+# Changelog
+
+## v3.0.0 - alpha 1
+
+> [!WARNING]
+> This is the first alpha release of the new `qe-tools` package.
+> The API is getting more stable, but will _very_ likely still have breaking changes.
+> Not all commits are shown below, only updates since re-scaffolding the package.
+> Due to the large revamp and almost-empty previous `qe-tools`, no migration guide or summary of the changes will be provided: the documentation will serve that purpose.
