+## Upstream API changes
+
+As we aim to track API changes in Gitea 1.16 with this SDK release, you may find this [summary listing of changes](https://gitea.com/gitea/go-sdk/issues/558) helpful.
+
+## GetPullRequestDiff
+ Added new parameter `opts PullRequestDiffOption`. Gitea 1.16 will default to omit binary file changes in diffs; if you still need that information, set `opts.Binary = true`.
+ Related PRs:
