Fixed
+
+- Removed `defmt::Format` impl for `MetadataPduCreator` which seems to be problematic.
+
+# [v0.11.1] 2024-04-22
+
+## Fixed
+
+- The default data length for for `SpHeader` constructors where the data field length is not
+  specified is now 0.
+- The `SpHeader::new_from_fields` is public now.
+
+## Added
+
+- `SpHeader::to_vec` method.
+
+# [v0.11.0] 2024-04-16
+
+## Changed
+
+- Moved `CCSDS_HEADER_LEN` constant to the crate root.
+
+## Added
+
+- Added `SpacePacketHeader` type alias for `SpHeader` type.
+
+# [v0.11.0-rc.2] 2024-04-04
+
+## Changed
+
+- Renamed `PacketId` and `PacketSequenceCtrl` `new` method to `new_checked` and former
+  `new_const` method to `new`.
+- Renamed `tc`, `tm`, `tc_unseg` and `tm_unseg` variants for `PacketId` and `SpHeader`
+  to `new_for_tc_checked`, `new_for_tm_checked`, `new_for_unseg_tc_checked` and
+  `new_for_unseg_tm_checked`.
+- `PusTmCreator` and `PusTcCreator` now expect a regular instance of `SpHeader` instead of
+  a mutable reference.
+
+## Added
+
+- `SpHeader::new_from_apid` and `SpHeader::new_from_apid_checked` constructor.
+- `#[inline]` attribute for a lot of small functions.
+
+# [v0.11.0-rc.1] 2024-04-03
+
+Major API changes for the time API. If you are using the time API, it is strongly recommended
+to check all the API changes in the **Changed** chapter.
+
+## Fixed
+
+- CUC timestamp was fixed to include leap second corrections because it is based on the TAI
+  time reference. The default CUC time object do not implement `CcsdsTimeProvider` anymore
+  because the trait methods require cached leap second information. This task is now performed
+  by the `cuc::CucTimeWithLeapSecs` which implements the trait.
+
+## Added
+
+- `From<$EcssEnum$TY> from $TY` for the ECSS enum type definitions.
+- Added basic support conversions to the `time` library. Introduce new `chrono` and `timelib`
+  feature gate.
+- Added `CcsdsTimeProvider::timelib_date_time`.
+- Optional support for `defmt` by adding optional `defmt::Format` derives for common types.
+
+## Changed
+
+- `PusTcCreator::new_simple` now expects a valid slice for the source data instead of an optional
+  slice. For telecommands without application data, `&[]` can be passed.
+- `PusTmSecondaryHeader` constructors now expects a valid slice for the time stamp instead of an
+  optional slice.
+- Renamed `CcsdsTimeProvider::date_time` to `CcsdsTimeProvider::chrono_date_time`
+- Renamed `CcsdsTimeCodes` to `CcsdsTimeCode`
+- Renamed `cds::TimeProvider` to `cds::CdsTime`
+- Renamed `cuc::TimeProviderCcsdsEpoch` to `cuc::CucTime`
+- `UnixTimestamp` renamed to `UnixTime`
+- `UnixTime` seconds are now private and can be retrieved using the `secs` member method.
+- `UnixTime::new` renamed to `UnixTime::new_checked`.
+- `UnixTime::secs` renamed to `UnixTime::as_secs`.
+- `UnixTime` now has a nanosecond subsecond precision. The `new` constructor now expects
+   nanoseconds as the second argument.
+- Added new `UnixTime::new_subsec_millis` and `UnixTime::new_subsec_millis_checked` API
+  to still allow creating a timestamp with only millisecond subsecond resolution.
+- `CcsdsTimeProvider` now has a new `subsec_nanos` method in addition to a default
+  implementation for the `subsec_millis` method.
+- `CcsdsTimeProvider::date_time` renamed to `CcsdsTimeProvider::chrono_date_time`.
+- Added `UnixTime::MIN`, `UnixTime::MAX` and `UnixTime::EPOCH`.
+- Added `UnixTime::timelib_date_time`.
+- Error handling for ECSS and time module is more granular now, with a new
+  `DateBeforeCcsdsEpochError` error and a `DateBeforeCcsdsEpoch` enum variant for both
+  `CdsError` and `CucError`.
+- `PusTmCreator` now has two lifetimes: One for the raw source data buffer and one for the
+  raw timestamp.
+- Time API `from_now*` API renamed to `now*`.
+
+## Removed
+
+- Legacy `PusTm` and `PusTc` objects.
+
+# [v0.11.0-rc.0] 2024-03-04
+
+## Added
+
+- `From<$TY>` for the `EcssEnum$TY` ECSS enum type definitions.
