 * Removes support for parameters annotated with `javax.inject.@Named`. Use `feign.@Param` instead.
 * Makes body parameter type explicit.
 
+### Version 7.2
+* Adds EmptyTarget for interfaces who exclusively declare URI methods
+
 ### Version 7.1
 * Introduces feign.@Param to annotate template parameters. Users must migrate from `javax.inject.@Named` to `feign.@Param` before updating to Feign 8.0.
   * Supports custom expansion via `@Param(value = "name", expander = CustomExpander.class)`
