 # Changelog
 
+## 2026-03-16 - 25.11.10 - fix(rustproxy-http)
+validate pooled HTTP/2 connections asynchronously before reuse and evict stale senders
+
+- Add an async ready() check with a 500ms timeout before reusing pooled HTTP/2 senders to catch GOAWAY/RST states before forwarding requests
+- Return connection age from the HTTP/2 pool checkout path and log warnings for older pooled connections
+- Evict pooled HTTP/2 senders when they are closed, exceed max age, fail readiness validation, or time out during readiness checks
+
+## 2026-03-16 - 25.11.9 - fix(rustproxy-routing)
+reduce hot-path allocations in routing, metrics, and proxy protocol handling
+
+- skip HTTP header map construction unless a route on the current port uses header matching
+- reuse computed client IP strings during HTTP route matching to avoid redundant allocations
+- optimize per-route and per-IP metric updates with get-first lookups to avoid unnecessary String creation on existing entries
+- replace heap-allocated PROXY protocol peek and discard buffers with stack-allocated buffers in the TCP listener
+- improve domain matcher case-insensitive wildcard checks while preserving glob fallback behavior
+
+## 2026-03-16 - 25.11.8 - fix(rustproxy-http)
+prevent premature idle timeouts during streamed HTTP responses and ensure TLS close_notify is sent on dropped connections
+
+- track active streaming response bodies so the HTTP idle watchdog does not close connections mid-transfer
+- add a ShutdownOnDrop wrapper for TLS-terminated HTTP connections to send shutdown on drop and avoid improperly terminated TLS sessions
+- apply the shutdown wrapper in passthrough TLS terminate and terminate+reencrypt HTTP handling
+
 ## 2026-03-16 - 25.11.7 - fix(rustproxy)
 prevent TLS route reload certificate mismatches and tighten passthrough connection handling