+- `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>`.
+
+# [v0.10.0] 2024-02-17
+
+## Added
+
+- Added `value` and `to_vec` methods for the `UnsignedEnum` trait. The value is returned as
+  as `u64`. Renamed former `value` method on `GenericUnsignedByteField` to `value_typed`.
+- Added `value_const` const function for `UnsignedByteField` type.
+- Added `value_typed` const functions for `GenericUnsignedByteField` and `GenericEcssEnumWrapper`.
+
+# [v0.9.0] 2024-02-07
+
+## Added
+
+- `CcsdsPacket`, `PusPacket` and `GenericPusTmSecondaryHeader` implementation for
+  `PusTmZeroCopyWriter`.
+- Additional length checks for `PusTmZeroCopyWriter`.
+
+## Changed
+
+- `PusTmZeroCopyWriter`: Added additional timestamp length argument for `new` constructor.
+
+## Fixed
+
+- Typo: `PUC_TM_MIN_HEADER_LEN` -> `PUS_TM_MIN_HEADER_LEN`
+
+# [v0.8.1] 2024-02-05
+
+## Fixed
+
+- Added `pub` visibility for `PacketSequenceCtrl::const_new`.
+
+# [v0.8.0] 2024-02-05
+
+## Added
+
+- Added `len_written` and `to_vec` methods to the `TimeWriter` trait.
+
+# [v0.7.0] 2024-02-01
+
+# [v0.7.0-beta.4] 2024-01-23
+
+## Fixed
+
+- `MetadataPduCreator`: The serialization function shifted the closure requested information
+  to the wrong position (first reserved bit) inside the raw content field.
+
+# [v0.7.0-beta.3] 2023-12-06
+
+## Added
+
+- Add `WritablePduPacket` trait which is a common trait of all CFDP PDU implementations.
+- Add `CfdpPdu` trait which exposes fields and attributes common to all CFDP PDUs.
+- Add `GenericTlv` and `WritableTlv` trait as abstractions for the various TLV types.
+
+## Fixed
+
+- Set the direction field inside the PDU header field correctly explicitely for all CFDP PDU
+  packets.
+
+## Changed
+
+- Split up `FinishedPdu`into `FinishedPduCreator` and `FinishedPduReader` to expose specialized
+  APIs.
+- Split up `MetadataPdu`into `MetadataPduCreator` and `MetadataPduReader` to expose specialized
+  APIs.
+- Cleaned up CUC time implementation. Added `width` and `counter` getter methods.
+- Renamed `SerializablePusPacket` to `WritablePusPacket`.
+- Renamed `UnsignedPfc` to `PfcUnsigned` and `RealPfc` to `PfcReal`.
+- Renamed `WritablePduPacket.written_len` and `SerializablePusPacket.len_packed` to `len_written`.
+- Introduce custom implementation of `PartialEq` for `CommonPduConfig` which only compares the
+  values for the source entity ID, destination entity ID and transaction sequence number field to
+  allow those fields to have different widths.
+- Removed the `PusError::RawDataTooShort` variant which is already covered by
+  `PusError::ByteConversionError` variant.
+- Ranamed `TlvLvError::ByteConversionError` to `TlvLvError::ByteConversion`.
+- Renamed `PusError::IncorrectCrc` to `PusError::ChecksumFailure`.
+- Some more struct variant changes for error enumerations.
+
+## Removed
+
+- `PusError::NoRawData` variant.
+- `cfdp::LenInBytes` which was not used.
+
+# [v0.7.0-beta.2] 2023-09-26
+
+## Added
+
+- `PacketId` trait impls: `Ord`, `PartialOrd` and `Hash`
+- `SerializablePusPacket` trait: Add `to_vec` method with default implementation.
+

+# Coverage
+
+Coverage was generated using [`grcov`](https://github.com/mozilla/grcov). If you have not done so
+already, install the `llvm-tools-preview`:
+
+```sh
+rustup component add llvm-tools-preview
+cargo install grcov --locked

+After that, you can simply run `coverage.py` to test the project with coverage. You can optionally
+supply the `--open` flag to open the coverage report in your webbrowser.
+
+# Miri
+
+You can run the [`miri`](https://github.com/rust-lang/miri) tool on this library to check for
+undefined behaviour (UB). This library does not use use any `unsafe` code blocks, but `miri` could

 5. Run `cargo fmt` and `cargo clippy`. Check `cargo msrv` against MSRV in `Cargo.toml`.
 6. Wait for CI/CD results for EGit and Github. These also check cross-compilation for bare-metal
    targets.
