+# 0.27.0/1
+
+* Extensions are now namespaced. `ash::extensions::khr::Swapchain`
+* Removed vendor tags from extension methods
+* Added missing functions for VkEvent
+* The examples were updated to use the new builder pattern
+* A SPIR-V parsing function `ash::util::read_spv`
+* Added `get_pipeline_cache_data`
+
+# 0.26.0
+
+* Fix loader on MacOS.
+
+* Expose function pointers for easier interop with external libraries.
+
+* Builder now uses bool instead of Bool32.
 # 0.25.0

 * Adds support for Vulkan 1.1

+### Strongly typed handles
+
+Each Vulkan handle type is exposed as a newtyped struct for improved type safety. Null handles can be constructed with
+`T::null()`, and handles may be freely converted to and from `u64` with `Handle::from_raw` and `Handle::as_raw` for
+interop with non-Ash Vulkan code.
+
 ### Default implementation for all types
 ```Rust
 // No need to manually set the structure type

 ```
-*Note*: No validation is done, the lifetimes only have to live as long as the builder object. It is the responsibility of the user to make sure that the pointers are valid.
+
+Builders implement `Deref` targeting their corresponding Vulkan struct, so references to builders can be passed directly
+to Vulkan functions. This is encouraged as doing so allows Rust to check the lifetimes of captured objects are valid,
+whereas calling `build` discards lifetime information, making inadvertent use-after-free errors more likely.

-Vulkan objects inside Ash can be constructed from raw values with `Object::from:raw`. Useful if you need to interact with a C library.

 ### Function pointer loading
 Ash also takes care of loading the function pointers. Function pointers are split into 3 categories.

 ### Extension loading
 Additionally, every Vulkan extension has to be loaded explicitly. You can find all extensions under [ash::extensions](https://github.com/MaikKlein/ash/tree/master/ash/src/extensions).
