+## 5.2.0 (April 11th 2020)
+This release fixes a very significant bug, whereby snapshotting was never occuring due to a zero-interval being passed to the Raft subsystem. This meant that the Raft log would grow without bound, and could result in very long start-up times if the Raft log was very large.
+
+### New features
+- [PR #637](https://github.com/rqlite/rqlite/pull/637): Allow the Raft snapshotting check interval to be set at launch time.
+
+### Implementation changes and bug fixes
+- [PR #637](https://github.com/rqlite/rqlite/pull/637): Set the Raft snapshot check interval to 30 seconds by default.
+
 ## 5.1.1 (March 28th 2020)
 ### Implementation changes and bug fixes
 - [PR #636](https://github.com/rqlite/rqlite/pull/636): Check consistency level before freshness check. Thanks @wangfenjin
