-## [Unreleased]
+## [1.4.0] - 2023-02-13
+
+### Changed
+
+* Only set environment variables, if they are not set before.
+    This allows setting environment variables before using this action and keeping their values.
+* Enable stable sparse registry, except on versions 1.66 and 1.67 where this leads to errors.
+
+## [1.3.7] - 2023-01-31
+
+### Fixed
+
+* Disable the stable access to the sparse registry.
+    Setting the value causes problem on version before stabilization, e.g., 1.67.
+    For example, "cargo add" fails.
+
+## [1.3.6] - 2023-01-31
+
+### Fixed
+
+* The the correct environment variable to enable the sparse registry access.
+    The pull request originally had the wrong value, without `CARGO_` prefix.
+
+## [1.3.5] - 2023-01-21
+
+### Changed
+
+* Use the newly stabilized setting to enable sparse registry access.
+    This speeds up access to the crate registry and is in addition to the unstable nightly env var.
