Research direction

Start by reviewing the repository history and the tagged releases covering the headers v0.3 to v0.4 upgrade. Add a CHANGELOG.md that records the relevant release changes so consumers can compare versions without relying on a git diff, then verify that the entries match the release history.

Description

I'm one of the maintainers for the Volta project, and got a Dependabot upgrade PR to bump from headers v0.3 to v0.4. I came here to find out what those changes were (which Dependabot will also do in an automated way as best it can if you have a CHANGELOG.md or release notes on GitHub’s tagged releases) and was sad to discover that there’s no way for me to see what changed other than doing an actual Git diff between the two!

It would be delightful and really helpful for consumers using this library directly if you added an actual CHANGELOG file for the crate! 🙏
