-## Changes
-
-- Always run `--setup`, `--prepare`, `--conclude`, and `--cleanup` commands in a shell, even when benchmarked commands run directly. Improve error messages for these commands, see #990 (@sharkdp).
-- Require an explicit shell choice for commands containing unquoted, standalone shell operators such as `&&` or `>`: use `-S` to interpret shell syntax or `-N` to pass operators as literal arguments (@sharkdp).
-- Use a compact output layout on narrow terminals (@sharkdp).
-- Make plotting and analysis scripts runnable directly from GitHub with `uvx --from 'git+https://github.com/sharkdp/hyperfine' <script>` (@sharkdp).

 # v2.0.0-alpha.1
 
 This is the first alpha release of hyperfine 2.0. Command-line options and export formats may change before the stable release. See the breaking changes below when migrating from hyperfine 1.x.
