+## [0.0.12] - 2026-01-09
+
+### Changed
+
+#### Dependency Optimization
+- **Removed `http` package** - Eliminated redundant HTTP client dependency
+- **Unified HTTP client** - `ApiVersionProvider` now uses `dio` instead of `http`
+  - Better error handling with `DioException`
+  - Consistent with other HTTP operations in the codebase
+  - Proper resource cleanup with `dispose()`
+
+### Removed
+- `http: ^1.2.0` dependency from pubspec.yaml
+
+[0.0.12]: https://github.com/gurkanfikretgunak/masterfabric_core/releases/tag/v0.0.12
