+## Unreleased
+
+# OIDC and KML support release
+
+To configure your OIDC provider, set the following environment variables:
+
+```
+OIDC_CLIENT_ID=client_id_example
+OIDC_CLIENT_SECRET=client_secret_example
+OIDC_ISSUER=https://authentik.yourdomain.com/application/o/dawarich/
+OIDC_REDIRECT_URI=https://your-dawarich-url.com/users/auth/openid_connect/callback
+OIDC_AUTO_REGISTER=true # optional, default is false
+OIDC_PROVIDER_NAME=YourProviderName # optional, default is OpenID Connect
+ALLOW_EMAIL_PASSWORD_REGISTRATION=false # optional, default is true
+```
+
+So, you want to configure your OIDC provider. If not — skip to the actual changelog. You're going to need to provide at least 4 environment variables: `OIDC_CLIENT_ID`, `OIDC_CLIENT_SECRET`, `OIDC_ISSUER`, and `OIDC_REDIRECT_URI`. Then, if you want to rename the provider from "OpenID Connect" to something else (e.g. "Authentik"), set `OIDC_PROVIDER_NAME` variable as well. If you want to disable email/password registration and allow only OIDC login, set `ALLOW_EMAIL_PASSWORD_REGISTRATION` to `false`. After just 7 brand new environment variables, you'll never have to deal with passwords in Dawarich again!
+
+Jokes aside, even though I'm not a fan of bloating the environment with too many variables, this is a nice addition and it will be reused in the cloud version of Dawarich as well. Thanks for waiting more than a year for this feature!
+
+## Added
+
+- Support for KML file uploads. #350
+- Added a commented line in the `docker-compose.yml` file to use an alternative PostGIS image for ARM architecture.
+- User can now create a place directly from the map and add tags and notes to it. If reverse geocoding is enabled, list of nearby places will be shown as suggestions.
+- User can create and manage tags for places.
+- Visits for manually created places are being suggested automatically, just like for areas.
+- User can enable or disable places layers on the map to show/hide all or just some of their visited places based on tags.
+- User can define privacy zones around places with specific tags to hide map data within a certain radius.
+- If user has a place tagged with a tag named "Home" (case insensitive), and this place doesn't have a privacy zone defined, this place will be used as home location for days with no tracked data. #1659 #1575
+
+## Fixed
+
+- The map settings panel is now scrollable
+- Fixed a bug where family location sharing settings were not being updated correctly. #1940
+
+## Changed
+
+- Internal redis settings updated to implement support for connecting to Redis via unix socket. #1706
+- Implemented authentication via GitHub and Google for Dawarich Cloud.
+- Implemented OpenID Connect authentication for self-hosted Dawarich instances. #66
+
