 Only accretive/fixative changes will be made from now on.
 
-* 1.2.next in progress
+* 1.2.689 -- 2021-08-01
   * Address #173 by extending `DatafiableRow` to `ResultSet` so there's a public method to call on (rows of) a JDBC result set directly.
   * Address #171 by clarifying that you cannot use `clojure.java.jdbc` functions inside `next.jdbc/with-transaction` and discuss how to migrate transaction-based code in the **Migration** guide.
   * Address #169 by expanding the description of `with-transaction` in **Getting Started**.
   * Cross-link to HoneySQL documentation for JSON/JSONB manipulation.
   * Remove superfluous prev/next links in docs (cljdoc does this automatically now).
-  * Update `depstar`, `test-runner`, and CI versions.
+  * Update `depstar`, `test-runner`, and CI versions. Add example `build.clj` to run tests in a subprocess (purely educational).
 
 * 1.2.674 -- 2021-06-16
   * Fix #167 by adding `:property-separator` to `next.jdbc.connection/dbtypes` and using it in `jdbc-url`.

 This project follows the version scheme MAJOR.MINOR.COMMITS where MAJOR and MINOR provide some relative indication of the size of the change, but do not follow semantic versioning. In general, all changes endeavor to be non-breaking (by moving to new names rather than by breaking existing names). COMMITS is an ever-increasing counter of commits since the beginning of this repository.
