 This file is used to list changes made in each version of the build-essential cookbook.
 
+## 8.2.1 (2018-09-04)
+
+- Add a note that this cookbook is no longer maintained as the build_essential resource was moved directly into the chef-client making this cookbook no longer necessary.
+
+## 8.2.0 (2018-08-28)
+
+- Simplify the if installed logic for macos
+- Remove support for FreeBSD < 10 which is VERY much EOL
+- Avoid ChefSpec deprecation warnings
+- Avoid deprecation warnings in Chef 14.3+ by not loading resources already in Chef
+
 ## 8.1.1 (2018-03-17)
 
 - Make sure we install the last available xcode command line tool package so we get the latest version

 Installs packages required for compiling C software from source. Use this cookbook if you wish to compile C programs, or install RubyGems with native extensions. Contains a resource, 'build_essential', as as well as a default recipe that simply calls that same resource.
 
+Note: The functionality of this cookbook is now built into Chef 14+ in the [build_essential resource](https://docs.chef.io/resource_build_essential.html). This cookbook is no longer being maintained and all future changes will be done directly in the chef-client. We highly recommend you update your chef-client to the latest release and if possible migrate to using the build_essential resources instead of the recipe in this cookbook.
