+## [v0.20.0] - 2023-08-11
+
+Another breaking release where the major changes are:
+- `host filtering` has been moved to tower middleware instead of the server API.
+- the clients now supports default port number such `wss://my.server.com`
+- the background task for the async client has been refactored to multiplex send and read operations.
+
+Regarding host filtering prior to this release one had to do:
+
+```rust
+let acl = AllowHosts::Only(vec!["http://localhost:*".into(), "http://127.0.0.1:*".into()]);
+let server = ServerBuilder::default().set_host_filtering(acl).build("127.0.0.1:0").await.unwrap();
+```
+
+After this release then one have to do:
+
+```rust
+let middleware = tower::ServiceBuilder::new().layer(HostFilterLayer::new(["example.com"]).unwrap());
+let server = Server::builder().set_middleware(middleware).build("127.0.0.1:0".parse::<SocketAddr>()?).await?;
+```
+
+Thanks to the external contributors [@polachok](https://github.com/polachok), [@bobs4462](https://github.com/bobs4462) and [@aj3n](https://github.com/aj3n) that contributed to this release.
