+## [0.8.1] - 2017-09-15
+### Added
+- Implement Send+Sync for Query, Message and Event, and their corresponding
+  Ref types.
+
+### Fixed
+- Constructor for gst_player::Player now works properly with GStreamer 1.12
+  when passing a video renderer or signal dispatcher. There was a reference
+  counting bug.
+- Instead of returning &'static references from functions, return references
+  with a generic, unbound lifetime instead.
+  See https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/42417#issue-233404573
+- Various "unused external crate" warnings and clippy warnings everywhere.
+
+### Changed
+- Remove Cargo.lock from GIT, it's not very useful for library crates.
+- Run everything through latest rustfmt-nightly.
+- Use while-let (instead of loop and if-let) and CLOCK_TIME_NONE (instead of
+  u64::MAX) in the examples.

 ## [0.8.0] - 2017-08-31
 
 - Initial release of the autogenerated GStreamer bindings. Older versions
   (< 0.8.0) of the bindings can be found [here](https://github.com/arturoc/gstreamer1.0-rs).
   The API of the two is incompatible.
