+# 0.27.0 - 2026-07-28
+
+This release updates several dependencies. It attempts to minimize API breakage beyond updating
+the dependencies. It should be considered a "transitional release" as we modernize the crate's API
+over the next several releases. In particular, this release introduces a new encoding paradigm but
+does not remove the old one, so depending on this may help users transition.
