 CHANGELOG
 =========
 
+0.217.0 - 2023-12-18
+--------------------
+
+Permissions classes now use a `FieldExtension`. The new preferred way to add permissions
+is to use the `PermissionsExtension` class:
+
+```python
+import strawberry
+from strawberry.permission import PermissionExtension, BasePermission
+
+
+class IsAuthorized(BasePermission):
+    message = "User is not authorized"
+    error_extensions = {"code": "UNAUTHORIZED"}
+
+    def has_permission(self, source, info, **kwargs) -> bool:
+        return False
+
+
+@strawberry.type
+class Query:
+    @strawberry.field(extensions=[PermissionExtension(permissions=[IsAuthorized()])])
+    def name(self) -> str:
+        return "ABC"
+```
+
+The old way of adding permissions using `permission_classes` is still
+supported via the automatic addition of a `PermissionExtension` on the field.
+
+Using the new `PermissionExtension` API, permissions support even more features:
+
+#### Silent errors
+
+To return `None` or `[]` instead of raising an error, the `fail_silently ` keyword
+argument on `PermissionExtension` can be set to `True`.
+
+#### Custom Error Extensions & classes
+
+Permissions will now automatically add pre-defined error extensions to the error, and
+can use a custom `GraphQLError` class. This can be configured by modifying
+the  `error_class` and `error_extensions` attributes on the `BasePermission` class.
+
+#### Customizable Error Handling
+
+To customize the error handling, the `on_unauthorized` method on
+the `BasePermission` class can be used. Further changes can be implemented by
+subclassing the `PermissionExtension` class.
+
+#### Schema Directives
+
+Permissions will automatically be added as schema directives to the schema. This
+behavior can be altered by setting the `add_directives` to `False`
+on `PermissionExtension`, or by setting the `_schema_directive` class attribute of the
+permission to a custom directive.
