+# Changelog
+All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.
+
+The format is based on [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.0.0/),
+and this project adheres to [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.html).
+
+<!-- ## [Unreleased] -->
+
+## [0.5.4] - 2022-10-10
+- Add `_with_env` variants of functions to support in-process threaded tests for
+  rustup.
+
+## [0.5.3] - 2020-01-07
+
+Use Rust 1.36.0 as minimum Rust version.
+
+## [0.5.2] - 2020-01-05
+
+*YANKED since it cannot be built on Rust 1.36.0*
+
+### Changed
+- Check for emptiness of `CARGO_HOME` and `RUSTUP_HOME` environment variables.
+- Windows: Use `SHGetFolderPath` to replace `GetUserProfileDirectory` syscall.
+  * Remove `scopeguard` dependency.
+
+## [0.5.1] - 2019-10-12
+### Changed
+- Disable unnecessary features for `scopeguard`. Thanks @mati865.
+
+## [0.5.0] - 2019-08-21
+### Added
+- Add `home_dir` implementation for Windows UWP platforms.
+
+### Fixed
+- Fix `rustup_home` implementation when `RUSTUP_HOME` is an absolute directory.
+- Fix `cargo_home` implementation when `CARGO_HOME` is an absolute directory.
+
+### Removed
+- Remove support for `multirust` folder used in old version of `rustup`.

+
+Canonical definitions of `home_dir`, `cargo_home`, and `rustup_home`.
+
+This provides the definition of `home_dir` used by Cargo and rustup,
+as well functions to find the correct value of `CARGO_HOME` and
+`RUSTUP_HOME`.
+
+The definition of `home_dir` provided by the standard library is
+incorrect because it considers the `HOME` environment variable on
+Windows. This causes surprising situations where a Rust program will
+behave differently depending on whether it is run under a Unix
+emulation environment like Cygwin or MinGW. Neither Cargo nor rustup
+use the standard libraries definition - they use the definition here.
+
+This crate further provides two functions, `cargo_home` and
+`rustup_home`, which are the canonical way to determine the location
+that Cargo and rustup store their data.
+
+See [rust-lang/rust#43321].
