+# Changelog
+
+## [0.0.1] - 2024-03-02
+
+🎉 Initial release.
+
+For this first release, we only have the initial `my-log drop` command implemented, which adds the ability to add new entries to a log.
+
+We also have `my-log config` to create the initial config file.
+
+Parsing the log files will be added to a future release, but the generated logs are compatible with [droplogger](https://github.com/goodevilgenius/droplogger), which can still be used.
+
+### Added
+
+- `my-log drop`: adds a new log entry
+- `my-log config`: copies the default config to the default file location
