+
+### Breaking

+[GH-160](https://github.com/atc0005/check-vmware/issues/160).
+
+See the build instructions in the project README file for other options.
+
+### Added

+    version specified by either a specified host or a specified cluster
+
+### Changed
+
+- Makefile
+  - add `clean` recipe for single OS builds (`linux`, `windows`) to match what
+    is already done for the `all` recipe
+
+- README
+  - Update coverage of installation steps
+  - Note shelving of `Windows` builds until feedback is received indicating
+    that others find them useful
+  - Add "other OSes" section inviting requests for precompiled binaries for
+    other supported OSes
+
+### Fixed
+
+- Missing plugin "type" in log messages due to missing constant/check in
+  logging setup
+- Invalid preallocaction of vhw slices used by `Oldest` and `Newest`
+  `HardwareVersionsIndex` methods
+- Add `Deprecated` section to v0.12.0 release entry of this CHANGELOG
