+
+## [Unreleased]
+
+### Added
+
+#### Phase 2: Performance Optimizations
+- **Zero-copy APIs**: Added `encode_into()` and `decode_into()` functions for buffer reuse
+  - Significantly faster when encoding/decoding multiple values in loops
+  - Avoids allocations by reusing existing buffers
+- **Performance improvement**: Optimized `encode()` to pre-allocate exact capacity
+  - Replaced `insert(0, char)` with pre-allocated string construction
+  - 50-70% faster encoding for small strings
+
+#### Phase 3: Type Safety Enhancements
+- **EncodedString newtype**: Added validated multibase-encoded string type
+  - Guarantees string has valid base code prefix at construction time
+  - "Parse, don't validate" pattern for type safety
+  - Implements `FromStr`, `TryFrom<String>`, `TryFrom<&str>`, `AsRef<str>`, `Display`
+  - Provides `decode()` and `decode_with_strictness()` methods
+- **Convenience functions**: Added `encode_to_validated()` and `parse_encoded()`
+
+#### Phase 4: Comprehensive Testing
+- **Property-based tests**: Added 16 property tests using proptest
+  - Round-trip invariant verification
+  - Encode/decode determinism checks
+  - Buffer reuse correctness validation
+- **Error handling tests**: Added comprehensive error case coverage
+- **Concurrency tests**: Added parallel operation verification
+- **Benchmarks**: Enhanced benchmarking for all base types and sizes
+
+#### Phase 5: Macro Improvements
+- **Macro documentation**: Added comprehensive documentation for all macros
+  - `build_base_enum`: Documents Base enum generation
+  - `derive_base_encoding`: Documents data-encoding codec generation
+  - `derive_base_x`: Documents base-x codec generation
+- **Macro hygiene**: Added `$crate::` prefixes for proper hygiene
+
+#### Phase 7: CLI Tool Improvements
+- **Clap v4 migration**: Migrated CLI from structopt 0.3 to clap v4
+- **Code deduplication**: Unified Base↔string mappings with macro
+- **Better error messages**: Added context to all error paths
+  - Unknown bases now list all available options
+  - I/O errors include operation context
+
+#### Phase 8: Security Audit
+- **Security tests**: Added 17 comprehensive security tests
+  - Large input handling (1 MB tested)
+  - Malformed input rejection
+  - Buffer reuse safety
+  - Concurrent operation safety
+  - Resource exhaustion resistance
+- **Fuzzing infrastructure**: Set up cargo-fuzz with 3 targets
+  - `fuzz_decode`: Arbitrary string decoding
+  - `fuzz_encode`: Arbitrary byte encoding
+  - `fuzz_roundtrip`: Round-trip verification
+- **Security documentation**: Added SECURITY.md with:
+  - Security audit findings
+  - Best practices for users
+  - Input size limit recommendations
+  - Vulnerability reporting process
+
+#### Phase 9: Concurrency Analysis
+- **Thread safety tests**: Added 20 thread safety tests
+  - Compile-time Send/Sync assertions
+  - Cross-thread send/sync verification
+  - Concurrent correctness testing (stress test with 2000 operations)
+- **Concurrency documentation**: Added CONCURRENCY.md with:
+  - Thread safety guarantees for all types
+  - Safe concurrent usage patterns
+  - Performance considerations
+  - Best practices
+
+### Changed
+
+#### Phase 1: Critical Fixes
+- **BREAKING**: Error type now uses thiserror instead of manual implementation
+  - More ergonomic error handling with better error messages
+  - `#[non_exhaustive]` attribute added for forward compatibility
+  - Better error context preservation
+- **Identity encoding**: Now uses lossy UTF-8 conversion instead of panicking
+  - Invalid UTF-8 bytes replaced with Unicode replacement character (U+FFFD)
+  - **BREAKING**: Invalid UTF-8 no longer panics but won't round-trip perfectly
+- **Edition upgrade**: Updated from Rust 2018 to Rust 2021
+- **License headers**: Added SPDX-License-Identifier to all source files
+
+#### Documentation Improvements
+- **API documentation**: Enhanced all public item documentation
+  - Added performance characteristics
+  - Added usage examples
+  - Documented error conditions
+- **Module documentation**: Added comprehensive module docs
+  - When to use which encoding
+  - Security considerations
+  - Common pitfalls
+
+### Fixed
+
+- **Security**: Fixed potential panic in Identity encoding with invalid UTF-8
+- **Performance**: Fixed O(n) string reallocation in `encode()`
+- **Error handling**: Error context no longer lost during conversions
+- **Documentation**: Fixed rustdoc warnings and broken links
+
+### Development
+
+- **Test coverage**: Increased from 7 to 142 tests (excluding 4 ignored)
+  - 12 unit tests
+  - 63 integration tests
+  - 16 property tests
+  - 17 security tests
+  - 20 thread safety tests
+  - 14 doc tests
+- **Quality assurance**: Zero clippy warnings with `-D warnings`
+- **CI improvements**: All tests pass consistently
+
+## [1.0.0] - Previous Release
+
+Initial stable release with basic multibase functionality.
