+# Version 0.21.0 Release
+
+This version comprises various fixes and improvements but no major changes,
+except that C++17 is now the minimum required C++ standard and the
+cppnetlib dependency has been replaced with Oat++.
+
+The next few releases will contain breaking changes, so this one acts as
+a small incremental step before these are released. In particular, this release
+also introduces the `version.hpp` header to the `fable` and `cloe-runtime`
+packages, which enables developers to more easily support multiple versions at
+the same time.
+
+For the entire changelog, see the [Git commit history](https://github.com/eclipse/cloe/compare/v0.20.0...v0.21.0).
+
+## Launcher
+
+Changed:
+- Use `VirtualRunEnv` Conan generator, which is the current recommended approach
+  and should be compatible with Conan 2.0.
+
+Improved:
+- Provide better error messages when cloe-engine is not found.
+
+  The Python stack trace is suppressed, since it's not useful, and instead a
+  message is printed telling you what could be wrong:
+
+      Error: cannot locate cloe-engine exectuable!
+     Note:
+       This problem usually stems from one of two common errors:
+       - The conanfile for cloe-launch does not require cloe-engine.
+       - The cloe-engine package or binary has not been built / is corrupted.
+       However, unconvential or unsupported package configuration may also trigger this.
+
+Fixed:
+- Fix prompt in Zsh when in a cloe-launch shell.
+
+## Engine
+
+New:
+
+- Add the `loop` event that triggers every single cycle, including in the pause state.
+
+Improved:
+
+- Replace libcppnetlib with Oat++ as webserver backend.
+
+  This means that we are no longer limited in which Boost versions we support.
+  (Previously, with the `server` feature enable, the Boost version had to be
+  between 1.65 and 1.69.)
+
+## Web UI
+
+Fixed:
+
+- Fix failure uploading json.gz to the UI
+- Fix certain actions not applying when trying to trigger the HMI
+
+## Fable Library
+
+Fixed:
+
+- Instantiate missing `Number<signed char>`.
+
+  It is no longer necessary to include `fable/schema/number_impl.hpp` when using this
+  numerical type.
+
+- Fix `FromConfable` schemas occassionaly causing a segfault.
+
+  Error can be categorized as a use-after-free.
+
+## Plugins
+
+Fixed:
+
+- Fix segfault when gndtruth-extractor plugin had an error opening the output file.
+
+- Fix use of uninitialized `mount_pose` variable.
+
+## Development
+
+New:
+
+- Add `version.hpp` header to `fable` library.
+
+  This can be used to make compile-time decisions for greater compatibility with
+  various versions of the library.
+
+- Add `version.hpp` header to `cloe-runtime` library.
+
+  This can be used to make compile-time decisions for greater compatibility with
+  various versions of the library.
+
+- Add Clang Tidy configuration file
+
+Improved:
+
+- Speed up builds by changing default build type from `RelWithDebInfo` to `Debug`.
+
+- Bundle licenses of dependencies with `cloe-engine` Conan package.
+
+Changed:
+
+- Change `configure` target in `Makefile.package` to link `compile_commands.json` automatically
+
+- Remove `conan-select` target from `Makefile.all`
+
+- Remove `conan` target from `Makefile.package`
+
+- Require C++17 for compiling the project.
+
+  The oldest supported version of Ubuntu has a new enough compiler to support this
+  change, so we don't expect anyone to have any problems with this.
+
+- Update dependencies to latest stable versions.
+
+  They are now also pinned to specific versions, since this results in a much more
+  stable experience with Conan. This is also how it is done in the Conan-Center-Index.
+
+- Remove all ifndef-define-endif header guards. Use `#pragma once` instead.
+
+  Our dependencies already require support for `#pragma once`, which is effectively
+  universal anyway.
+
+- Remove Ubuntu 18.04 from automated builds. This means it is no longer officially
+  supported.
+
+- Improve Conan 2.0 support across the board for package recipes.
+
+Fixed:
+
+- Fix `setup-conan` target in `Makefile.setup` to install Conan version 1.x
+
+- Fix recipes to respect Conan `--build`, `--test`, `--configure`, and `--install` arguments
+
+- Test configurations depend on any compatible version of cloe-launch-profile
+
+- Don't fail test when *.so glob does not match anything
