+# nvd changelog
+
+## 0.1.0
+
+- Optimized first level dependency calculation to read depenencies from
+  `nix-store` rather than walking a directory tree manually (issue #4).  This
+  also fixes nvd's support for things other than simple `buildEnv`s, e.g. file
+  entries at the top level of the store, derivations, and references in files
+  other than symlinks.
+
+## 0.0.1
+
+Initial release.
