+### 0.x.x (unreleased)
+**BREAKING CHANGES**:
+
+* Change `redisReply.len` to `size_t`, as it denotes the the size of a string
+
+User code should compare this to `size_t` values as well.
+If it was used to compare to other values, casting might be necessary or can be removed, if casting was applied before.
+
+* `redisReplyObjectFunctions.createArray` now takes `size_t` for its length parameter.

 * Make string2ll static to fix conflict with Redis (Tom Lee [c3188b])

 * Import latest upstream sds. This breaks applications that are linked against the old hiredis v0.13
 * Fix warnings, when compiled with -Wshadow
 * Make hiredis compile in Cygwin on Windows, now CI-tested

-**BREAKING CHANGES**:
+* Bulk and multi-bulk lengths less than -1 or greater than `LLONG_MAX` are now
+  protocol errors. This is consistent with the RESP specification. On 32-bit

 * Remove backwards compatibility macro's
