# Loop Client Release Notes

Release notes are listed in chronological order and include every published
GitHub release. Previous and next links connect adjacent files in this index.
Contributor lists are derived from non-merge commit authors and co-authors
between consecutive official release tags.

Add user-facing changes to [release-notes-next.md](release-notes-next.md).
When preparing a release, use
[release-notes-template.md](release-notes-template.md) to turn those notes into
a versioned file, then reset the next-release sections.
