+## 8.1.0
+
+### Deprecated APIs
+
+* `ControlFlow::ConditionGuardNode` is now deprecated. Use the API from `semmle.go.controlflow.Guards` instead.
+
+### New Features
+
+* The Go language library now instantiates the shared library `semmle.go.controlflow.Guards`, including the `Guard` and `GuardValue` classes and the `guardEnsures`, `guardEnsuresEq`, `guardEnsuresNeq`, and `guardEnsuresLeq` predicates.
+
+### Bug Fixes
+
+* The Go extractor no longer modifies the global Git configuration when private `git_source` registries are configured. The registry proxy certificate is now passed to Git through the `GIT_SSL_CAINFO` environment variable instead, which only affects the Git processes spawned by `go`.
+
 ## 8.0.1
 
 No user-facing changes.

+## 0.2.25
+
+### Minor Analysis Improvements
+
+* The early return taken by the `?` operator no longer makes the unwrapped value of `x?` flow out of the enclosing function. This fixes false positive results from queries such as `rust/cleartext-logging`, where a sensitive value read with `?` was reported as part of an unrelated return value.
+* Added neutral models to inhibit spurious generated sink models for `actix_web::HttpRequest::connection_info` and the methods built on it, such as `full_url` and `url_for`. This fixes some false positive results from queries such as `rust/uncontrolled-allocation-size` and `rust/log-injection`.
+* Added neutral models to inhibit spurious generated sink models for `Vec` and `VecDeque` methods such as `insert`, `remove` and `push_back`. This fixes some false positive results from queries such as `rust/cleartext-logging`.
