+## [0.37.1] - 2024-10-22
+
+This patch release adds basic support for V5 extrinsics into `subxt-core`. We only bump `subxt-core` in this release; other crates should then take this patch automatically but you may need to `cargo update` to get the change.

 ## [0.37.0] - 2024-05-28
 
 This release mainly adds support for the sign extension `CheckMetadataHash` and fixes a regression introduced in v0.36.0
