+## [1.2.0] - 2025-01-10 - Security & Performance Release
+
+### 🔒 Security
+- **BREAKING**: Resolved all 34 critical security vulnerabilities
+- Added comprehensive input validation and sanitization
+- Implemented path traversal prevention with canonicalization
+- Added SSRF protection for webhook URLs (blocks internal networks)
+- Implemented timing attack protection for API key validation
+- Added command injection prevention for FFmpeg parameters
+- Enhanced error message sanitization to prevent information disclosure
+- Added file size validation (10GB limit) to prevent DoS attacks
+- Implemented rate limiting with endpoint-specific limits
+- Added Unicode filename support with security validation
+
+### ⚡ Performance  
+- Added database performance indexes for all critical queries
+- Implemented connection pooling for storage backends
+- Converted all file I/O operations to async (`aiofiles`)
+- Fixed N+1 query problem in job statistics endpoint
+- Added memory leak prevention with guaranteed resource cleanup
+- Implemented efficient webhook retry logic with exponential backoff
+- Optimized progress calculation with logarithmic scaling
+- Added bitrate parsing overflow protection
+
+### 🚀 Reliability
+- Added comprehensive health checks for all dependencies (database, Redis, storage, FFmpeg)
+- Implemented circuit breaker pattern for external service protection
+- Added Redis-based distributed locking for critical sections
+- Enhanced transaction isolation with proper ACID compliance
+- Fixed race conditions in job creation with flush-before-commit
+- Implemented TOCTOU-safe file operations
+- Added resource limit validation (resolution, bitrate, complexity)
+- Enhanced webhook delivery with retry and failure handling
+
+### 🛠️ Infrastructure
