-# 0.21.0: Add specs for options, trace, and patch verbs.
+## 20260522
+
+0.22.0: Convert specs from RSpec to Minitest.
+
+1. ~ spec/ → test/: All spec files moved to test/ and rewritten in Minitest spec style with `let`, double-quoted descriptions, and `_(...).must_*` expectations. On the TODO since at least 0.17.0; completed before 1.0 to ship into stability on the test framework that's here to stay.
+2. ~ spec/spec_helper.rb → test/helper.rb: Rewrite for Minitest; preserve the webmock http_rb_adapter collision workaround. + MockResponse Struct used as a header-stand-in in HTTP.retry_after specs in place of instance_double(Net::HTTPResponse).
+3. ~ Rakefile: Use Rake::TestTask instead of RSpec::Core::RakeTask.
+4. ~ http.rb.gemspec: -rspec; +minitest; +minitest-mock (minitest 6 extracted Mock/stub into a separate gem); files glob /spec/test/.
+5. ~ HTTP.request: /response.header['location']/response['location']/ — Net::HTTPResponse#header has been deprecated for years; the documented replacement is #[]. Surfaced by Minitest's default reporter showing stderr warnings inline where RSpec was hiding them.
+6. ~ TODO: Annotate "Convert specs from RSpec to Minitest" as (Done as of 0.22.0).
+7. ~ HTTP::VERSION: /0.21.0/0.22.0/
+8. ~ CHANGELOG: + 0.22.0 entry
+9. ~ CHANGELOG: Reformat all entries with Markdown-style headings — `## YYYYMMDD` date headings, version line no longer `#`-prefixed.
+10. ~ http.rb.gemspec: Pin minitest to `~> 6.0` to lock the major and avoid bundler quietly resolving to 5.x off a stale lockfile.
+

+
+0.21.0: Add specs for options, trace, and patch verbs.

+
 1. + lib/HTTP/RETRY.rb: Retry helpers (with_retries, backoff_delay, retry_after) and constants (HTTP::RETRY::EXCEPTIONS, STATUS_CODES, VERBS).
 2. ~ HTTP.request: Retry on transient network exceptions and retry-worthy HTTP status codes (429, 502, 503, 504) when enabled. Exponential backoff with jitter. Honours Retry-After when present. Disabled by default; opt in via the retries option. Configurable via new options: retries (default 0), retry_delay (default 1.0), retry_status_codes, retry_exceptions, retry_verbs. Only idempotent verbs (get, head, options, put, delete, trace) retry by default; opt in to POST/PATCH retries via retry_verbs.
