+### Changed
+
+- Renamed crate from `alloc-cortex-m` to `embedded-alloc`.
+- Renamed `CortexMHeap` to `Heap`.
+- Use `critical-section` to lock the heap, instead of `cortex_m::interrupt::free()`.
+  This allows using this crate on non-Cortex-M systems, or on
+  Cortex-M systems that require a custom critical section implementation.
