 ## Changelog ##
 
+### 0.7 (unreleased) ###
+- Add support for canonical AMP.
+
 ### 0.6 (unreleased) ###
 - Add: support for the "page" post type, except when used as homepage or page for posts. A new `page.php` is introduced with template parts factored out (`html-start.php`, `header.php`, `footer.php`, `html-end.php`) and re-used from `single.php`. Note that AMP URLs will end in `?amp` instead of `/amp/`. See [#825](https://github.com/Automattic/amp-wp/pull/825). Props technosailor, ThierryA, westonruter.
 - Add: AMP post preview button alongside non-AMP preview button. See [#813](https://github.com/Automattic/amp-wp/pull/813). Props ThierryA, westonruter.
