 ## Changelog
 
+### 0.6.0 (2025-12-08)
+
+- New `derived = true` flag allows variables to be computed from default without prompting the user
+- `prompt` remains required for non-derived variables, but is optional when `derived` is set to true
+- Allow using a JSON file as input for the values for the CLI
+
 ### 0.5.0 (2024-12-13)
 
 - The `sub-dir` parameter has been renamed to `directory` in the CLI
