Please add a changelog.

When upgrading apps, I like to review each dependency's changelog to look for potentially breaking changes. Thanks.

I came to also ask for something along these lines... Basically, I saw that the version number jumped a major revision from 1 to 2 and that tends to indicate a breaking change. However, there's no mention in the description on pypi (or anywhere really) that the breaking change has to do with the $2b$ prefix. I don't think people should have to go through the git commits, issues, or PR's to figure this out (like I had to do).

It was nearly a production issue for me that I had to discover the breaking change between v1 and v2 -- the README's statement of compatibility with py-bcrypt is now false. It was frustrating to have to hunt for why one stack was telling my "invalid salt" and the other was fine -- it was because the first stack was importing py-bcrypt via import bcrypt, which doesn't know how to handle 2b prefixes. Very frustrating to track down, for something that is a very common and crucial piece of most projects using this library.

Worth mentioning that having py-bcrypt installed at all was a folly on my part as it was depended on me neither directly or transitively, but stranger things have happened...
