 # Scotty Changelog
 
+## 0.7.0 - WIP
+- listenbrainz-archive: new backend to load listens and loves from a
+  ListenBrainz export. The data can be read from the downloaded ZIP archive
+  or a directory where the contents of the archive have been extracted to.
+- listenbrainz: faster loading of missing loves metadata using the ListenBrainz
+  API instead of MusicBrainz. Fallback to slower MusicBrainz query, if
+  ListenBrainz does not provide the data.
+- spotify-history: it is now possible to specify the path directly to the
+  `my_spotify_data_extended.zip` ZIP file as downloaded from Spotify.
+- spotify-history: the parameter to the export archive path has been renamed to
+  `archive-path`. For backward compatibility the old `dir-path` parameter is
+  still read.
+- deezer: fixed endless export loop if the user's listen history was empty.
+- dump: it is now possible to specify a file to write the text output to.
+- Fixed potential issues with MusicBrainz rate limiting.

 ## 0.6.0 - 2025-05-23

 See the comments in [config.example.toml](./config.example.toml) for a description of each backend's available configuration options.
 
+**NOTE:** Some services, e.g. the Spotify and Deezer API, do not provide access
+to the user's full listening history. Hence the API integrations are not suited
+to do a full history export. They can however be well used for continuously
+transfer recent listens to other services when running scotty frequently, e.g.
+as a cron job.
