+## Changes
+
+### Version 3.0.0
+
+From now on, when you give the `--files` option, this tool outputs the path to the _copied_ license files rather than to
+the originals. When the `relativeLicensePath` option is given, this path will either be relative to the working
+directory or - if also the `out` option is given - relative to the `out` path.
+
+When using the `--out` option, you will not see output in the console, as the output goes into the file specified by
+`--out`. When using the `--files` option without `--out` option, you will now get console output, which was not the case
+before.
+
 ## All options in alphabetical order:
 
 -   `--angularCli` is just a synonym for `--plainVertical`
