 # Change Log / Release Notes
 
-## _unreleased_
-
-### Breaking Changes
-
- * Use `cabal` for `--recompile` if there is a `.cabal` file in the config
-   directory and none of `build`, `stack.yaml`, `flake.nix`, nor `default.nix`
-   exist.
-
-### Enhancements
-
-### Bug Fixes
-
-### Other
-
-PR #404 (see last change in 0.17.1) has been reverted, because the affected
-compilers are (hopefully) no longer being used.
-
-All 9.0 releases of GHC, plus 9.2.1 and 9.2.2 have the join point bug.
-Note that 9.0.x is known to also have GC issues and is officially deprecated,
-and the only 9.2 release that should be used is 9.2.8. Additionally, GHC HQ
-doesn't support releases before 9.6.6.
