+# ITK 5.4.2 Release Notes
+
+We are pleased to announce the release of [ITK 5.4.2](https://docs.itk.org), the latest maintenance update for this cross-platform, open-source toolkit supporting N-dimensional scientific image analysis with spatially-aware algorithms. 🎉 🍻 🥳 This patch release addresses several key issues identified since ITK 5.4.0 while maintaining API stability.
+
+🔦 Highlights
+-------------
+
+As a maintenance update following 5.4.0, version 5.4.2 incorporates critical improvements including:
+
+- **Enhanced Label Map Handling**: Improved unique label map filter behavior for segmentation workflows
+- **Modern Library Support**: Updated compatibility with recent libtiff versions
+- **Large Data Optimization**: Expanded `VectorImage` support for high-dimensional datasets
+- **Performance Improvements**: Fixed thread-based parallelism in SLIC filter implementations
+- **Cross-Platform Enhancements**: Build system updates and compiler compatibility fixes
+
+A full list of changes can be found in the changelog below.
+
+🔢 Versioning Note
+------------------
+
+This release follows 5.4.0 directly, as the intermediate 5.4.1 patch was reserved for an urgent hotfix that required immediate distribution prior to full release documentation.
+
+For comprehensive details on ITK 5.4.0, please review the [ITK 5.4.0 Release Notes](https://docs.itk.org/en/latest/releases/5.4.0.html).
