+API changes, new options, new ShadingSystem features (for renderer writers):
+* A new `shadingStateUniform` pointer field was added to ShaderGlobals for
+  planned future expansion and improved GPU support. #1585 (1.13.1.0)

+SIMD batched shading mode:
+* Fix some array overruns (asymptomatic, but still potentially buggy) in
+  common_ancestor_between. #1577 (1.13.0.2)

-Release 1.12.12.0 -- 1 May 2023 (compared to 1.12.11.0)
--------------------------------------------------------
-* New ShadingSystem getattribute query for shader groups: "attribute_types"
-  retrieves a pointer to the array of TypeDesc values describing the
-  attributes retrieved by existing "attributes_needed" and "attribute_scopes".
-  #1650
-* Fix a bug with binding userdata when it's used by more than one shader
-  within the group and they disagree about whether derivatives are needed when
-  retrieving the attribute. #1673
+OptiX rendering:
+* OptiX 6.0 support has been removed. For GPU rendering with OptiX, a minimum
+  of OptiX 7.0 is required.
+* Big overhaul/simplification of how strings are represented on the GPU: the
+  extra level of indirection to global variables is removed, and strings are
+  simply represented in ordinary variables as the hash of their characters.
+  #1531 (1.13.0.0) #1553 (1.13.0.1)
+* Better PTX cache hit rate by eliminating several sources of not being
+  strictly deterministic in the PTX text we were generating. #1566 #1570
+  (1.13.0.1)

-Release 1.12.11.0 -- 5 Apr 2023 (compared to 1.12.10.0)
--------------------------------------------------------
-* Build: Add Qt 6.x compatibility (Qt is only used for `osltoy`). #1655
-* Build: more careful about paths to look for LLVM. #1656
-* Build: Fix Cuda compilation flags for LLVM 15. #1659
-* Notice: OSL does not yet build properly against the newly release LLVM 16.
-  You must use LLVM 9-15. For Mac users who get their llvm from Homebrew,
-  please be aware that Homebrew has changed its default llvm to 16, so you'll
-  need to `brew install llvm@14` and make your OSL CMake define:
-  `-DLLVM_ROOT=/usr/local/opt/llvm@14`
+Performance improvements:

-Release 1.12.10.0 -- 1 Mar 2023 (compared to 1.12.9.0)
--------------------------------------------------------
-* feat(testrender): Modify testrender so that it correctly sets raytype to
-  "camera" for camera rays, "shadow" for shadow rays, and "diffuse" for all
-  secondary rays. Also rerun the shades for background shader group on the
-  camera rays rather than use the cached map. This helps the MaterialX project
-  use testrender for certain unit tests and verification. #1648 #1649
-* feat: Expose llvm groupdata size as a shadergroup attribute
-  "llvm_groupdata_size". #1642
-* fix: Crash could result from uncaught exception in OpenColorIO when calling
-  transformc with derivatives for color spaces that require OCIO. #1646
-* fix: certain uses of fmod() in shaders could fail to generate LLVM code
-  correctly, due to a missing implementation for the fmod(triple,float)
-  varieties. #1643
-* build: Change snprintf formatting to satisfy some compilers. #1640
-* CI: Fix broken Mac ci. #1647
+Bug fixes and other improvements (internals):
+* Fix memory leak in oslc ASTvariable_declaration. #1576 (1.13.0.2)
+* Fix memory leaks in LPE code in error conditions. #1593 #1594 (1.13.0.3)

-Release 1.12.9.0 -- 1 Feb 2023 (compared to 1.12.8.0)
-------------------------------------------------------
-* Remove unnecessary setting of locale::global. #1630
-* Batch shading: Fix bug with masked wide closure generation. #1637
-* Make sure ReParameter() has the same relaxed type checking rules as
-  Parameter(). Before, it was stricter about type conversion. #1639
-* Windows: Fix some GPU build errors. #1638
+Internals/developer concerns:
+* platform.h:
+    - New `OSL_ALLOCA` macro to allocate on the stack. #1589 (1.13.0.3)

-Release 1.12.8.0 -- 3 Jan 2023 (compared to 1.12.7.1)
-------------------------------------------------------
-* Remove dependency on OptiX SDK for building core OSL with OptiX support.
-  You can now build OSL with OptiX support enabled even if you don't have the
-  OptiX SDK headers present at build time. But you will still need them to
-  build your OptiX-based application that uses OSL for GPU rendering. #1627
-* Batch mode: fix issue with closure keyword parameters. #1620
-* Batch mode: fix crash when adding a default initialized closure. #1624
-* Batch mode: Fix support for closures with array types. #1630
-* testshade: better testing of all closure parameter types. #1621
-* Fix various CI breaks as dependencies shifted. #1629 #1631 #1633
+Build & test system improvements:
+* CMake build system and scripts:
+    - The version number is now a cache variable, and so can be overridden at
+      build time using `-DOSL_VERSION=...`. Use with extreme caution! #1579
+      (1.13.0.2)
+* Dependency version support:
+    - Fix some issues that came up with the new icx 2022.0 compiler. #1601
+      (1.13.1.0)
+* Testing and Continuous integration (CI) systems:
+    - Dynamic analysis using address and leak sanitizers. #1581 (1.13.0.3)
+    - `testshade --help` now prints TextureSystem options and all hardware
+      information. #1584 (1.13.0.3)
+    - Improvements to SonarCloud and coverage analysis. #1596 (1.13.0.3)
+* Platform support:

-Release 1.12.7.1 -- 1 Dec 2022 (compared to 1.12.7.0)
-------------------------------------------------------
-* Add clangSupport library as dependency to fix linker error on some
-  platforms. #1613
-* Test against OpenColorIO 2.2. #1616
-* Build: Fix how version overrides work to reduce the chance of user mistakes.
-  #1617
+Documentation:
+* `doc/RELEASING.md` documents our release process and versioning policies.
+  #1572 (1.13.0.2)

-Release 1.12.7.0 -- 1 Nov 2022 (compared to 1.12.6.2)
-------------------------------------------------------
-* Optix: Change naming of certain compiler-generated constants in a way that
-  improves use of the PTX cache. #1570
-* Batch: Fix uninitialized members in ReadEvent internals. #1575
-* `testshade --help` now prints TextureSystem options and hardware info. #1584
-* oslc: Fix memory leak in ASTvariable_declaration. #1576
-* Fix memory leaks in light path expression code. #1593 #1594
-* Include the immintrin.h header only when needed. #1605
-* icx: Improvements to fix problems exposed by new icx 2022.2 compiler. #1601
-* Testing: CMake cache variables to control the testing timeout length. #1571
-* CI: Add a dynamic analysis test using address and leak sanitizers. #1581
-* CI: Now using SonarCloud static analysis. #1551
-* CI: Many improvements in testing code coverage #1607
-* CI: Make sure to run pointcloud tests when partio is found. #1611
-* Developers: platform.h now defines OSL_ALLOCA macro. #1589
-* Developers: platform.h now defines OSL::bitcast utility. #1610
