-# Unreleased
+# 0.26.0 (2021-12-01)
 
 - Update `raw-window-handle` to `v0.4`. This is _not_ a breaking change, we still implement `HasRawWindowHandle` from `v0.3`, see [rust-windowing/raw-window-handle#74](https://github.com/rust-windowing/raw-window-handle/pull/74).
 - On X11, bump `mio` to 0.8.
