+## [0.5.4] - 08-08-2024
+
+**Skylark data analysis and new internal utility functions**
+
+### Added
+
+- `AnnualDate` type and associated functions for working with recurring dates (#101)
+  - can be constructed from two `Int64`, a `Date`, or a `Tuple{Int64,Int64}`
+  - automatic conversion from `Date` or `Tuple{Int64,Int64}`
+  - can use operators: `==`, `<`, `+`, `-`, `:`
+  - `thisyear()`, `lastyear()`, `nextyear()` functions and macros
+
+- new file `core/utils.jl` for utility functions that fit in no other file
+
+- irregular data logging using `record!()`/`@record()` (#103)
+
+- data outputs & visualisation for the skylark model (#97)
+
+- `randn()` function and macro to sample from a vector using a normal distribution
+
+- `make install` to download and install Julia and package dependencies (on Linux, #67)
+
+- weather file for the Thüringer Becken
+
+### Changed
+
+- moved random number functions and macros from `input.jl` to `utils.jl`
+
+- expanded weather data for Jena to 1990-2023
+
+- Non-breeding skylarks only search for neighbours to follow once (-> huge
+  performance improvement!)
+
+### Fixed
+
+- bug fixes in the skylark model
