 ### Deprecated
 - the `ptr()` function on all peripherals register blocks in favor of
   the associated constant `PTR` (#386).
 
+### Changed
+
+- The `inline-asm` feature no longer requires a nightly Rust compiler, but
+  does require Rust 1.59 or above.
+
+### Fixed
+- Fixed `singleton!()` statics sometimes ending up in `.data` instead of `.bss` (#364, #380).
+  (Backported from upcoming 0.8 release).
