-### 0.3.12
+### 0.4.0
 (not released yet)
 
+- Job dependencies!  Thanks, Selwin.
+
 - Ability to provide a custom job description (instead of using the default
   function invocation hint).  Thanks, İbrahim.
 
+- Temporary key for the compact queue is now randomly generated, which should
+  avoid name clashes for concurrent compact actions.
