 # Changelog
 
+## 0.4.1
+
+- Fix RuboCop Style/StringLiterals violations in gemspec
+
+## 0.4.0
+
+### Added
+
+- Custom error hierarchy: `Error`, `TimeoutError`, `NetworkError`, `HttpError` for structured error handling
+- Streaming responses via block parameter — yield body chunks instead of buffering entire response
+- Multipart form data support via `multipart:` parameter for file uploads
+- Per-phase timeouts: `open_timeout:`, `read_timeout:`, `write_timeout:` on constructor and per-request
+- Response validation via `expect:` option — auto-raises `HttpError` if status not in expected list
+
+### Changed
+
+- Network errors (`Errno::ECONNREFUSED`, `Errno::ECONNRESET`, etc.) now raise `NetworkError` instead of raw system errors
+- Timeout errors (`Net::OpenTimeout`, `Net::ReadTimeout`) now raise `TimeoutError` instead of raw Net errors
+
 ## 0.3.3

+### File uploads (multipart)
+
+Upload files using multipart/form-data:
+
+```ruby
+response = client.post("/upload", multipart: {
+  file: File.open("photo.jpg"),
+  name: "vacation"
+})
+# Content-Type: multipart/form-data is set automatically with boundary
+```
+
+Both `File` objects and string values are supported. Files are sent with their filename and `application/octet-stream` content type.
+
+### Streaming responses
+
+Stream large responses without buffering the entire body in memory:
+
+```ruby
+File.open("download.bin", "wb") do |file|
+  client.get("/large-file") do |chunk|
+    file.write(chunk)
+  end
+end
+# Returns a Response with body: nil and streaming?: true
+```
+
+Streaming works with all HTTP methods that accept a block:

+```ruby

+  output.write(chunk)

+### Error handling
+
+All errors inherit from `Philiprehberger::HttpClient::Error`:
+
+```ruby
+begin
+  client.get("/api/data")
+rescue Philiprehberger::HttpClient::TimeoutError => e
+  puts "Request timed out: #{e.message}"
+rescue Philiprehberger::HttpClient::NetworkError => e
+  puts "Network error: #{e.message}"
+rescue Philiprehberger::HttpClient::HttpError => e
+  puts "HTTP error: #{e.response.status}"
+rescue Philiprehberger::HttpClient::Error => e
+  puts "Client error: #{e.message}"
+end
+```
+
+- `TimeoutError` — raised on `Net::OpenTimeout` and `Net::ReadTimeout`
+- `NetworkError` — raised on connection refused, reset, host unreachable, etc.
+- `HttpError` — raised when response status doesn't match `expect:` list (includes `.response`)
+
+### Response validation
+
+Auto-raise `HttpError` if the response status doesn't match expected values:
+
+```ruby
+# Raises HttpError if status is not 200
+response = client.get("/api/users", expect: [200])
+
+# Accept multiple status codes
+response = client.post("/api/users", json: data, expect: [200, 201])
+```
+
+### Timeouts
+
+Set a general timeout or per-phase timeouts:
+
+```ruby
+# General timeout (applies to open, read, and write)
+client = Philiprehberger::HttpClient.new(base_url: "https://api.example.com", timeout: 30)
+
+# Per-phase timeouts (override general timeout)
