 ## Release History
 
+### October 28, 2024
+* All enums now use ``uint32_t`` as the underlying type rather than ``unsigned long`` or ``int``.
+* Added ``BytesPerBlock`` utility helper
+* Fixed bug in DirectX 12 `CaptureTexture` for MSAA resolve state handling
+* texassemble, texconv, texdiag:
+  * Add "GNU-style" *--long-options* to the command-line tools (all existing switches are still supported)
+  * Fixed bug in texdiag's ``dumpdds`` command output filename extension handling
+  * Refactored code to use shared header
+* CMake and MSBuild project updates
+
 ### September 4, 2024
 * DDS reader now accepts a variant of the "DX10" extended header
   * arraySize of 0 is treated as 1

 * The ``CompileShaders.cmd`` script must have Windows-style (CRLF) line-endings. If it is changed to Linux-style (LF) line-endings, it can fail to build all the required shaders.
 
+* As of the October 2024 release, the command-line tools also support GNU-style long options using ``--``. All existing switches continue to function, but some of the `-` options are now deprecated per this table:
