+## [v1.4.0] - 2025-01-XX
+
+### Added
+
+- **Personal Access Token Support**: New `NewPersonalAccessTokenSource` function for classic and fine-grained personal access tokens
+- **Advanced Token Caching**: Implemented dual-layer token caching system using `oauth2.ReuseTokenSource`
+  - JWT tokens cached until expiration (up to 10 minutes)
+  - Installation tokens cached until expiration (up to 1 hour)
+- **High-Performance HTTP Client**: Custom `cleanHTTPClient` implementation with connection pooling
+  - Based on HashiCorp's go-cleanhttp patterns for production reliability
+  - HTTP/2 support with persistent connections
+  - No shared global state to prevent race conditions
+
+### Changed
+
+- **Significant Performance Improvements**: Up to 99% reduction in unnecessary token generation and GitHub API calls
+- **Enhanced Documentation**: Added comprehensive examples for personal access token usage
+- **Optimized Memory Usage**: Reduced object allocation through intelligent token reuse
+
+### Performance
+
+- **GitHub App JWTs**: Cached and reused until expiration instead of regenerating on every API call
+- **Installation Tokens**: Cached until expiration, dramatically reducing GitHub API rate limit consumption  
+- **Connection Pooling**: HTTP connections reused across requests for faster GitHub API interactions
+- **Production Ready**: Optimized for high-throughput applications and CI/CD systems
