+## [0.5.1](https://github.com/rojo-rbx/rojo/releases/tag/v0.5.1) (October 4, 2019)
+* Fixed an issue where Rojo would drop changes if they happened too quickly ([#252](https://github.com/rojo-rbx/rojo/issues/252))
+* Improved diagnostics for when the Rojo plugin cannot create an instance.
+* Updated dependencies
+    * This brings Rojo's reflection database from client release 395 to client release 404.
+
+## [0.5.0](https://github.com/rojo-rbx/rojo/releases/tag/v0.5.0) (August 27, 2019)
 * Changed `.model.json` naming, which may require projects to migrate ambiguous cases:
     * The file name now takes precedence over the `Name` field in the model, like Rojo 0.4.x.
     * The `Name` field of the top-level instance is now optional. It's recommended that you remove it from your models.

 ## Migrating `init.model.json` files
 In Rojo 0.4.x, it's possible to create a file named `init.model.json` that lets you describe a model that becomes the container for all of the other files in the folder, just like `init.lua`.
