+## [0.11.1]
+
+### Fixed
+- Modified the [`reusable-changelog-check`](.github/workflows/reusable-changelog-check.yml) workflow to remove its dependency on a third-party action. The workflow behavior should remain unchanged except that applying the `bumpless` label now results in the workflow being skipped rather than succeeding. Fixes https://github.com/ASFHyP3/actions/issues/156
+  - When upgrading this reusable action in your repository, remove the following lines from the calling workflow:
+    ```diff
+    -    secrets:
+    -      USER_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
+    ```
