 ## [0.6.5] - Unreleased
 
+### Added
+
+- ESP32: add a new Elixir release "flavor" with a bigger boot.avm partition that has room for
+Elixir standard library modules
+- ESP32: `--boot` option to mkimage.sh tool
+
+### Changed
+
+- ESP32: Elixir library is not shipped anymore with `esp32boot.avm`. Use `elixir_esp32boot.avm`
+instead
+
+### Fixed
+
+- ESP32: content of `boot.avm` partition is not truncated anymore
+
 ## [0.6.4] - 2024-08-18
 
 ### Added

 # AtomVM Update Instructions
 
+## v0.6.4 -> v0.6.5
+
+- ESP32: `esp32boot.avm` doesn't contain anymore Elixir standard library, use instead
+`elixir_esp32boot.avm`, or the Elixir release flavor when using an image.
+- ESP32: partitioning schema for Elixir flavor is different, so app offset has been changed for
+Elixir images. Make sure to use `0x250000` as offset in your mix.exs or when performing manual
+flashing.
+
 ## v0.6.0-beta.1 -> v0.6.0-rc.0
 
 - Drivers that send messages from Esp32 callbacks should use new functions
