+## [0.6.1] - 2026-05-27
+
+A patch release focused on the robustness of the streaming request and
+response paths and of decompression. There are no API changes; the only
+dependency-facing change is that the minimum supported `bytes` version is
+now 1.6.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- **The streaming request body reader treats the Connect END_STREAM
+  envelope as terminal** ([#130]). Request body bytes that arrive after
+  END_STREAM are now drained (bounded) and ignored with a warning instead
+  of being buffered, the decode buffer is released as soon as the decoder
+  finishes, and transport-level body errors are logged at debug level
+  instead of being silently discarded.
+- **Gzip decompression returns an error for truncated deflate streams**
+  ([#131]). A gzip payload whose deflate stream ends without an
+  end-of-stream marker is rejected with
+  `"gzip decompression stalled: truncated or invalid deflate stream"`
+  instead of never completing.
+- **Decompression output buffers are sized from the compressed input, not
+  from `max_message_size`** ([#132]). Previously every decompressed
+  message was backed by a limit-sized allocation (4 MiB by default) for as
+  long as the message was held; the backing allocation now tracks the
+  actual message size, with the same limits enforced as the buffer grows.
+- **The Connect client-streaming response parser stops at END_STREAM and
+  enforces the single-message rule before decompressing** ([#133]). A
+  second data envelope is rejected before its payload is touched, and
+  bytes after the END_STREAM envelope are ignored.
+
+### Changed
+
+- The minimum supported `bytes` version is now 1.6 ([#132]).
