 Changelog
 =========
 
-0.10.2 (2016-08-20)
+0.14.0 (2017-10-11)
+-------------------
+
+- Added a check to see if git-lfs is installed when doing an LFS clone.
+  [pieterclaerhout]
+
+- Added support for LFS clones. [pieterclaerhout]
+
+- Add pypi info to readme. [Albert Wang]
+

+-------------------
+
+- Fix remotes while updating repository. [Dima Gerasimov]
+
+0.13.1 (2017-04-11)
+-------------------
+
+- Fix error when repository has no updated_at value. [Nicolai Ehemann]
+
+0.13.0 (2017-04-05)
+-------------------
+
+- Add OS check for OSX specific keychain args. [Martin O'Reilly]
+
+  Keychain arguments are only supported on Mac OSX.
+  Added check for operating system so we give a
+  "Keychain arguments are only supported on Mac OSX"
+  error message rather than a "No password item matching the
+  provided name and account could be found in the osx keychain"
+  error message
+
+
+- Add support for storing PAT in OSX keychain. [Martin O'Reilly]
+
+  Added additional optional arguments and README guidance for storing
+  and accessing a Github personal access token (PAT) in the OSX
+  keychain
+
+
+0.12.1 (2017-03-27)
+-------------------
+
+- Avoid remote branch name churn. [Chris Adams]
+
+  This avoids the backup output having lots of "[new branch]" messages
+  because removing the old remote name removed all of the existing branch
+  references.
+
+
+- Fix detection of bare git directories. [Andrzej Maczuga]
+
+0.12.0 (2016-11-22)
+-------------------
+
+Fix
+~~~
+
+- Properly import version from github_backup package. [Jose Diaz-
+  Gonzalez]
+
+- Support alternate git status output. [Jose Diaz-Gonzalez]
+
+Other
+~~~~~
+
+- Pep8: E501 line too long (83 > 79 characters) [Jose Diaz-Gonzalez]
+
+- Pep8: E128 continuation line under-indented for visual indent. [Jose
+  Diaz-Gonzalez]
+
+- Support archivization using bare git clones. [Andrzej Maczuga]
+
+- Fix typo, 3x. [Terrell Russell]
+
+0.11.0 (2016-10-26)
+-------------------
+
+- Support --token file:///home/user/token.txt (fixes gh-51) [Björn
+  Dahlgren]
+
+- Fix some linting. [Albert Wang]
+
+- Fix byte/string conversion for python 3. [Albert Wang]
+
+- Support python 3. [Albert Wang]
+
+- Encode special characters in password. [Remi Rampin]
+
+- Don't pretend program name is "Github Backup" [Remi Rampin]
+
+- Don't install over insecure connection. [Remi Rampin]
+
+  The git:// protocol is unauthenticated and unencrypted, and no longer advertised by GitHub. Using HTTPS shouldn't impact performance.
+
+0.10.3 (2016-08-21)
+-------------------
+
+- Fixes #29. [Jonas Michel]
+
+  Reporting an error when the user's rate limit is exceeded causes
+  the script to terminate after resuming execution from a rate limit
+  sleep. Instead of generating an explicit error we just want to
+  inform the user that the script is going to sleep until their rate
+  limit count resets.
+
+
+- Fixes #29. [Jonas Michel]
+
+  The errors list was not being cleared out after resuming a backup
+  from a rate limit sleep. When the backup was resumed, the non-empty
+  errors list caused the backup to quit after the next `retrieve_data`
+  request.
+
+
+0.10.2 (2016-08-21)
 -------------------
 
 - Add a note regarding git version requirement. [Jose Diaz-Gonzalez]

@@ -88,3 +102,46 @@ Authentication
 ==============
 
 Note: Password-based authentication will fail if you have two-factor authentication enabled.
+
+Using the Keychain on Mac OSX
+=============================
+Note: On Mac OSX the token can be stored securely in the user's keychain. To do this:
+
+1. Open Keychain from "Applications -> Utilities -> Keychain Access"
+2. Add a new password item using "File -> New Password Item"
+3. Enter a name in the "Keychain Item Name" box. You must provide this name to github-backup using the --keychain-name argument.
+4. Enter an account name in the "Account Name" box, enter your Github username as set above. You must provide this name to github-backup using the --keychain-account argument.
+5. Enter your Github personal access token in the "Password" box
+
+Note:  When you run github-backup, you will be asked whether you want to allow "security" to use your confidential information stored in your keychain. You have two options:
+
+1. **Allow:** In this case you will need to click "Allow" each time you run `github-backup`
+2. **Always Allow:** In this case, you will not be asked for permission when you run `github-backup` in future. This is less secure, but is required if you want to schedule `github-backup` to run automatically
+
+About Git LFS
+=============
+
+When you use the "--lfs" option, you will need to make sure you have Git LFS installed.
+
+Instructions on how to do this can be found on https://git-lfs.github.com.
+
+Examples
+========
+
+Backup all repositories::
+
+    export ACCESS_TOKEN=SOME-GITHUB-TOKEN
+    github-backup WhiteHouse --token $ACCESS_TOKEN --organization --output-directory /tmp/white-house --repositories
+
+Backup a single organization repository with everything else (wiki, pull requests, comments, issues etc)::
+
+    export ACCESS_TOKEN=SOME-GITHUB-TOKEN
+    ORGANIZATION=docker
+    REPO=cli
+    # e.g. git@github.com:docker/cli.git
+    github-backup $ORGANIZATION -P -t $ACCESS_TOKEN -o . --all -O -R $REPO
