+## 2.8.2
+
+Ginkgo now includes a `tools.go` file in the root directory of the `ginkgo` package.  This should allow modules that simply `go get github.com/onsi/ginkgo/v2` to also pull in the CLI dependencies.  This obviates the need for consumers of Ginkgo to have their own `tools.go` file and makes it simpler to ensure that the version of the `ginkgo` CLI being used matches the version of the library.  You can simply run `go run github.com/onsi/ginkgo/v2/ginkgo` to run the version of the cli associated with your package go.mod.
