   [#1498](https://github.com/gakonst/ethers-rs/pull/1498). Note: this changes
   generated module names to snake case. For example, `MyContract` is now
   `my_contract` rather than `mycontract_mod`.
+- The `Cargo.toml` generated by bindings now includes the `abigen` feature on
+  ethers. [#1508](https://github.com/gakonst/ethers-rs/pull/1508)
