+## [v0.13.0] - 2025-11-13
+
+### 🚀 HDF5 2.0.0 Compatibility Release
+
+**Status**: Stable Release
+**Focus**: HDF5 2.0.0 format compatibility, security hardening, AI/ML datatype support
+**Quality**: 86.1% coverage, 0 linter issues, production-ready
+
+### 🔒 Security
+
+#### CVE Fixes (TASK-023)
+- **CVE-2025-7067** (HIGH 7.8): Buffer overflow in chunk reading
+  - Added `SafeMultiply()` for overflow-safe multiplication
+  - Created `CalculateChunkSize()` with overflow checking
+  - Applied validation in dataset_reader.go
+- **CVE-2025-6269** (MEDIUM 6.5): Heap overflow in attribute reading
+  - Overflow checks in `ReadValue()` for all datatypes
+  - Validates totalBytes before allocation
+  - MaxAttributeSize limit (64MB)
+- **CVE-2025-2926** (MEDIUM 6.2): Stack overflow in string handling
+  - MaxStringSize limit (16MB) validation
+  - Applied to dataset_reader_strings.go and compound.go
+- **CVE-2025-44905** (MEDIUM 5.9): Integer overflow in hyperslab selection
+  - Created `ValidateHyperslabBounds()` function
+  - Added `CalculateHyperslabElements()` with overflow checking
+  - MaxHyperslabElements limit (1 billion)
+
+**Files**:
+- `internal/utils/overflow.go` (NEW - 121 lines)
+- `internal/utils/overflow_test.go` (NEW - 251 lines)
+- `internal/utils/security_test.go` (NEW - 501 lines)
+- Updated 7 core files with security validations
+
+**Quality**: 39 security test cases, all passing
+
+### ✨ Added
+
+#### HDF5 Format v4 Superblock Support (TASK-024)
+- **Superblock Version 4** read and write support (52-byte structure)
+- **Read Support**: Parse v4 superblocks with checksum validation
+- **Write Support**: Create v4 superblocks with CRC32/Fletcher32 checksums
+- **Checksum Validation** - CRC32, Fletcher32, none
+- **Mandatory Extension Validation** - Format v4 compliance
+- **Backward Compatibility** - Full support for v0, v2, v3 formats
+
+**Implementation**:
+- Extended Superblock struct with v4 fields
+- `validateSuperblockChecksum()` with 3 algorithms (read)
+- `writeV4()` with checksum generation (write)
+- `computeFletcher32()` per HDF5 specification
+- Round-trip validation tests (write → read → compare)
+- Mock-based testing (real v4 files when HDF5 2.0.0 becomes available)
+
+**Files**: `superblock.go` (+203 lines), `superblock_test.go` (+435 lines), `superblock_write_test.go` (+157 lines)
+
+#### 64-bit Chunk Dimensions Support (TASK-025)
+- **BREAKING CHANGE**: `DataLayoutMessage.ChunkSize` changed from `[]uint32` to `[]uint64`
+  - Only affects code directly accessing `internal/core` package structures
+  - Public API remains unchanged
+- **Large Chunk Support** - Chunks larger than 4GB for scientific datasets
+- **Auto-Detection** - Chunk key size from superblock version
+- **Backward Compatibility** - Full support for existing files
+
+**Implementation**:
+- Added `ChunkKeySize` field (4 bytes for v0-v3, 8 bytes for v4+)
+- Version-based detection in `ParseDataLayoutMessage()`
+- Updated all chunk processing functions to uint64
+- Superblock v0-v3: Read as uint32, convert to uint64
+- Superblock v4+: Read as uint64 directly
+
+**Files**: 12 files modified (datalayout.go, dataset_reader.go, btree_v1.go, 8 test files)
+
+#### AI/ML Datatypes (TASK-026)
+- **FP8 E4M3** (8-bit float, 4-bit exponent, 3-bit mantissa)
+  - Range: ±448
+  - Precision: ~1 decimal digit
+  - Use case: ML training with high precision
+- **FP8 E5M2** (8-bit float, 5-bit exponent, 2-bit mantissa)
+  - Range: ±114688
+  - Precision: ~1 decimal digit
+  - Use case: ML inference with high dynamic range
+- **bfloat16** (16-bit brain float, 8-bit exponent, 7-bit mantissa)
+  - Range: ±3.4e38 (same as float32)
+  - Precision: ~2 decimal digits
+  - Use case: Google TPU, NVIDIA Tensor Cores, Intel AMX
+
+**Implementation**:
+- Full IEEE 754 compliance
+- Special values: zero, ±infinity, NaN, subnormal numbers
+- Round-to-nearest conversion (banker's rounding for bfloat16)
+- Fast bfloat16 conversion (bit-shift only)
+
+**Files**:
+- `datatype_fp8.go` (327 lines)
+- `datatype_bfloat16.go` (72 lines)
+- `datatype_fp8_test.go` (238 lines)
+- `datatype_bfloat16_test.go` (202 lines)
+
+**Quality**: 23 test functions, >85% coverage, IEEE 754 compliant
+
+### 🔧 Improved
+
+#### Code Quality
+- Added justified nolint for binary format parsing complexity
+- Zero linter issues across 34+ linters
+- Security-first approach with overflow protection throughout
+
+### 📊 Metrics
+
+- **Coverage**: 86.1% (target: >70%)
+- **Test Suite**: 100% pass rate (433 official HDF5 test files)
+- **Linter**: 0 issues
+- **Security**: 4 CVEs fixed, 39 security test cases
