+# Changelog
+
+All notable changes to this project are documented in this file.
+
+The format is based on [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.1.0/),
+and this project adheres to [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.html).
+
+## [0.1.5] - 2026-11-02
+
+### Changed
+- Replace the `Proxy` used for object `SharedRef`s with hard-baked
+  `Object.defineProperty` accessor getters/setters, so property reads skip the
+  Proxy trap on the hot path (~3× faster object property reads). Methods
+  (`read`/`write`/`update`/`key`/`buffer`) move to the prototype so the data
+  properties are the only own properties, keeping the JIT shape monomorphic
+  (~2× faster than having the methods as own properties). Arrays, primitives,
+  and unknown shapes still use the Proxy. Fixed shape is enforced via
+  `Object.preventExtensions` plus `configurable: false` accessors.
+- Optimize `copyValue` (the `read()` copy) with `Object.assign` + a `for...in`
+  array pass (~3.5× faster object `read()`).
+- Pass the initial value into `createSharedRef` so the object shape can be
+  baked at creation time.
+
+## [0.1.4] - 2026-11-01
+
+### Changed
+- Declare `"sideEffects": false` in `package.json` so bundlers can tree-shake
+  the library (the modules have no side effects on import).
+- Remove the `typescript` peer dependency. The library ships as TypeScript
+  source and runs natively in Bun; `bun check` is Bun's own type checker and
+  does not require the `typescript` package.
+
+## [0.1.3] - 2026-11-01
+
+### Added
+- Real-world benchmark (`bench/real-world/`) comparing shared memory against
+  live SQLite, MySQL, and Redis via an Elysia mini API.
+- Redis as a fourth benchmark methodology (in Docker).
+- Unix-socket transport for MySQL/Redis (Linux only; skipped on macOS).
+- Benchmark results written to `benchlogs/<timestamp>-<commit>-real.md`.
+- Real-world benchmark results and methodology documented in the README.
+
+### Changed
+- MySQL/Redis connections are established before the benchmark (not per
+  request) so connection setup is not measured as overhead.
+- The benchmark always runs both TCP and Unix-socket transports; the socket
+  run is skipped on macOS without error.
+
+## [0.1.2] - 2026-11-01
+
+### Changed
+- Unref the maintenance timer so the process can exit naturally.
+- Document `init()` as the first call and how to configure memory via `init()`.
+
+## [0.1.1] - 2026-11-01
+
+### Added
+- Repository metadata and npm publishing preparation.
+- README with package name and install instructions.
+
+### Changed
+- Optimize the read hot path: direct cache on the proxy target.
+- Optimize `Mutex`: skip notify when no worker is waiting.
+- Start the refcount coordinator/tracker automatically in `init()`.
+- Document the minimum Bun version (`>= 1.4.0`).
+
+## [0.1.0] - 2026-11-01
+
+### Added
+- Initial release: `Shared<T>` Proxy-based API over a 4-buffer shared memory
+  architecture (Index Table, DataTable, append-only StringTable, ArrayTable).
+- Atomics-based synchronization (`Mutex`, `Notifier`).
+- Per-key read cache with cross-worker invalidation and offset cache for
+  object property reads.
+- O(1) in-place `push`/`pop` with capacity-based array growth.
+- Benchmarks for all data types vs native.
