+## v8.3.0
+
+- Updated bundled `libfmt` to `11.1.4`.
+- Fixed BSD builds. ([#688](https://github.com/odygrd/quill/issues/688))
+- On Linux, setting a long backend thread name now truncates it instead of failing. ([#691](https://github.com/odygrd/quill/issues/691))
+- CMake improvements: switched to range syntax for minimum required version and bumped minimum required CMake version to `3.12`. ([#686](https://github.com/odygrd/quill/issues/686))
+
 ## v8.2.0
 
 - Added `DeferredFormatCodec` and `DirectFormatCodec` for easier logging of user-defined types and smoother migration
