 localForage's lifetime.
 
+### [1.5](https://github.com/mozilla/localForage/releases/tag/1.5.0)
+* **Major storage engine change for Safari**: We now use IndexedDB as the storage engine for Saferi v10.1 (and above). This means sites using localForage for data storage with users using Safari `< 10.1` will experience "data loss". In fact no data is lost but the engine will change so localForage will seem empty. You can still force a connection to WebSQL using [localForage's config](https://localforage.github.io/localForage/#settings-api-setdriver) to either keep using your existing WebSQL database or migrate to IndexedDB.
+
 ### [1.4.2](https://github.com/mozilla/localForage/releases/tag/1.4.2)
 * Fixes #562.
