 # @buenos-nachos/time-sync
 
+## 0.5.0
+
+### Breaking Changes
+
+- c3986e9: revamped all state management and APIs to be based on monotonic time
+- c3986e9: Removed `registeredAt` and `intervalLastFulfilledAt` properties from `SubscriptionContext` and added monotonic `registeredAtMs`
+- c3986e9: Added monotonic `lastUpdatedAt` property to `Snapshot` type.
