 ## mini_portile changelog
 
-### 2.5.3 / unreleased
+### 2.5.3 / 2021-05-31
 
 Make `net-ftp` an optional dependency, since requiring it as a hard dependency in v2.5.2 caused warnings to be emitted by Ruby 2.7 and earlier. A warning message is emitted if FTP functionality is called and `net-ftp` isn't available; this should only happen in Ruby 3.1 and later.
