 ## Changelog
+- #### 2.9.5 released 22 December 2025.
+    - [#809](https://github.com/AbsaOSS/cobrix/pull/809) Add support for reading compressed EBCDIC files. All compression 
+      supported by Hadoop (.gz, .bz2, etc) are also supported by Cobrix because Cobrix uses Hadoop compressed streams for
+      reading such files. 
+    - [#811](https://github.com/AbsaOSS/cobrix/pull/811) Add read properties hash code as index key to avoid false cache.
+      This makes index caching safe to use by default, so index caching is now turned on by default.
 - #### 2.9.4 released 26 November 2025.
   - [#805](https://github.com/AbsaOSS/cobrix/pull/805) Added the option to cache VRL indexes for better performance when same files are processed multiple times.
