 ## master
-- Allow arbitrary reversible scale functions through `ReversibleScale`.
 
+## v0.19.9
+
+- Allow arbitrary reversible scale functions through `ReversibleScale`.
 - Deprecated `linestyle=vector_of_gaps` in favor of `linestyle=Linestyle(vector_of_gaps)` [3135](https://github.com/MakieOrg/Makie.jl/pull/3135), [3193](https://github.com/MakieOrg/Makie.jl/pull/3193).
 - Fixed some errors around dynamic changes of `ax.xscale` or `ax.yscale` [#3084](https://github.com/MakieOrg/Makie.jl/pull/3084)
 - Improved Barplot Label Alignment [#3160](https://github.com/MakieOrg/Makie.jl/issues/3160).
