 * Now targeting the 0.8.x line of Solidity compilers. For 0.6.x (resp 0.7.x) support, use version 3.4.0 (resp 3.4.0-solc-0.7) of OpenZeppelin.
 * `Context`: making `_msgData` return `bytes calldata` instead of `bytes memory` ([#2492](https://github.com/OpenZeppelin/openzeppelin-contracts/pull/2492))
 * `ERC20`: Removed the `_setDecimals` function and the storage slot associated to decimals. ([#2502](https://github.com/OpenZeppelin/openzeppelin-contracts/pull/2502))
+* `Strings`: addition of a `toHexString` function.  ([#2504](https://github.com/OpenZeppelin/openzeppelin-contracts/pull/2504))
