+# CHANGELOG for `contextual_logger`
+
+Inspired by [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.0.0/).
+
+Note: this project adheres to [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.html).
+
+## [0.5.1] - 2019-03-10 [diff](https://github.com/Invoca/contextual_logger/compare/v0.5.0...0.5.1)
+
+### Changed
+
+- Refactored debug, info, error... etc methods to call the base class `add(severity, message, progrname)` method since
+  ActiveSupport::Logger.broadcast reimplements that to broadcast to multiple logger instances, such as
+  Rails::Server logging to `STDOUT` + `development.log`.
+  Note that the base class `add()` does not have a `context` hash like our `add()` does.
+  We use the `**` splat to match the `context` hash up to the extra
+  `**context` argument, if present. If that argument is not present (such as with `broadcast`), Ruby will instead
+  match the `**context` up to the `progname` argument.
+
+## [0.5] - 2019-03-06 [diff](https://github.com/Invoca/contextual_logger/compare/v0.4.0...v0.5.0)
+
+### Added
+ - Extracted normalize_log_level to a public class method so we can call it elsewhere where we allow log_level to be
+   configured to text values like 'debug'.
