+- The C++ API was extended with `delBaseName()`.
+  This does not affect ABI compatibility, also C++ programs compiled against 0.8.24 and using `delBaseName()` will work with Elektra 0.8.23 or older.
 - `kdbtypes.h` now comes with support for C99 types
 - We added the private headerfiles `kdbnotificationinternal.h`, `kdbioplugin.h`. *(Thomas Wahringer)*
 - The I/O binding header files have been moved a new directory called `kdbio`.
   For example, instead of including `elektra/kdbio_ev.h` users of the binding now include `elektra/kdbio/ev.h`. *(Thomas Wahringer)*
