 # Changelog
 
+## 2026-03-15 - 4.5.1 - fix(protocol)
+increase per-stream flow control window and channel buffers to improve high-RTT throughput
+
+- raise the initial stream window from 256 KB to 4 MB to allow more in-flight data per stream
+- increase edge and hub mpsc channel capacities from 16 to 128 to better absorb throughput under flow control
+
+## 2026-03-15 - 4.5.0 - feat(remoteingress-core)
+add per-stream flow control for edge and hub tunnel data transfer
+
+- introduce WINDOW_UPDATE frame types and protocol helpers for per-stream flow control
+- track per-stream send windows on both edge and hub to limit reads based on available capacity
+- send window updates after downstream writes to reduce channel pressure during large transfers
+
+## 2026-03-15 - 4.4.1 - fix(remoteingress-core)
+prevent stream data loss by applying backpressure and closing saturated channels
+
+- replace non-blocking frame writes with awaited sends in per-stream tasks so large transfers respect backpressure instead of dropping data
+- close and remove streams when back-channel or data channels fill up to avoid TCP stream corruption from silently dropped frames
+
 ## 2026-03-03 - 4.4.0 - feat(remoteingress)
 add heartbeat PING/PONG and liveness timeouts; implement fast-reconnect/backoff reset and JS crash-recovery auto-restart
