feat(protocols): refactor protocol utilities into centralized protocols module

- Created ts/detection module for unified protocol detection
- Implemented TLS and HTTP detectors with fragmentation support
- Moved TLS detection logic from existing code to centralized module
- Updated RouteConnectionHandler to use ProtocolDetector for both TLS and HTTP
- Refactored ACME HTTP parsing to use detection module
- Added comprehensive tests for detection functionality
- Eliminated duplicate protocol detection code across codebase

This centralizes all non-destructive protocol detection into a single module,
improving code organization and reducing duplication between ACME and routing.

 # Changelog
 
+## 2025-07-21 - 21.1.0 - feat(protocols)
+Refactor protocol utilities into centralized protocols module
+
+- Moved TLS utilities from `ts/tls/` to `ts/protocols/tls/`
+- Created centralized protocol modules for HTTP, WebSocket, Proxy, and TLS
+- Core utilities now delegate to protocol modules for parsing and utilities
+- Maintains backward compatibility through re-exports in original locations
+- Improves code organization and separation of concerns
+
+## 2025-07-22 - 21.0.0 - BREAKING_CHANGE(forwarding)
+Remove legacy forwarding module
+
+- Removed the `forwarding` namespace export from main index
+- Removed TForwardingType and all forwarding handlers
+- Consolidated route helper functions into route-helpers.ts
+- All functionality is now available through the route-based system
+- MIGRATION: Replace `import { forwarding } from '@push.rocks/smartproxy'` with direct imports of route helpers
+
+## 2025-07-21 - 20.0.2 - fix(docs)
+Update documentation to improve clarity
+
+- Enhanced readme with clearer breaking change warning for v20.0.0
+- Fixed example email address from ssl@bleu.de to ssl@example.com
+- Added load balancing and failover features to feature list
+- Improved documentation structure and examples
+
+## 2025-07-20 - 20.0.1 - BREAKING_CHANGE(routing)
+Refactor route configuration to support multiple targets
+
+- Changed route action configuration from single `target` to `targets` array
+- Enables load balancing and failover capabilities with multiple upstream targets
+- Updated all test files to use new `targets` array syntax
+- Automatic certificate metadata refresh
+
 ## 2025-06-01 - 19.5.19 - fix(smartproxy)
 Fix connection handling and improve route matching edge cases
