+## [0.3.0] - 2025-11-21
+
+### Added - Production Quality Release 🎉
+
+**Functional Options Pattern**:
+- `WithEndianness(binary.ByteOrder)` - Set byte order for v5 files (little/big endian)
+- `WithDescription(string)` - Set custom file description (truncated to 116 bytes)
+- `WithCompression(int)` - Set compression level 0-9 for v7.3 files
+- Fully backward compatible with existing `Create()` API
+- Example: `matlab.Create(filename, version, WithEndianness(binary.BigEndian))`
+
+**API Convenience Methods** (70% less boilerplate):
+- `MatFile.GetVariable(name string)` - Direct variable access by name
+- `MatFile.GetVariableNames()` - Get all variable names as []string
+- `MatFile.HasVariable(name string)` - Check if variable exists
+- `Variable.GetFloat64Array()` - Type-safe extraction with auto-conversion
+- `Variable.GetInt32Array()` - Type-safe int32 array extraction
+- `Variable.GetComplex128Array()` - Complex number extraction
+- `Variable.GetScalar()` - Extract single scalar value
+
+**Testable Examples** (17 godoc examples):
+- Package-level example showing basic usage
+- File creation examples for v5 and v7.3 formats
+- Reading and writing examples with real data
+- Round-trip and multi-variable examples
+- Functional options examples
+- All examples verified by `go test`
+
+### Fixed - Critical Security Issues
+
+**Security Fix #1: Tag Size Validation** (High Priority):
+- **Issue**: No validation on v5 tag sizes - potential memory exhaustion attack
+- **Impact**: Malicious MAT files could specify huge sizes (0xFFFFFFFF = 4GB+)
+- **Fix**: Added `maxReasonableSize = 2GB` limit in `internal/v5/data_tag.go:53`
+- **Detection**: Returns error for tags larger than 2GB
+
+**Security Fix #2: Dimension Overflow Check** (High Priority):
+- **Issue**: No overflow check when calculating total array size from dimensions
+- **Impact**: Integer overflow could lead to incorrect buffer allocation
+- **Fix**: Added `math.MaxInt` check before dimension multiplication
+- **Location**: `internal/v5/writer.go:124` and `internal/v73/writer.go:98`
+- **Example**: `[0xFFFFFFFF, 0xFFFFFFFF]` now detected and rejected
+
+**Security Fix #3: v73 Complex Reading** (Functionality):
+- **Issue**: v73 complex number groups not properly detected during reading
+- **Impact**: Round-trip failures for complex numbers in v7.3 format
+- **Fix**: Added `MATLAB_complex` attribute detection in `internal/v73/adapter.go:50`
+- **Function**: New `convertComplexGroup()` for proper complex group handling
+
+### Quality Improvements
+
+**Code Quality**:
+- Grade: **B+ → A- (Excellent)** ⬆️
+- Linter: **0 errors, 0 warnings** (maintained throughout)
+- Tests: **298 passing (100%)** ⬆️ (+60 tests from v0.2.0)
+- Coverage: **85.4%** ⬆️ (+6.9% from 78.5%)
+- All quality checks GREEN across all platforms
+
+**New Test Files**:
+- `example_test.go` - 17 testable examples (348 lines)
+- `internal/v5/data_tag_test.go` - Security validation tests (181 lines)
+- `options_test.go` - Functional options tests (247 lines)
+- `matfile_test.go` - MatFile convenience methods tests (138 lines)
+- `types/variable_test.go` - Type-safe getter tests (349 lines)
+
+**Documentation**:
+- `.claude/LINTER_RULES.md` - Comprehensive linter rules and patterns
+- `docs/dev/research/GO_API_BEST_PRACTICES_2025.md` - Modern Go API design guide
+- `docs/dev/PRODUCTION_READINESS_v0.3.0.md` - Production quality checklist
+- All examples now executable and verified
+
