-I'm pleased to announce hledger 1.50.3.
-This release fixes a big performance regression in the 1.50 series,
-so you should avoid 1.50-1.50.2 and upgrade to this one.
-Thank you to contributors Caleb Maclennan and Stephen Morgan.
+hledger-1.50.4 fixes 1.50's journal include directive,
+so that it no longer ignores paths containing dot files/directories,
+and it no longer shows symbolic links dereferenced.
 
 Best,
 -Simon
