 # Changelog
 
+## 2026-02-09 - 22.6.0 - feat(smart-proxy)
+add socket-handler relay, fast-path port-only forwarding, metrics and bridge improvements, and various TS/Rust integration fixes
+
+- Add Unix-domain socket relay for socket-handler routes so Rust can hand off matched connections to TypeScript handlers (metadata JSON + initial bytes, relay implementation in Rust and SocketHandlerServer in TS).
+- Implement fast-path port-only forwarding in the TCP accept/handler path to forward simple non-TLS, port-only routes immediately without peeking at client data (improves server-speaks-first protocol handling).
+- Use ArcSwap for route manager hot-reload visibility in accept loops and share socket_handler_relay via Arc<RwLock> so listeners see relay path updates immediately.
+- Enhance SNI/HTTP parsing: add extract_http_path and extract_http_host to aid domain/path matching from initial data.
+- Improve RustProxy shutdown/kill handling: remove listeners, reject pending requests, destroy stdio pipes and unref process to avoid leaking handles.
+- Enhance Rust <-> TS metrics bridge and adapter: add immediate poll(), map Rust JSON fields to IMetrics (per-route active/throughput/totals), and use safer polling/unref timers.
+- SocketHandlerServer enhancements: track active sockets, destroy on stop, pause/resume to prevent data loss, support async socketHandler callbacks and dynamic function-based target forwarding (resolve host/port functions and forward).
+- TypeScript smart-proxy lifecycle tweaks: only set bridge relay after Rust starts, guard unexpected-exit emission when intentionally stopping, stop polling and remove listeners on stop, add stopping flag.
+- Misc: README and API ergonomics updates (nft proxy option renames and config comments), various test updates to use stable http.request helper, adjust timeouts/metrics sampling and assertions, and multiple small bugfixes in listeners, timeouts and TLS typings. 
+
 ## 2026-02-09 - 22.5.0 - feat(rustproxy)
 introduce a Rust-powered proxy engine and workspace with core crates for proxy functionality, ACME/TLS support, passthrough and HTTP proxies, metrics, nftables integration, routing/security, management IPC, tests, and README updates
