 # Changelog
 
+## 0.4.2
+
+### Patch Changes
+
+- [`c165563`](https://github.com/leejpsd/nextjs-cache-handler/commit/c16556385a7fb3e8e95dfddc9015dde7a887311a) Thanks [@leejpsd](https://github.com/leejpsd)! - Align `'use cache'` tag invalidation exactly with upstream semantics.
+
+  **Fixed: hard/soft polarity was inverted for `updateTags` without durations.** Next.js calls `updateTags(tags)` with NO durations for hard invalidation (`updateTag()` server actions, single-arg `revalidateTag()`) and `updateTags(tags, { expire })` for profile-based soft invalidation (`revalidateTag(tag, "max")`). The handler treated no-durations as soft, so `updateTag()` — which must guarantee read-your-own-writes — could serve stale content. No-durations is now hard.
+
+  Also in this release:
+  - Soft invalidations now honor their hard deadline: entries serve stale until `durations.expire` seconds after the invalidation, then miss (`Infinity` = never). Tag markers store a `"<stale>|<expired>"` pair; 0.4.1 readers `parseInt` the same marker safely, and legacy bare-number markers are treated as hard-at-timestamp, so mixed-version fleets stay correct in both directions.
+  - Tag-stale entries are served with the truthful timestamp and `revalidate: -1` (the built-in handler's refresh signal) instead of a backdated timestamp, which could cross the `expire` boundary on tight profiles and confused the implicit-tags discard check.
+  - Soft invalidations serve-while-revalidating regardless of `staleWhileRevalidate` (that option now governs time-based staleness only, matching the upstream contract).
+  - `getExpiration` reports only the hard deadline, mirroring the built-in handler.
+  - `expire: 0` entries are no longer persisted in production (mirrors Next 16.3's built-in handler; they are regenerated on every read anyway).
+  - Verified end-to-end against Next.js 16.3.0 stable (both interfaces; build, serve, hard/soft invalidation, ISR SWR).
+
+## 0.4.1
+
+### Patch Changes
+
+- [`8555fbe`](https://github.com/leejpsd/nextjs-cache-handler/commit/8555fbeb10c8681f101f13157a078b0a1e3fcea5) Thanks [@leejpsd](https://github.com/leejpsd)! - Fix ISR record serialization writing Buffers as JSON byte arrays instead of base64.
+
+  `Buffer.prototype.toJSON` runs before a `JSON.stringify` replacer sees the value, so the base64 envelope branch was unreachable and every Buffer field (rendered HTML, RSC payloads, PPR segment data) was stored as `{ type: "Buffer", data: [...] }` — roughly 2.8x larger than base64. The replacer now reads the pre-`toJSON` original via `this[key]`.
+
+  No migration needed: the reviver has always accepted both shapes, so records written by either version deserialize correctly in both directions.

 ## Compatibility
 
+> **Upgrading to Next.js 16.3?** Two behavioral notes: (1) 16.3 changed the
+> internal fetch-cache key format (`v3` → `v4`), so 16.2-era fetch entries
+> become unreadable orphans — deploy with a new `DEPLOYMENT_VERSION` and let
+> the old namespace age out via TTL. (2) An ISR entry found past its
+> `cacheLife` **expire** now triggers a blocking revalidation instead of
+> serving stale (matching `'use cache'` semantics); within
+> `revalidate..expire` stale-while-revalidate is unchanged.
