 # Release notes
 
+## [v1.5.4](https://github.com/VirtusLab/scala-cli/releases/tag/v1.5.4)
+
+### Hotfix release
+Although Scala CLI 1.5.4 includes a few updates and improvements, it is primarily a hotfix release for versions 1.5.2 and 1.5.3, which due to technical limitations weren't available on some of our distribution channels.
+
+For extra context refer to:
+* [Scala CLI 1.5.2 release notes](#v152)
+* [Scala CLI 1.5.3 release notes](#v153)
+
+### Support for Scala Native 0.5.6
+This Scala CLI version switches the default Scala Native version to 0.5.6.

+**Full Changelog**: https://github.com/VirtusLab/scala-cli/compare/v1.5.3...v1.5.4
+
+## [v1.5.3](https://github.com/VirtusLab/scala-cli/releases/tag/v1.5.3)
+
+This is a hotfix release, which makes all the fixes and enhancements of Scala CLI 1.5.2 available through most standard distribution channels (rather than just Maven Central).
+For the main release notes, please refer to the [v1.5.2 ones](#v152).
+
+### Distribution limitations
+Due to technical difficulties within our release pipeline, Scala CLI 1.5.3 is **not** available via the following channels:
+- `yum` (on RedHat/Cent OS/Fedora)
+- `SDKMAN!`
+
+We have followed up with a 1.5.4 hotfix release to address this issue.
+
+### Hot-fixes 
+- Tag failing native packager tests as flaky by [@Gedochao](https://github.com/Gedochao) in [#3270](https://github.com/VirtusLab/scala-cli/pull/3270)
+- Make publishing depend on all integration tests & docs tests by [@Gedochao](https://github.com/Gedochao) in [#3272](https://github.com/VirtusLab/scala-cli/pull/3272)
+
+**Full Changelog**: https://github.com/VirtusLab/scala-cli/compare/v1.5.2...v1.5.3
+
+## [v1.5.2](https://github.com/VirtusLab/scala-cli/releases/tag/v1.5.2)
+
+### Scala CLI 1.5.2 will only be available on JVM
+Due to technical difficulties with our release pipeline, Scala CLI 1.5.2 was only released as a JVM launcher on Maven Central. While it can be used as such, we followed it up with a hotfix 1.5.3 release, which should be available through all standard distribution channels.
+
+```bash
+scala-cli --cli-version 1.5.2 --version
+# Scala CLI version: 1.5.2
+# Scala version (default): 3.5.2
+```
+
+### `--source` is now deprecated and scheduled for removal in Scala CLI v1.6.x
+Due to how easy it is to confuse `--source` (the command line option for producing source JARs 
+with the `package` sub-command) and `-source` (the Scala compiler option, which can also be passed 
+as `--source` in recent Scala 3 versions), using the former is now deprecated, and will likely be removed 
+in Scala CLI v1.6.x.
+
+```bash ignore
+scala-cli --power package --source .                       
+# [warn] The --source option alias has been deprecated and may be removed in a future version.
+# (...)
+```
+
+Do note that the deprecation (and future removal) only affects the option alias.
+The feature of packaging source JARs remains unchanged.
+It is now recommended to switch to using the `--src` alias instead.
+
+```bash ignore
+scala-cli --power package --src .  
+```
+
+Added by [@Gedochao](https://github.com/Gedochao) in [#3257](https://github.com/VirtusLab/scala-cli/pull/3257).
+
+### Support for Scala 3.5.2
+This Scala CLI version switches the default Scala version to 3.5.2.
+
+```bash
+scala-cli version
+# Scala CLI version: 1.5.2
+# Scala version (default): 3.5.2
+```
+
+Added by [@Gedochao](https://github.com/Gedochao) in [#3230](https://github.com/VirtusLab/scala-cli/pull/3230).
+
+### (experimental) Initial support for emitting Wasm with a command line option and a directive
+It is now possible to emit Wasm via Scala.js with the `//> using jsEmitWasm` directive:
+```scala title=wasm.sc compile power
+//> using platform js
+//> using jsEmitWasm
+//> using jsModuleKind es
+//> using jsModuleSplitStyleStr fewestmodules
+println("Hello")
+```
+Or with the `--js-emit-wasm` command line option:
+```bash ignore
+scala-cli --power package wasm.sc --js --js-emit-wasm
+# The `--js-emit-wasm` option is experimental
+# Please bear in mind that non-ideal user experience should be expected.
+# If you encounter any bugs or have feedback to share, make sure to reach out to the maintenance team at https://github.com/VirtusLab/scala-cli
+# Compiling project (Scala 3.5.2, Scala.js 1.17.0)
+# Compiled project (Scala 3.5.2, Scala.js 1.17.0)
+# Wrote ~/wasm/wasm.js/main.js, run it with
+#   node ./wasm.js/main.js
+tree wasm.js
+# wasm.js
+# ├── __loader.js
+# ├── main.js
+# └── main.wasm
+# 
+# 1 directory, 3 files
+```
+
+For more information about Wasm (WebAssembly) support via Scala.js, refer [here](https://www.scala-js.org/doc/project/webassembly.html).
+
+Added by [@Quafadas](https://github.com/Quafadas) in [#3255](https://github.com/VirtusLab/scala-cli/pull/3255).
+
+### Features
+* Add a `--js-emit-wasm` option and a corresponding `using` directive by [@Quafadas](https://github.com/Quafadas) in [#3255](https://github.com/VirtusLab/scala-cli/pull/3255)
+
+### Deprecations
+* Deprecate the `--source` command line option for the package sub-command by [@Gedochao](https://github.com/Gedochao) in [#3257](https://github.com/VirtusLab/scala-cli/pull/3257)
+
+### Fixes
+* Fix `--watch` to work correctly with changing `using` directives & sources requiring code generation (scripts, markdown, etc) by [@Gedochao](https://github.com/Gedochao) in [#3218](https://github.com/VirtusLab/scala-cli/pull/3218)
+* Ensure resource directories passed via a using directive aren't ignored in `--watch` mode by [@Gedochao](https://github.com/Gedochao) in [#3221](https://github.com/VirtusLab/scala-cli/pull/3221)
+* Ensure consecutive `-Wconf:*` flags are not ignored by [@Gedochao](https://github.com/Gedochao) in [#3245](https://github.com/VirtusLab/scala-cli/pull/3245)
+
+### Documentation changes
+* Mention the `Fix` command in the `Using directives` guide by [@dabrowski-adam](https://github.com/dabrowski-adam) in [#3239](https://github.com/VirtusLab/scala-cli/pull/3239)
