+## [6.1.0] - 2020-04-21
+### Added
+- If Apiary's default S3 access log management is enabled (i.e., `var.apiary_log_bucket` is not set by the user), signal the Hive metastore to create the Hive database `s3_logs_hive` on startup. This is pre-work to prepare for S3 access-log Hive tables in a future version of Apiary. Requires `apiary-metastore-docker` version `1.13.0` or above.
+
+
 ## [6.0.0] - 2020-04-08
 ### Added
 - Per-schema option to send S3 data notifications to an SQS queue.  See `enable_data_events_sqs` in the [apiary_managed_schemas](VARIABLES.md#apiary_managed_schemas) section of [VARIABLES.md](VARIABLES.md)
