+v1.8.1
+------
+
+This release primarily includes straightforward bugfixes, as well as
+new functionality to have more control over the HTTP User-Agent header.
+However, there is an API change from v1.8 that was required for
+improved compatibility.
+
+In v1.8, libgit2 introduced the `report_unchanged ` member in the
+`git_fetch_options` structure. We mistakenly introduced this as a
+bitfield, which is not suitable for our public API. To correct this
+mistake, we have _removed_ the `report_unchanged ` member. To support
+the report unchanged tips option, users can set the `update_fetchhead`
+member to include the `GIT_REMOTE_UPDATE_REPORT_UNCHANGED` value.
+
+The libgit2 projects regrets the API change, but this was required to
+support cross-platform compatibility.
