+# Version 0.4.5 (May 30, 2020)
+
+## Core
+
+  * [[#1312], [`89150f`]] Fixed a low-severity, minimal impact soundness issue in
+    `LocalRequest::clone()`.
+  * [[#1263], [`376f74`]] Fixed a cookie serialization issue that led to
+    incorrect cookie deserialization in certain cases.
+  * Removed dependency on `ring` for private cookies and thus Rocket, by
+    default.
+  * Added [`Origin::map_path()`] for manipulating `Origin` paths.
+  * Added [`handler::Outcome::from_or_forward()`].
+  * Added [`Options::NormalizeDirs`] option to `StaticFiles`.
+  * Improved accessibility of default error HTML.
+
+## Docs
+
+  * Fixed various typos.
