+<!--
+Guiding Principles:
+
+Changelogs are for humans, not machines.
+There should be an entry for every single version.
+The same types of changes should be grouped.
+Versions and sections should be linkable.
+The latest version comes first.
+The release date of each version is displayed.
+Mention whether you follow Semantic Versioning.
+
+Usage:
+
+Change log entries are to be added to the Unreleased section under the
+appropriate stanza (see below). Each entry should ideally include a tag and
+the Github issue reference in the following format:
+
+* (<tag>) [#<issue-number>] Changelog message.
+
+Types of changes (Stanzas):
+
+"Features" for new features.
+"Improvements" for changes in existing functionality.
+"Deprecated" for soon-to-be removed features.
+"Bug Fixes" for any bug fixes.
+"API Breaking" for breaking exported APIs used by developers building on SDK.
+Ref: https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.0.0/
