+## 0.17.2
+
+- Made `CBuilder.run` `Logger` argument optional. It now defaults to a logger
+  printing to stdout and stderr. (Technically this is a breaking change on
+  passing `null` explicitly, but I doubt anyone is using it like that.)
+
 ## 0.17.1
 
 - Bump `package:hooks` and `package:code_assets`to 0.20.0.
