+# Changelog
+
+TrixiTest.jl follows the interpretation of
+[semantic versioning (semver)](https://julialang.github.io/Pkg.jl/dev/compatibility/#Version-specifier-format-1)
+used in the Julia ecosystem. Notable changes will be documented in this file
+for human readability.
+
+## Breaking changes from v0.1.x to v0.2
+
+- The keyword argument `RealT` in the macro `@test_trixi_include_base`
+  has been renamed to `RealT_for_test_tolerances` to avoid name clashes
+  when passing a keyword argument `RealT`.

 Test an `elixir` file by calling `trixi_include(elixir; parameters...)`.
+
 The `additional_ignore_content` argument is passed to [`@trixi_test_nowarn`](@ref)
 and can be used to ignore additional patterns in the `stderr` output.
 By default, only the absence of error output is checked.
+
 If `l2` or `linf` are specified, in addition the resulting L2/Linf errors
 are compared approximately against these reference values, using `atol, rtol`
 as absolute/relative tolerance.
+
+The keyword arguments `additional_ignore_content`, `l2`, `linf`,
+`RealT_for_test_tolerances`, `atol`, and `rtol` are not passed to
+`trixi_include(elixir; parameters...)`.
