+
+## [Unreleased]
+
+### Added
+- `zon` now has a changelog.
+- Added `zon.traits` module for common functionality that is specific to no validator.
+- Added the `zon.traits.collection` file which contains the `ZonCollection` class: this is the base class for all collection types.
+- Added testing for `ZonCollection` and added more tests for `ZonString`.
+- Scripts that automate the building and publishing of the package to PyPI.
+
+### Changed
+- `ZonString` now inherits from `ZonCollection` instead of `Zon`.
+- `ZonList` now inherits from `ZonCollection` instead of `Zon`.
+- Updated `README.md` to include more information and examples of code usage.
+  
+### Removed
+- Removed the `len` function from `ZonString` and `ZonList` as it was not being used and did too much.
+
+## [1.0.0] - 2023-11-26
+
+### Added
+- Added base source code files for the project.
+- Base `README.md` file.
