+1.0.0rc2 (2026-10-29)
+=====================
+This is the second release candidate. It is based on
+aas-core-meta 63cbfd3, where the optional lists in Part 2 are now
+allowed to be empty where the Part 2 specification and its OpenAPI
+schema allow them to be empty.
+
+The documentation is now published on GitHub Pages instead of
+readthedocs.
+
 1.0.0rc1 (2026-10-28)
 =====================
 This is an initial version ready for first tests.
