+<h2>Release 5.2.0</h2>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>The 'Update' button is disabled if CQC/Arena is detected.</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p>Frontier CAPI queries now run in their own thread.  There should be no
+change in functionality for users.   This affects both EDMarketConnector
+(GUI) and EDMC (command-line).</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p><code>File</code> &gt; <code>Status</code> will now use cached CAPI data, rather than causing a fresh
+query.  <strong>Currently if data has not yet been cached nothing will happen when
+trying to use this</strong>.</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p>Trying to use <code>File</code> &gt; <code>Status</code> when the current commander is unknown, or
+there is has been no CAPI data retrieval yet, will now result in the 'bad'
+sound being played and an appropriate status line message.</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p><code>File</code> &gt; <code>Save Raw Data</code> also now uses the cached CAPI data, rather than
+causing a fresh query.  This will write an empty JSON <code>{}</code> if no data is
+yet available.</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p>New <a href="docs/Licenses/">docs/Licenses/</a> directory containing all relevant
+third-party licenses for the software this application uses.</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p><code>Settings</code> &gt; <code>Output</code> &gt; <code>File Location</code> 'Browse' button will now always be
+available, even if no output options are active.</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p>The 'no git installed' logging when running from source is now at INFO
+level, not ERROR.  This will look less scary.</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p>EDMarketConnetor command-line arguments have been re-ordered into
+logical groups for <code>--help</code> output.</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p>Support added for several new EDDN schemas relating to specific Journal
+events.  The live EDDN server has been updated to support these.</p>
+<p>Schema support added for:</p>
+<ul>
+<li><code>codexentry/1</code></li>
+<li><code>fssdiscoveryscan/1</code></li>
+<li><code>navbeaconscan/1</code></li>
+<li><code>navroute/1</code></li>
+<li><code>scanbarycentre/1</code></li>
+</ul>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p>If a message to EDDN gets an 'unknown schema' response it will <strong>NOT</strong> be
+saved in the replaylog for later retries, instead being discarded.</p>
+</li>
+</ul>

+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>Pressing the 'Update' button when in space (not docked, not on a body
+surface) will no longer cause a spurious "Docked but unknown station: EDO
+Settlement?" message.</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p>A bug preventing <code>--force-localserver-auth</code> from working has been fixed.</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p><code>horizons</code> and <code>odyssey</code> flags should now always be set properly on <em>all</em>
+EDDN messages.  The <code>horizons</code> flag was missing from some.</p>

+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>Now built using Python 3.9.7.</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p>New <code>journal_entry_cqc()</code> function for plugins to receive journal events
+<em>specifically and <strong>only</strong> when the player is in CQC/Arena</em>.  This allows
+for tracking things that happen in CQC/Arena without polluting
+<code>journal_entry()</code>.  See <a href="PLUGINS.md">PLUGINS.md</a> for details.</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p>Command-line argument <code>--trace-all</code> to force all possible <code>--trace-on</code> to be
+active.</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p>Contributing.md has been updated for how to properly use <code>trace_on()</code>.</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p>EDMC.(py,exe) now also makes use of <code>--trace-on</code>.</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p>EDMarketConnector now has <code>--capi-pretend-down</code> to act as if the CAPI
+server is down.</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p>Killswitches now have support for removing key/values entirely, or forcing
+the value.  See <a href="docs/Killswitches.md">docs/Killswitches.md</a> for details.</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p><code>state['Odyssey']</code> added, set from <code>LoadGame</code> journal event.</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p>You can now test against a different EDDN server using <code>--eddn-url</code>
+command-line argument.  This needs to be the <em>full</em> 'upload' URL, i.e. for
+the live instance this is <code>https://eddn.edcd.io:4430/upload/</code>.</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p>New command-line argument <code>--eddn-tracking-ui</code> to track the EDDN plugin's
+idea of the current BodyName and BodyID, from both the Journal and
+Status.json.</p>
