+### 0.6.3 / 2020-12-19
+
+* Broaden rake dependency to >= 12.0.0, < 14.0.0` for ruby 2.7, which includes
+  rake 13.x.
+
+### 0.6.2 / 2020-12-03
+
+* Lower the rake dependency to `~> 12.0` for ruby 2.6.
+* Fixed a bug in `ext/digest/Rakefile` which prevented digest-crc from being
+  installed on systems where C extensions could not be successfully compiled.
+  * Rake's `ruby` method, which in turn calls rake's `sh` method, raises
+    a `RuntimeError` exception when the ruby command fails, causing rake to
+    exit with an error code. Instead, rescue any `RuntimeError` exceptions and
+    fail gracefully.
+
+### 0.6.1 / 2020-07-02
+
+* Fix installation issues under bundler by adding rake as an explicit dependency
+  (@rogerluan).
+
+### 0.6.0 / 2020-07-01
+
+* Implement _optional_ C extensions for all CRC algorithms, resulting in an
+  average performance improvement of ~40x. Note, if for whatever reason the
+  C extensions cannot be compiled, they will be skipped and the pure-Ruby
+  CRC algorithms will be used instead. If the C extensions were successfully
+  compiled, then they will be loaded and override the pure-Ruby CRC methods with
+  the C equivalents.
+* Alias {Digest::CRC16QT} to {Digest::CRC16X25}, since they are effectively the same (@dearblue).
+* Fix {Digest::CRC32::WIDTH} (@dearblue).
