+## v0.3.0
+
+### Added
+
+- `WriteAheadLog::checkpoint_active()` is a new function that checkpoints the
+  currently stored data, regardless of whether the configured thresholds are
+  met. This function returns after the active file has been rotated and the
+  checkpointing thread has been notified of the file to checkpoint. Thanks to
+  @blakesmith for implementing this in [#11][11]
+
+[11]: https://github.com/khonsulabs/okaywal/pull/11
