-## 2.0.0-nullsafety.1
-
-* Require latest path_provider_windows to avoid potential issues
-  with breaking changes in `ffi` and `win32`.
-
-## 2.0.0-nullsafety
+## 2.0.0
 
 * Migrate to null safety.
+* BREAKING CHANGE: Path accessors that return non-nullable results will throw
+  a `MissingPlatformDirectoryException` if the platform implementation is unable
+  to get the corresponding directory (except on platforms where the method is
+  explicitly unsupported, where they will continue to throw `UnsupportedError`).
 
 ## 1.6.28
