 # Changelog
+## In-dev - version TBC
+### Added:
+- Setting `#[deprecated]` attribute will now cause generated schemas to have the `deprecated` property set to `true`
+
 ## [0.7.4] - 2020-05-16
 ### Added:
 - If a struct is annotated with `#[serde(deny_unknown_fields)]`, generated schema will have `additionalProperties` set to `false` (https://github.com/GREsau/schemars/pull/30)
