+## [0.14.8] - 2025-08-26 12:00:00
+
+### Added
+
+- Adds a complete benchmark suite for measuring and optimizing Dask performance in OG-Core, with particular focus on Windows performance issues.
+- New and updated files:
+    - tests/test_dask_benchmarks.py: Mock benchmark tests with synthetic workloads
+    - tests/test_real_txfunc_benchmarks.py: Real-world tax function benchmarks
+    - tests/run_benchmarks.py: Automated benchmark runner with reporting
+    - tests/BENCHMARK_README.md: Comprehensive documentation and usage guide
+    - pytest.ini: Updated with benchmark test markers
+- Key features:
+    - Platform-specific optimization tests (Windows, macOS, Linux)
+    - Memory usage and compute time benchmarking
+    - Baseline establishment and performance regression detection
+    - Comparison of different Dask schedulers and client configurations
+    - Real tax function estimation performance measurement
+    - Automated identification of optimal Dask settings per platform
+- Benefits:
+    - Establishes performance baselines before optimization work
+    - Identifies Windows-specific Dask performance bottlenecks
+    - Provides automated regression detection for future changes
+    - Enables data-driven optimization decisions
+    - Supports continuous performance monitoring
+- Usage:
+    - `python tests/run_benchmarks.py  # Run all benchmarks`
+    - `python tests/run_benchmarks.py --quick  # Quick benchmarks only`
+    - `python tests/run_benchmarks.py --save-baseline  # Save performance baseline`
+    - `python tests/run_benchmarks.py --compare-baseline # Compare against baseline`
+- 🤖 Generated with help from Claude Code
