+* Version 0.2.0 on 2022-03-16
+
++ Fixed an inconsistency that was present when Emacs was running in a
+ server-client model where the highlight would never pulse but instead
+ remain fixed in place until another command was invoked. By default,
+ the pulse effect should now work for that use-case. Thanks to Mark
+ Barton, Petter Storvik, and user kb for their feedback in issue 1:
+ <https://gitlab.com/protesilaos/pulsar/-/issues/1>.
+
++ Implemented the ~pulsar-highlight-line~ command and abstracted the
+ relevant code. Unlike ~pulsar-pulse-line~, it never pulses the
+ current line. Instead it keeps the highlight in place until another
+ command is invoked. Thanks to Mark Barton for proposing this in
+ issue 1.
+
++ Introduced the user option ~pulsar-pulse~ which determines whether
+ pulsar should use a pulse effect (notwithstanding the aforementioned
+ new command). When its value is non-nil (the default) pulsing takes
+ place. Thanks to Petter Storvik for suggesting this approach in
+ issue 1.
+
++ Added the user option ~pulsar-iterations~ which controls how smooth or
+ abrupt the pulse effect is. This complements the existing variable
+ ~pulsar-delay~. Both apply only when ~pulsar-pulse~ is non-nil.
+
++ Wrote the ~pulsar-generic~ face and made it the default value of the
+ ~pulsar-face~ user option. This is consistent with the original
+ design of a theme-agnostic presentation, though now it ensures that
+ the =:extend= attribute is used to stretch the highlight to the edge
+ of the window (without it and depending on the theme, the highlight
+ would only reach the last character on the line).
+
++ Updated the manual to reflect those changes.
