+# Changelog
+
+All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.
+
+The format is based on [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.1.0/),
+and this project adheres to [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.html).
+
+## [Unreleased]
+
+### Added
+
+- feat: Add new `IdentifierRequiredError` class for missing identifiers.
+- feat: Add the option to use the decorators without passing the identifier: In this case, the identifier will be the class name (register) or the property name (inject).
+- Add pre release building to release workflow on dev/* branches an version changes.
+
+### Deprecated
+
+
+### Removed
+
+- feat!: Disable `experimentalDecorators` and `emitDecoratorMetadata` in the `tsconfig.json` file to reflect the change to the stable decorators api.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- feat!: Update `Register`, `RegisterInstance` and `Inject` decorators to reflect the change to the stable decorators api.
+- feat!: Update `Inject` Decorator typing to reflect the correct property type.
+
+### Security
+
+
+## [0.0.14]
+
+### Added
+
+- Added **ChangeLog** file and format it according to [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.1.0/).
+- Added reference to **Semantic Versioning** in the changelog file. (History will be updated on time).
+- Version format is now `v0.0.0` instead of `0.0.0`. Changes to this are also reflected in the workflos.
+- Add `Identifiers` and `Jest` Sections to the `README.md` file.
+- feat: Add new Error `InitializationError` to reflect errors during initialization of a dependency.
+- feat: Add initialization error handling and refactor Inject.
+- feat: After injecting a dependency, the lazzy loading getter will be replaced with the dependency itself.
+- feat: remove the use of a private property to store the injected dependencies. Now the dependencies are stored in the property itself.
+- test: Add tests for the new features.
+
+
+### Deprecated
+
+- Deprecated the old version format `0.0.0`.

 ## Configuration
 
+### Identifiers
+
+Strings and symbols are possible for the **identifiers**.
+
 ### Jest
 
+For the use of TSinjex with Jest, the corresponding source files can be found under `./src` of the TSinjex node_module folder. To use these files, the `moduleNameMapper` must be configured in the Jest configuration file. The following example shows how to configure the Jest configuration file to use the source files of TSinjex.
