+# Herostratus - 0.1.0-rc1 - (2024-04-07)
+This is the first release of Herostratus! This release is largely centered around project
+bootstrapping; Herostratus isn't quite ready to use yet.
+
+## Added
+* Cargo project bootstrapping. You can run Herostratus with
+
+  ```sh
+  cargo run -- $CLONE_URL_OR_PATH $REF_OR_REV
+  ```
+  * `$CLONE_URL_OR_PATH` can be any non-authenticated clone URL (https, or local file paths)
+  * `$REF_OR_REV` is typically the name of a reference to parse. Herostratus will resolve the
+    reference to a revision, and visit all reachable commits from the revision.
+
+  The output is pretty bare bones. There's only a single achievement rule defined for prototyping
+  purposes.
+
+  For example, you can run Herostratus on itself, using the
+  <https://github.com/Notgnoshi/herostratus/tree/test/fixup> test branch
+  ```sh
+  $ cargo run -- . origin/test/fixup
+  Achievement { name: "I meant to fix that up later, I swear!", commit: 2721748d8fa0b0cc3302b41733d37e30161eabfd }
+  Achievement { name: "I meant to fix that up later, I swear!", commit: a987013884fc7dafbe9eb080d7cbc8625408a85f }
+  Achievement { name: "I meant to fix that up later, I swear!", commit: 60b480b554dbd5266eec0f2378f72df5170a6702 }
+  ```
+
+* Automated CI/CD pipelines to build, test, and release Herostratus.
+
+  The process to create a release is:
+  1. Add release notes to the `CHANGELOG.md`
+  2. Bump the version in `Cargo.toml`
+
+  and the pipeline will do the rest!
