 # Changelog
 
+## Version 5.5.7.9000
+* For `compare_clusterings`, fixed a bug that caused the order of columns "k" and "method" to be wrong in the data frame with results for hierarchical configurations.
+
 ## Version 5.5.7
 * Series order is now preserved in plots of included shiny apps.
 * The optimization in `sdtw_cent` now uses `stats::optim` by default.
