@@ -5,6 +5,7 @@
 #### Breaking changes
 - Dropped inline comment feature for `run` command. Previously s5cmd supported a command with an inline comment like `ls s3://bucket/object.gz  # inline comment`. ([#309](https://github.com/peak/s5cmd/issues/309))
 - Changed homebrew installation command on macOS. Users can install s5cmd via `brew install peak/tap/s5cmd`. ([#356](https://github.com/peak/s5cmd/issues/356))
+- Print usage errors to stderr instead of stdout and do not show help text on usage error. ([#399](https://github.com/peak/s5cmd/issues/399))
 
 #### Features
 - Added `sync` command to synchronize two given buckets, prefixes, or objects. ([#3](https://github.com/peak/s5cmd/issues/3))
