 <!-- To avoid merge conflicts, consider adding your item at an arbitrary place in the list instead. -->
 
+- `hareHook` has been added as the language framework for Hare. From now on, it,
+  not the `hare` package, should be added to `nativeBuildInputs` when building
+  Hare programs.
+
 - To facilitate dependency injection, the `imgui` package now builds a static archive using vcpkg' CMake rules.
   The derivation now installs "impl" headers selectively instead of by a wildcard.
   Use `imgui.src` if you just want to access the unpacked sources.
