+## 0.13.0 - 2023-05-15
+
+This minor release avoids a couple of panics in the case of invalid bytes being interpreted as BitVecs or strings.
+
+A small API change was made to accommodate this, such that the `Str::bytes_after` now returns a result rather than just the bytes.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- Avoid panic on invalid bitvec input bytes ([#53](https://github.com/paritytech/scale-decode/pull/53)
+- Avoid panic on invalid str input bytes ([#54](https://github.com/paritytech/scale-decode/pull/54))

 ## 0.12.0 - 2024-04-29
 
 Update the `scale-type-resolver` dependency to 0.2.0 (and bump `scale-bits` for the same reason).

 This release removes `bitvec` and the 32bit feature flag needed to play nicely with it and leans on `scale-bits` instead
 to decode bit sequences. We add a CI check to ensure that it can be compiled to WASM.
