+## [0.2.0] - 2025-02-14
+
+### Added
+
+- Added a new feature `rand` which controls if `ic-ed25519` will depend on the `rand`
+  crate. Key generation and batch verification are not supported if `rand` support is
+  disabled. Disabling this feature is useful anytime a dependency on `rand` is not
+  desirable, particularly when building for the `wasm32-unknown-unknown` target used for
+  the Internet Computer, due to the fact that a dependency of `rand`, namely `getrandom`,
+  refuses to compile for this target.
