 Changes
 -------
-* Implement tc[io]flush methods & deprecate broken purge_buffers methods
-
-  Please check your code for ftdi_usb_purge_rx_buffer(),
-  ftdi_usb_purge_tx_buffer() and ftdi_usb_purge_buffers()
-  and migrate to the new ftdi_tc[io]flush() methods.
-
-  Old code will continue to function, but you'll get
-  a deprecation warning during compilation.
-
-* Add program to test buffer flush (purge) functionality
-* Add kernel driver auto attach/detach.
-  See new AUTO_DETACH_REATACH_SIO_MODULE option
-* Add ftdi_setflowctrl_xonxoff()
+* New ftdi_set_module_detach_mode() API function
 * ftdi_eeprom / eeprom handling:
-  * Unify handling of all boolean eeprom flags
-  * Add device release number support
-  * Add channel_a_driver support for type xxR chips
-  * Add support for group0 drive levels on x232H chips
-  * Fix handling of high_current_drive parameter
-  * Fix inverted handling of VCP driver field for TYPE_R chips
-  * New --verbose option for eeprom decode operation
-* Add example code for async mode
-* Add SPDX license identifiers to the core library & ftdi_eeprom
-* Various python SWIG wrapper improvements
-* Various cmake file improvements
-* Fix small bugs in error code paths
+  * Fix checksum calculation for FT230X series
