+### Minimum Supported Rust Version
+
+This release bumps the minimum compiler version to `1.31.0`. This was mainly needed for `cfg-if`,
+but between `1.16.0` and `1.31.0` there are a lot of language and library improvements we now
+take advantage of.
+
+### New
+
+* Unstable support for capturing key-value pairs in a record using the `log!` macros
+
+### Improved
+
+* Better documentation for max level filters.
+* Internal updates to line up with bumped MSRV
