 # Changelog
 
+## 1.7.0 -- unreleased
+
+### Deprecation Warnings
+* Deprecated `MasterKey` and `MasterKeyProvider`. Replace your usage of these classes with `Keyring`. See `StandardKeyrings` 
+for the built-in keyrings that replace `KmsMasterKeyProvider`, `JceMasterKey`, and `MultiProviderFactory`. 
+We still support using master key providers and are not removing them yet. 
+When we decide to remove them, we will communicate that as defined in our versioning policy.
+* Deprecated `encryptData`, `decryptData` and related methods in `AwsCrypto`. Replace your calls to these methods with
+calls to `AwsCrypto.encrypt(EncryptRequest)` and `AwsCrypto.decrypt(DecryptRequest)`.
+
+### Major Changes
+* Introduce `Keyring` interface, built in Keyring implementations, and 
+ methods in AwsCrypto that use keyrings [PR #173](https://github.com/aws/aws-encryption-sdk-java/pull/173)
+
