+# Release process/changelog
+
+The project follows a slightly modified version of [semantic versioning](https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.html). The SDK is still evolving and certain backwards-incompatible changes may be released as minor versions.
+
+## Minor versions
+
+We will increase minor versions for **breaking changes** to any public interfaces. For example, going from `1.0.x` to `1.1.x` might include breaking changes.
+
+If you don't want breaking changes, we recommend pinning to `1.0.x` versions in your project.
+
+## Patch versions
+
+We will increment patch versions for non-breaking changes:
+
+- Bug fixes
+- New features
+- Changes to private interfaces
+
+## Breaking change changelog
+
+### 1.1.0
+
+- `CustomSummary`, `CustomTask`, and `EntitySource` types have been updated to restrict `icon` to `IconName`.
+- All `ThreadItemConverter` methods have been updated to be asynchronous.
