 Yet another overdue... hotfix. Sorry this took so long.
 
 * The false positive for indented function parameters in namespaces was eradicated. (https://github.com/cpplint/cpplint/pull/304)
-* build/include-what-you-use now recognizes c-style headers, such as <stdio.h> for symbols from <cstdio>. (https://github.com/cpplint/cpplint/pull/319)
+* Files that end in ".c", ".C", or ".cu" will now also automatically suppress C++-only categories. Previously, `// NO_LINT_C` was required. (https://github.com/cpplint/cpplint/pull/308)
+* build/include-what-you-use now recognizes c-style headers such as <stdio.h> for symbols from <cstdio>. (https://github.com/cpplint/cpplint/pull/319)
 * Ruff was ran on the project to improve performance and reader comprehension thanks to @cclauss.
