 ## [Unreleased]
 
+## [1.14.1] - 2025-08-28
+
+* Pin `Swatinem/rust-cache` action to a full commit SHA (#68 by @JohnTitor)
+
+## [1.14.0] - 2025-08-23
+
+* Add new parameters `cache-all-crates` and `cache-workspace-crates` that are propagated to `Swatinem/rust-cache` as `cache-all-crates` and `cache-workspace-crates`
+
+## [1.13.0] - 2025-06-16
+
+* Add new parameter `cache-provider` that is propagated to `Swatinem/rust-cache` as `cache-provider` (#65 by @mindrunner)
+
+## [1.12.0] - 2025-04-23
+
+* Add support for installing rustup on Windows (#58 by @maennchen)
+    This adds support for using Rust on the GitHub provided Windows ARM runners.
+
+## [1.11.0] - 2025-02-24
+
+* Add new parameter `cache-bin` that is propagated to `Swatinem/rust-cache` as `cache-bin` (#51 by @enkhjile)
+* Add new parameter `cache-shared-key` that is propagated to `Swatinem/rust-cache` as `shared-key` (#52 by @skanehira)
+
+## [1.10.1] - 2024-10-01
+
+* Fix problem matcher for rustfmt output.
+    The format has changed since https://github.com/rust-lang/rustfmt/pull/5971 and now follows the form "filename:line".
+    Thanks to @0xcypher02 for pointing out the problem.
+
+## [1.10.0] - 2024-09-23
+
+* Add new parameter `cache-directories` that is propagated to `Swatinem/rust-cache` (#44 by @pranc1ngpegasus)
+* Add new parameter `cache-key` that is propagated to `Swatinem/rust-cache` as `key` (#41 by @iainlane)
+* Make rustup toolchain installation more robust in light of planned changes https://github.com/rust-lang/rustup/issues/3635 and https://github.com/rust-lang/rustup/pull/3985
+* Allow installing multiple Rust toolchains by specifying multiple versions in the `toolchain` input parameter.
+* Configure the `rustup override` behavior via the new `override` input. (#38)
+
+## [1.9.0] - 2024-06-08
+
+* Add extra argument `cache-on-failure` and forward it to `Swatinem/rust-cache`. (#39 by @samuelhnrq)  
+    Set the default the value to true.
+    This will result in more caching than previously.
+    This helps when large dependencies are compiled only for testing to fail.
+
+## [1.8.0] - 2024-01-13
+
+* Allow specifying subdirectories for cache.
+* Fix toolchain file overriding.
+
+## [1.7.0] - 2024-01-11
+
+* Allow overriding the toolchain file with explicit `toolchain` input. (#26)
+
+## [1.6.0] - 2023-12-04
+
+### Added
+
+* Allow disabling problem matchers (#27)
+    This can be useful when having a matrix of jobs, that produce the same errors.
+
+## [1.5.0] - 2023-05-29
+
+### Added
+
+* Support installing additional components and targets that are not listed in `rust-toolchain` (#14)
+    Before only the items listed in `rust-toolchain` were installed.
+    Now all the items from the toolchain file are installed and then all the `target`s and `components` that are provided as action inputs.
+    This allows installing extra tools only for CI or simplify testing special targets in CI.
+* Allow skipping the creation of a `RUSTFLAGS` environment variable.
+    Cargos logic for rustflags is complicated, and setting the `RUSTFLAGS` environment variable prevents other ways of working.
+    Provide a new `rustflags` input, which controls the environment variable creation.
+    If the value is set to the empty string, then `RUSTFLAGS` is not created.
+
+    Pre-existing `RUSTFLAGS` variables are never modified by this extension.
+
+## [1.4.4] - 2023-03-18
+
+### Fixed
+
+* Use color aware problem matcher.
+    The problem matcher currently runs against the colored terminal output ([Bug 1](https://github.com/actions/runner/issues/2341), [Bug 2](https://github.com/actions/runner/pull/2430)).
+    The previous matcher was not aware of ANSII color codes and did not work.
+
+## [1.4.3] - 2023-02-21
+
+### Fixed
+
+* Executing the action twice for different toolchains now no longer fails around unstable features #12.
+    If multiple toolchains are installed, the "CARGO_REGISTRIES_CRATES_IO_PROTOCOL" can be downgraded to "git" if any of the installed toolchains require it.
+
+## [1.4.2] - 2023-02-15
+
+### Fixed
+
+* Tweak sparse registry version regex to better work with 1.68 nightly versions.
+* Fix command not found issue
+
+## [1.4.1] - 2023-02-13
+
+### Fixed
+
+* Fixed running on macOS #9 #10
+    The macOS images have an ancient version of bash, but the action relies on "newer" features than 2014.
+    We install bash via brew (already pre-installed) to have a new enough version.
+
+    The CI is extended to also run on Windows and macOS to catch such issues earlier in the future.
+
+    Thanks to @GeorgeHahn for reporting the issue.
+
+## [1.4.0] - 2023-02-13
+
+### Changed
+
+* Only set environment variables, if they are not set before.
+    This allows setting environment variables before using this action and keeping their values.
+* Enable stable sparse registry, except on versions 1.66 and 1.67 where this leads to errors.
+
+## [1.3.7] - 2023-01-31
+
+### Fixed
+
+* Disable the stable access to the sparse registry.
+    Setting the value causes problem on version before stabilization, e.g., 1.67.
+    For example, "cargo add" fails.
+
+## [1.3.6] - 2023-01-31
+
+### Fixed
+
+* The the correct environment variable to enable the sparse registry access.
+    The pull request originally had the wrong value, without `CARGO_` prefix.
+
+## [1.3.5] - 2023-01-21
+
+### Changed
+
+* Use the newly stabilized setting to enable sparse registry access.
+    This speeds up access to the crate registry and is in addition to the unstable nightly env var.
+    <https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/pull/11224>
+
+## [1.3.4] - 2022-10-15
+
+### Changed
+
+* The last version did not fix all "set-output" commands
+
+## [1.3.3] - 2022-10-13
+
+### Changed
+
+* Switch from set-output to $GITHUB_OUTPUT to avoid warning
+    https://github.blog/changelog/2022-10-11-github-actions-deprecating-save-state-and-set-output-commands/
+
+## [1.3.2] - 2022-09-15
+
+### Fixed
+
+* Fix setting `$CARGO_HOME` to a valid path, in case rustup is installed from the internet.
+    Thanks to @nahsi for providing the fix.
+
+## [1.3.1] - 2022-08-14
+
+### Changed
+
+* Use the sparse-registry on nightly for faster access to the crate registry on nightly.
+    <https://internals.rust-lang.org/t/call-for-testing-cargo-sparse-registry/16862>
+
+## [1.3.0] - 2022-07-30
+
+### Added
+
+* An option to disable configuring Rust cache.
+    Thanks to @filips123 for the PR.
+
+## [1.2.1] - 2022-07-29
+
+### Fixed
+
+* Set environment variables before invoking the cache action.
+    This ensures restoring and saving are using the same cache key.
+
+## [1.2.0] - 2022-07-21
+
+### Added
+
+* Prefer toolchain definitions in `rust-toolchain` or `rust-toolchain.toml` files ([Toolchain File](https://rust-lang.github.io/rustup/overrides.html#the-toolchain-file)).
+    Other input values are ignored if either file is found.

