+## 0.3.2
+
+### Bug Fixes
+
+* Under certain circumstances a variable declaration that is not also a definition could be associated with a `Variable` that did not have the definition as a `VariableDeclarationEntry`. This is now fixed, and a unique `Variable` will exist that has both the declaration and the definition as a `VariableDeclarationEntry`.
+
+## 0.3.1
+
+### Minor Analysis Improvements
+
+* `AnalysedExpr::isNullCheck` and `AnalysedExpr::isValidCheck` have been updated to handle variable accesses on the left-hand side of the C++ logical "and", and variable declarations in conditions.
+
+## 0.3.0
+
+### Deprecated APIs
+
+* The `BarrierGuard` class has been deprecated. Such barriers and sanitizers can now instead be created using the new `BarrierGuard` parameterized module.
+
+### Bug Fixes
+
+* `UserType.getADeclarationEntry()` now yields all forward declarations when the user type is a `class`, `struct`, or `union`.
+
+## 0.2.3
+
+### New Features
+
+* An `isBraced` predicate was added to the `Initializer` class which holds when a C++ braced initializer was used in the initialization.
