 ## Unreleased Changes
 
-## [7.0.0-alpha.1][7.0.0-alpha.1] (February 18, 2021)
-This release includes a brand new implementation of the Roblox DOM. It brings performance improvements, much better support for `rbxl` and `rbxm` files, and a better internal API.
+## [6.2.0][6.2.0] (June 10, 2021)
+* Added "EXPERIMENTAL!" label to two-way sync toggle in Rojo's Roblox Studio plugin.
+* Fixed "Open Scripts Externally" feature crashing Studio ([#369][issue-369])
+* Updated dependencies, fixing `HumanoidDescription` ID issues.
 
-* Added support for all remaining property types.
-* Added support for the entire Roblox binary model format.
-* Changed `rojo upload` to upload binary places and models instead of XML.
-    * This should make using `rojo upload` much more feasible for large places.
-* **Breaking**: Changed format of some types of values in `project.json`, `model.json`, and `meta.json` files.
-    * This should impact few projects. See [this file][allValues.json] for new examples of each property type.
+[issue-369]: https://github.com/rojo-rbx/rojo/issues/369
+[6.2.0]: https://github.com/rojo-rbx/rojo/releases/tag/v6.2.0
 
-Formatting of types will change more before the stable release of Rojo 7. We're hoping to use this opportunity to normalize some of the case inconsistency introduced in Rojo 0.5.
+## [6.1.0][6.1.0] (April 12, 2021)
+* Updated dependencies, fixing OptionalCoordinateFrame-related issues.
 
-[7.0.0-alpha.1]: https://github.com/rojo-rbx/rojo/releases/tag/v7.0.0-alpha.1
-[allValues.json]: https://github.com/rojo-rbx/rojo/blob/f4a790eb50b74e482000bad1dcfe22533992fb20/plugin/rbx_dom_lua/src/allValues.json
+* Added `--address` flag to `rojo serve` to allow for external connections. ([#403][pr-403])
+
+[pr-403]: https://github.com/rojo-rbx/rojo/pull/403
+[6.1.0]: https://github.com/rojo-rbx/rojo/releases/tag/v6.1.0
 
 ## [6.0.2](https://github.com/rojo-rbx/rojo/releases/tag/v6.0.2) (February 9, 2021)
 * Fixed `rojo upload` to handle CSRF challenges.
