+## New features
+
+- [PR#459](https://github.com/biojppm/rapidyaml/pull/459): Add version functions and macros:
+  ```cpp
+  #define RYML_VERSION "0.7.1"
+  #define RYML_VERSION_MAJOR 0
+  #define RYML_VERSION_MINOR 7
+  #define RYML_VERSION_PATCH 1
+  csubstr version();
+  int version_major();
+  int version_minor();
+  int version_patch();
+  ```
+
 ## Fixes
 
 - Fix [#455](https://github.com/biojppm/rapidyaml/issues/455): parsing of trailing val-less nested maps when deindented to maps ([PR#460](https://github.com/biojppm/rapidyaml/pull/460))
