+## [0.5.0] - 2026-04-20
+
+### Added
+- `total_timeout` parameter on `Retry` to cap the cumulative time spent sleeping across retry attempts on a single request.
+- FAQ section explaining retry behaviour for read errors.
+- Security note in the logging docs warning that DEBUG logs include full request URLs, including query strings.
+
+### Changed
+- Dropped support for Python 3.9; added classifiers for Python 3.13 and 3.14.
+- Non-standard HTTP methods are now accepted without raising; `Retry.allowed_methods` stores uppercase strings rather than `http.HTTPMethod` members.
+
+### Fixed
+- Log a warning when a `Retry-After` HTTP-date value is parsed without timezone info, instead of silently using the local offset.
+- `parse_retry_after` now rejects non-ASCII digit characters per RFC 7231.
+
