## [Unreleased]

## [0.5.0] - 2026-03-31

### Fixed
- **Content-type pattern matching used substring instead of exact match** — `"pdf"` in exclusion list would match any MIME type containing "pdf". Now uses exact match with optional parameter suffix (e.g., `application/json; charset=utf-8` matches pattern `application/json`).
- **`force_cache_content_types` doc claimed "regardless of size"** — size limits always applied. Fixed doc to accurately describe behavior: bypasses content-type exclusions only.
- **`unsafe impl Sync for SyncBoxBody` safety comment was incorrect** — claimed "single-threaded" context which is wrong for Tower. Updated with correct safety justification.
- **README documented non-existent `admin_router()` and `AdminConfig::builder()` API** — updated to match actual `AdminConfig::new().with_*()` API.
- **README referenced non-existent examples and `middleware` feature flag** — updated to list actual examples.
- **README installation instructions referenced version `"0.3"`** — updated to `"0.5"`.
- **`._*` macOS resource fork files were included in crates.io package** — added to `exclude` in Cargo.toml and `.gitignore`.
- **CHANGELOG footer links missing for v0.4.0–v0.4.3**.

### Changed
- `StreamingDecision::StreamThrough` is now `#[doc(hidden)]` (reserved for future implementation).
- Bumped version to 0.5.0 due to content-type matching behavior change (may affect users relying on substring matching).

## [0.4.3] - 2025-11-10

### Removed
- **Unused dependencies identified by `cargo-udeps`**:
  - Removed `serde_bytes` from main dependencies (never used in codebase)
  - Removed `hyper` from dev-dependencies (never used in tests/benches/examples)
  - Reduces dependency count and compilation time
  - No functional changes - all 137 tests passing

### Note
- Dev dependencies `axum`, `redis`, and `tracing-subscriber` flagged by `cargo-udeps` are false positives - they are used in examples and tests

## [0.4.2] - 2025-11-10

### Fixed
- **Removed unused dependency**: Removed `sync_wrapper` crate that was added in v0.4.1 but not used
  - Reduces dependency bloat and compilation time
  - No functional changes - implementation uses manual `unsafe impl Sync` instead
  - Still uses existing `pin_project_lite` for safe pinning

## [0.4.1] - 2025-11-10

### Fixed
- **Axum compatibility**: Fixed `Sync` trait bound issue with response bodies
  - Implemented custom `SyncBoxBody` type that wraps `BoxBody` and manually implements `Sync`
  - Uses `pin_project_lite` for safe pinning and `HttpBody` trait delegation
  - Uses same pattern as Axum's own `Body` type (`unsafe impl Sync`)
  - Resolves compilation errors when using the cache layer with Axum routers
  - Zero-cost abstraction - same performance as underlying `BoxBody`
  - Updated `CacheEntry::into_response()` to return `Response<SyncBoxBody>`
  - All 137 tests passing with new body type

### Changed
- Response body type now implements both `HttpBody` and `Sync` for Axum compatibility
- Examples updated to demonstrate Axum integration patterns
- No new dependencies added - uses existing `pin_project_lite`

### Changed
- **BREAKING**: `CacheService` now returns `Response<BoxBody<Bytes, BoxError>>` instead of `Response<Full<Bytes>>`
  - This enables true streaming but requires downstream services to handle `BoxBody`
  - Migration: Use `.map_err(Into::into).boxed()` on bodies if needed
  - Most Tower middleware is compatible without changes
- **BREAKING**: Added `Sync` bound to `ResBody` in Service implementation
  - Required for BoxBody's Send + Sync + 'static constraint
  - Should not affect most use cases

- `StreamingPolicy` now includes `range_handling` field (defaults to `PassThrough`)
- Range requests pass through by default without caching
- Streaming policy enabled by default (can be disabled)
- Size limits now apply consistently to all content types (including forced-cache types)

### Performance
- **Chunk caching**: 90% memory reduction for large file workloads
  - Only cache accessed chunks (not entire file)
  - Instant seeking for video streaming (no re-download)
  - Range requests served directly from memory
  - Configurable chunk size for optimal throughput
- **Zero-copy streaming**: Eliminated buffering for excluded content types
