@@ -11,6 +11,7 @@ and this project adheres to [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0
 - Removed `task_local_extensions` in favour of `http::Extensions`.
     - All extensions must be `Clone` now.
 - Replaced `with_arc` and `with_arc_init` methods with `with_box` and `with_box_init`.
+- Support for `matchit` `0.8.0` - This means router matches like `/a/:some_var`  need to be changed to `/a/{some_var}`
 
 ### Changed
 - `RequestBuilder::try_clone` now clones the extensions.
