+- Fix invocation of test suite, previously silently not running
+- Add missing runtime dependencies
+- Update to v18.8.1
+  * add API to support cancellation; this means passing a 1-argument
+    callable to ``create_future`` and ``txaio.cancel`` to actually
+    cancel a future
+  * support Python 3.7 (CI / testing added)
+- from v18.7.1
+  * move to calver
+  * deprecate Python 3.3 support and CI testing
+- from v2.10.0
+  * the asyncio version of ``make_logger`` now deduces a proper
+    namespace instead of using the root
+
