 Changelog
 =========
 
-0.62.0 (2026-04-29)
+0.62.1 (2026-04-30)
 -------------------
 ------------------------
+- Document that nothing is saved by default. [Changaco]
+- Eliminate trailing spaces. [Changaco]
+- Remove pointless and unsafe `export`s in examples. [Changaco]
+- Try to clarify what `--incremental` actually does. [Changaco]
+- Fix a typo in the README. [Changaco]
+- Document that `--all` doesn't imply `--attachments` [Changaco]
+- Rename a function to match what it actually does. [Changaco]
+- Don't leave files open. [Changaco]
+- Remove legacy code in `mkdir_p` function. [Changaco]
+- Don't pass stdin when doing so can't do any good. [Changaco]
+
+  When the child process doesn't inherit stderr, it can't ask the user for input, so it shouldn't inherit stdin either.
+- Use `subprocess.DEVNULL` instead of emulating it. [Changaco]
+- Remove bad invocation of the system shell. [Changaco]
+- Add missing `context` argument to `urlopen` call. [Changaco]
+- Suppress output of call to `git lfs version` [Changaco]
+- Handle more network errors. [Changaco]
