 ## **[Unreleased]**
 
 ### Added
+- [#2208](https://github.com/wasmerio/wasmer/pull/2208) Add a new CHANGELOG.md specific to our C API to make it easier for users primarily consuming our C API to keep up to date with changes that affect them.
 - [#2103](https://github.com/wasmerio/wasmer/pull/2103) Add middleware (incl. metering) in the C API.
 - [#2003](https://github.com/wasmerio/wasmer/pull/2003) Wasmer works with musl, and is built, tested and packaged for musl.
 - [#2116](https://github.com/wasmerio/wasmer/pull/2116) Add a package for Windows that is not an installer, but all the `lib` and `include` files as for macOS and Linux.

 - [#2149](https://github.com/wasmerio/wasmer/pull/2144) `wasmer-engine-native` looks for clang-11 instead of clang-10.
 
 ### Fixed
+- [#2208](https://github.com/wasmerio/wasmer/pull/2208) Fix ownership in Wasm C API of `wasm_extern_as_func`, `wasm_extern_as_memory`, `wasm_extern_as_table`, `wasm_extern_as_global`, `wasm_func_as_extern`, `wasm_memory_as_extern`, `wasm_table_as_extern`, and `wasm_global_as_extern`. These functions no longer allocate memory and thus their results should not be freed. This is a breaking change to align more closely with the Wasm C API's stated ownership.
 - [#2210](https://github.com/wasmerio/wasmer/pull/2210) Fix a memory leak in the Wasm C API in the strings used to identify imports and exports coming from user code.
 - [#2108](https://github.com/wasmerio/wasmer/pull/2108) The Object Native Engine generates code that now compiles correctly with C++.
 - [#2125](https://github.com/wasmerio/wasmer/pull/2125) Fix RUSTSEC-2021-0023.
