+0.3.15 (2023-07-10)
+===================
+
+Features
+--------
+
+* Windows apps can now be packaged as simple ZIP files. (`#457 <https://github.com/beeware/briefcase/issues/457>`__)
+* An Android SDK specified in ``ANDROID_HOME`` is respected now and will take precedence over the setting of ``ANDROID_SDK_ROOT``. (`#463 <https://github.com/beeware/briefcase/issues/463>`__)
+* Android support was upgraded to use Java 17 for builds. (`#1065 <https://github.com/beeware/briefcase/issues/1065>`__)
+* On Linux, Docker Desktop and rootless Docker are now supported. (`#1083 <https://github.com/beeware/briefcase/issues/1083>`__)
+* The company/author name in the installation path for Windows MSI installers is now optional. (`#1199 <https://github.com/beeware/briefcase/issues/1199>`__)
+* macOS code signing is now multithreaded (and therefore much faster!) (`#1201 <https://github.com/beeware/briefcase/issues/1201>`__)
+* Briefcase will now honor PEP-621 project fields where they map to Briefcase configuration items. (`#1203 <https://github.com/beeware/briefcase/issues/1203>`__)
+
+Bugfixes
+--------
+
+* XML compatibility warnings generated by the Android build have been cleaned up. (`#827 <https://github.com/beeware/briefcase/issues/827>`__)
+* Non ASCII characters provided in the ``briefcase new`` wizard are quoted before being put into pyproject.toml. (`#1011 <https://github.com/beeware/briefcase/issues/1011>`__)
+* Requests to the web server are now recorded in the log file. (`#1090 <https://github.com/beeware/briefcase/issues/1090>`__)
+* An "Invalid Keystore format" error is no longer raised when signing an app if the local Android keystore was generated with a recent version of Java. (`#1112 <https://github.com/beeware/briefcase/issues/1112>`__)
+* Content before a closing square bracket (``]``) or ``.so)`` is no longer stripped by the macOS and iOS log filter. (`#1179 <https://github.com/beeware/briefcase/issues/1179>`__)
+* The option to run Linux system packages through Docker was removed. (`#1207 <https://github.com/beeware/briefcase/issues/1207>`__)
+* Error handling for incomplete or corrupted Github clones of templates has been improved. (`#1210 <https://github.com/beeware/briefcase/issues/1210>`__)
+* Application/Bundle IDs are normalized to replace underscores with dashes when possible (`#1234 <https://github.com/beeware/briefcase/issues/1234>`__)
+* Filenames and directories in RPM package definitions are quoted in order to include filenames that include whitespace. (`#1236 <https://github.com/beeware/briefcase/issues/1236>`__)
+* Briefcase will no longer display progress bars if the ``FORCE_COLOR`` environment variable is set. (`#1267 <https://github.com/beeware/briefcase/issues/1267>`__)
+* When creating a new Briefcase project, the header line in ``pyproject.toml`` now contains the version of Briefcase instead of "Unknown". (`#1276 <https://github.com/beeware/briefcase/issues/1276>`__)
+* Android logs no longer include timestamp and PID, making them easier to read on narrow screens. (`#1286 <https://github.com/beeware/briefcase/issues/1286>`__)
+* An warning is no longer logged if the Java identified by macOS is not usable by Briefcase. (`#1305 <https://github.com/beeware/briefcase/issues/1305>`__)
+* Incompabitilies with Cookiecutter 2.2.0 have been resolved. (`#1347 <https://github.com/beeware/briefcase/issues/1347>`__)
+
+Backward Incompatible Changes
+-----------------------------
+
+* Names matching modules in the Python standard library, and ``main``, can no longer be used as an appname. (`#853 <https://github.com/beeware/briefcase/issues/853>`__)
+* The ``--no-sign`` option for packaging was removed. Briefcase will now prompt for a signing identity during packging, falling back to adhoc/no signing as a default where possible. (`#865 <https://github.com/beeware/briefcase/issues/865>`__)
+* The version of OpenJDK for Java was updated from 8 to 17. Any Android apps generated on previous versions of Briefcase must be re-generated by running ``briefcase create android gradle``. If customizations were made to files within the generated app, they will need to be manually re-applied after re-running the create command. (`#1065 <https://github.com/beeware/briefcase/issues/1065>`__)
+* Flatpak apps no longer default to using the Freedesktop runtime and SDK version 21.08 when a runtime is not specified. Instead, the runtime now must be explicitly defined in the `application configuration <https://briefcase.readthedocs.io/en/latest/reference/platforms/linux/flatpak.html#application-configuration>`__. (`#1272 <https://github.com/beeware/briefcase/issues/1272>`__)
+
+
+Documentation
+-------------
+
+* All code blocks were updated to add a button to copy the relevant contents on to the user's clipboard. (`#1213 <https://github.com/beeware/briefcase/issues/1213>`__)
+* The limitations of using WebKit2 in AppImage were documented. (`#1322 <https://github.com/beeware/briefcase/issues/1322>`__)
