Update version

Note: bumped `Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.CSharp` in test projects, but didn't touch the one in CliFx.Analyzers as it may have unintended side-effects.

+### v2.0.6 (17-Jul-2021)
+
+- Fixed an issue where an exception thrown via reflection during parameter or option binding resulted in `Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation` error instead of a more useful message. Such exceptions will now be unwrapped to provide better user experience.
+
+### v2.0.5 (09-Jul-2021)
+
+- Fixed an issue where calling `IConsole.Output.Encoding.EncodingName` and some other members threw an exception.
+- Added readme file to the package.
+
+### v2.0.4 (24-Apr-2021)
+
+- Fixed an issue where output and error streams in `SystemConsole` defaulted to UTF8 encoding with BOM when the application was running with UTF8 codepage. `ConsoleWriter` will now discard preamble from the specified encoding. This fix brings the behavior of `SystemConsole` in line with .NET's own `System.Console` which also discards preamble for output and error streams.
+- Fixed an issue where help text tried to show default values for parameters and options whose type does not override `ToString()` method.
+- Fixed an issue where help text didn't show default values for parameters and options whose type is an enumerable of nullable enums. (Thanks [@Robert Dailey](https://github.com/rcdailey))
+- Fixed an issue where specific parts of the help text weren't legible in some terminals due to low color resolution. Removed the usage of `ConsoleColor.DarkGray` in help text.
+
+### v2.0.3 (09-Apr-2021)
+
+- Improved help text by showing valid values for non-scalar enum parameters and options. (Thanks [@Robert Dailey](https://github.com/rcdailey))
+
+### v2.0.2 (31-Mar-2021)
+
+- Fixed an issue where having a transitive reference to CliFx sometimes resulted in `SystemConsoleShouldBeAvoidedAnalyzer` throwing `NullReferenceException` during build.
+- Fixed some documentation typos and inconsistencies.
+
+### v2.0.1 (24-Mar-2021)
+
+- Fixed an issue where some exceptions with async stack traces generated on .NET 3.1 or earlier were not parsed and formatted correctly.
+- Fixed an issue where help text applied slightly incorrect formatting when displaying choices for enum-based parameters and properties.
+
 ### v2.0 (21-Mar-2021)
 
 > Note: this major release includes many breaking changes.

+#### Custom conversion
+
+To create a custom converter for a parameter or an option, define a class that inherits from `BindingConverter<T>` and specify it in the attribute:
+
+```csharp
+// Maps 2D vectors from AxB notation
+public class VectorConverter : BindingConverter<Vector2>
+{
+    public override Vector2 Convert(string? rawValue)
+    {
+        if (string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(rawValue))
+            return default;
+
+        var components = rawValue.Split('x', 'X', ';');
+        var x = int.Parse(components[0], CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);
+        var y = int.Parse(components[1], CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);
+
+        return new Vector2(x, y);
+    }
+}