 ## Inputs
 
 All inputs are optional.
+If a [toolchain file](https://rust-lang.github.io/rustup/overrides.html#the-toolchain-file) (i.e., `rust-toolchain` or `rust-toolchain.toml`) is found in the root of the repository and no `toolchain` value is provided, all items specified in the toolchain file will be installed.
+If a `toolchain` value is provided, the toolchain file will be ignored.
+If no `toolchain` value or toolchain file is present, it will default to `stable`.
+First, all items specified in the toolchain file are installed.
+Afterward, the `components` and `target` specified via inputs are installed in addition to the items from the toolchain file.

+
+### RUSTFLAGS
+
+By default, this action sets the `RUSTFLAGS` environment variable to `-D warnings`.
+However, rustflags sources are mutually exclusive, so setting this environment variable omits any configuration through `target.*.rustflags` or `build.rustflags`.
+
+- If `RUSTFLAGS` is already set, no modifications of the variable are made and the original value remains.
+- If `RUSTFLAGS` is unset and the `rustflags` input is empty (i.e., the empty string), then it will remain unset.
+  Use this, if you want to prevent the value from being set because you make use of `target.*.rustflags` or `build.rustflags`.
+- Otherwise, the environment variable `RUSTFLAGS` is set to the content of `rustflags`.
+
+To prevent this from happening, set the `rustflags` input to an empty string, which will
+prevent the action from setting `RUSTFLAGS` at all, keeping any existing preferences.
+
+You can read more rustflags, and their load order, in the [Cargo reference].

+## Dependencies
+
+The action works best on the GitHub-hosted runners, but can work on self-hosted ones too, provided the necessary dependencies are available.
+PRs to add support for more environments are welcome.
+
+- bash 5
+- brew (macOS only)
+- rustup or curl
+- using other node actions
