 # Changelog
 
+See also our [versioning policy](https://amici.readthedocs.io/en/latest/versioning_policy.html).
+
 ## v0.X Series
 
+### v0.26.0 (2024-07-06)
+
+AMICI v0.26.0 requires sympy>=1.12.1 and petab>=0.4.0.
+
+**Policy changes**
+
+* Updated AMICI's [versioning / deprecation policy](https://amici.readthedocs.io/en/develop/versioning_policy.html)
+
+  We will start removing deprecated features that had a deprecation warning
+  for longer than six months in the next minor release.
+
+**Deprecations**
+
+* Passing individual tables to `amici_import_petab` is now deprecated.
+  Use a `petab.Problem` instance instead.
+
+  by @dweindl in https://github.com/AMICI-dev/AMICI/pull/2464
+
+**Fixes**
+
+* Fixed a bug where during installation of AMICI, an incorrect sundials CMake
+  would be used resulting in installation errors.

+AMICI aims to provide a stable API for users. However, not all features can be
+maintained indefinitely. We will deprecate features in minor releases and

+features for at least six months after the release that includes the

+or major release. If a deprecated feature is the source of a major bug, we may
+remove it earlier.
