 This file summarises the changes between released versions of Subplot and its
 associated libraries.
 
+# Version 0.2.1, released 2021-07-11
+
+This is the first release meant for use by people other than Subplot's
+own developers.
+
+* The locations of the `dot` and `plantuml` programs and for the Java
+  byte code interpreter can now be configured when Subplot is invoked,
+  which is useful when they're not installed in the locations where
+  Debian puts them. Those programs are used by Subplot to render
+  diagrams.
+
+* The `./check` script now outputs the last one hundred lines or so of
+  the log file produced by the generated test program, if that program
+  fails. This makes it easier to debug failures under CI.
+
+* Additionally, there have been some minor tweaks only visible to
+  those developing Subplot itself.
