 ### Added
 - The metadata repositories can now contain source files.
 - Support for unpacking bzip2 file formats.
+- The `msvc` requirement now supports specifiying version bounds using `msvc@<version-bounds>`.

 ### Available requirements
 All available requirements for use with the `build_requirements` and `test_requirements` fields. Requirements are things that need to be available on the system before building or testing, they need to be installed by the user manually.

 ## `prebuilds.toml`
 The package version directory can contain an optional `prebuilds.toml` file. This file describes which prebuilds can be generated for the package version. If the file is not available, a default list of prebuilds is assumed, consisting of a prebuild for each target architecture that is supported by the package.
