+# v3.8.2
+
+## Enhancements
+
+- Messages, added an option, enabled by default, allowing to highlight the blocks enclosed by backticks. This works for the "find all" action, the compiler output, the custom tools output, etc. (#13)
+
+## Bugs fixed
+
+- Editor, Calltips: the position of the window was incorrect when the arguments stood on several lines. (#10)
+- Terminal, UI: the scrollbar lacked of accuracy. (#11)
+
+## Other
+
+- project CI: the release process is now fully automated, allowing painless and more frequent releases.
+
+# v3.8.1
+
+# v3.8.0
+
+## Enhancements
+
+- Compiler paths: added the "global" compiler. It allows to quickly set the compiler used whatever is the context.
+- Compiler paths: the editors for LDC and GDC are less confusing now, since only one path is needed to specify the std/core paths, unlike for DMD.
+- Editor, Calltips: in the call tips window, the parameter being edited is highlighted. Note that stacking of calltips in nested function calls is for now removed.
+- GDB commander, editor, linux: it is now possible to inspect the variables in a tooltip window displayed when moving the mouse in the code editor.
+- Messages: added support for GNU type messages. Note that the detection of the type (GNU or legacy DMD) is dynamic.
+- MRUs: added an option preventing to remove non existing items, which used to be problematic when using git branches.
+- Terminal, UI: added scrollbar.
+
+## Bugs fixed
+
+- Application, energy consumption: damped a small but constant CPU load, even on idle, caused by several timers.
+- DUB project editor: it was possible to add a property twice.
+- Editor: possible range violation when trying to rename an editor past the EOL.
+- GDB Commander: no scrollbar in the variable inspector.
+- Main menu: shortcuts for the tools not updated after editing the options.
+- Terminal: clearing a temporary line because of automatic check dir caused a reset, clearing the backbuffer.
+
+## Other
+
+- the documentation is updated to be rendered by Gitlab CI or locally, with pandoc.
+- windows binaries are not provided anymore.
