 All notable changes to the LaunchDarkly Java SDK will be documented in this file. This project adheres to [Semantic Versioning](http://semver.org).
 
+## [5.5.0] - 2021-06-17
+### Added:
+- The SDK now supports the ability to control the proportion of traffic allocation to an experiment. This works in conjunction with a new platform feature now available to early access customers.
+
+### Fixed:
+- Removed unnecessary dependencies on Jackson packages in `pom.xml`. The SDK does not require Jackson to be present, although it does provide convenience methods for interacting with Jackson if it is present.
+
 ## [5.4.1] - 2021-06-10
 ### Fixed:
 - If a rule clause in a feature flag or user segment had a JSON `null` as a match value, the SDK would fail to parse the JSON data, causing an overall inability to receive flag data from LaunchDarkly as long as this condition existed. This is an abnormal condition since it is not possible to match any user attribute against a null value, but it is technically allowed by the JSON schema. The SDK will now correctly parse the data.
