 ## {{ UNRELEASED_VERSION }} - [{{ UNRELEASED_DATE }}]({{ UNRELEASED_LINK }})
 
-* Fixed mismatched `libsqlite3-dev` and `libsqlite3-0` versions in PHP 8.3 and 8.4 images.
+* Added logic to allow default `composer` version to be set based on PHP version.
+* Added `2.2` and `2.2-latest` shorthand options to install the latest stable 2.2 LTS version of `composer`.
+* Set default `composer` version to `2-latest`
+* Set default `composer` version to `2.2-latest` for PHP 5.3-7.2
+* Set default `composer` version to `1-latest` for PHP <= 5.2
+* Removed `composer` installation from images to prefer installing during app build
+* Fixed bug causing `composer` 2.2.x to be installed when `composer_version` was set to a single digit version such as `1`
+* Fixed mismatched `libsqlite3-dev` and `libsqlite3-0` versions in PHP 8.3 and 8.4 images

 ## Installing composer
 
-As of Lando `3.0.17` you can configure the version of `composer` you would like to install. This _should_ respect any of the versions listed on the [Composer download page](https://getcomposer.org/download/) but it is required you specify down to the patch version.
+Lando automatically installs the latest compatible version of Composer based on your specified PHP version:
+
+- PHP >= 7.3: Composer 2.x
+- PHP >= 5.3.2 and < 7.3: Composer 2.2 LTS
+- PHP < 5.3.2: Composer 1.x
+
+You can customize the Composer version by specifying either a specific version number or using a channel alias:
 
 ```yaml
 services:
   myservice:
-    type: php
-    composer_version: "1.10.1"
+    type: php:8.2
+    composer_version: "2.6.5"  # Install specific version
 ```
 
-You can also choose to ignore the `composer` install step by setting `composer_version: false`. This will use whatever version of `composer` was last bundled with our `php` image. The following "convenience flags" are also available:

 ## Installing global dependencies
 
 You can also use the `composer` key if you need to require any [global composer dependenices](https://getcomposer.org/doc/03-cli.md#require). This follows the same syntax as your normal [`composer.json`](https://getcomposer.org/doc/01-basic-usage.md#composer-json-project-setup) except written as YAML instead of JSON.