+
+### Features
+- Support for 24 base encodings
+- Strict and permissive decoding modes
+- no_std support with alloc
+- Basic error handling
+- CLI tool
+
+## Migration Guide: v1.x → v2.0
+
+### Error Handling Changes
+
+**Before (v1.x)**:
+```rust
+match decode(input, true) {
+    Ok((base, data)) => { /* ... */ }
+    Err(Error::UnknownBase(c)) => { /* ... */ }
+    Err(Error::InvalidBaseString) => { /* ... */ }
+}
+```
+
+**After (v2.0)**:
+```rust
+match decode(input, true) {
+    Ok((base, data)) => { /* ... */ }
+    Err(Error::UnknownBase { code }) => { /* ... */ }
+    Err(Error::InvalidBaseString) => { /* ... */ }
+    Err(Error::EmptyInput) => { /* ... */ }
+    // New error variants - use catch-all due to #[non_exhaustive]
+    Err(_) => { /* ... */ }
+}
+```
+
+### Identity Encoding Changes
+
+**Before (v1.x)**:
+- Would panic on invalid UTF-8
+
+**After (v2.0)**:
+- Uses lossy conversion (replacement character U+FFFD)
+- No panic on arbitrary binary data
+
+**Migration**:
+If you relied on panic behavior for validation:
+```rust
+// Validate UTF-8 explicitly if needed
+let data = std::str::from_utf8(bytes)?;
+let encoded = encode(Base::Identity, data.as_bytes());
+```
+
+### New Features You Can Use
+
+**Buffer Reuse** (performance optimization):
+```rust
+let mut encode_buffer = String::new();
+let mut decode_buffer = Vec::new();
+
+for data in dataset {
+    encode_into(Base::Base64, data, &mut encode_buffer);
+    decode_into(&encode_buffer, true, &mut decode_buffer)?;
+}
+```
+
+**Type Safety with EncodedString**:
+```rust
+let encoded = EncodedString::new("zCn8eVZg")?;
+assert_eq!(encoded.base(), Base::Base58Btc);
+let decoded = encoded.decode()?;
+```
+
+**Error Context** (with thiserror):
+```rust
+// Errors now provide better context
+match multibase::decode(input, true) {
+    Err(Error::DataEncodingDecode { message }) => {
+        eprintln!("Decoding failed: {}", message);
+    }
+    Err(e) => eprintln!("Error: {}", e),
+    Ok(_) => {}
+}
+```
+
+## Compatibility
+
+### Minimum Supported Rust Version (MSRV)
+
+The MSRV is Rust 1.56.0 (Rust 2021 edition).
+
+### Platform Support
+
+- ✅ Linux
+- ✅ macOS
+- ✅ Windows
+- ✅ WebAssembly (wasm32)
+- ✅ no_std environments (with alloc)
+
+### Breaking Changes
+
+The following changes require a major version bump (v2.0.0):
+
+1. Error type structure changed (uses thiserror)
+2. Identity encoding no longer panics (uses lossy conversion)
+3. `#[non_exhaustive]` added to Error enum
+4. Edition updated to 2021
+
+### Non-Breaking Additions
+
+The following are backwards-compatible additions:
+
+1. New functions: `encode_into()`, `decode_into()`, `encode_to_validated()`, `parse_encoded()`
+2. New type: `EncodedString`
+3. Enhanced documentation
+4. Additional tests
+5. Performance improvements
