 ## Version history
 
+### v30.4.0
+
+- 🌱 Upgraded ExifTool to version [13.34](https://exiftool.org/history.html#13.34).
+
+- 📦 Upgrade to batch-cluster [v15.0.1](https://github.com/photostructure/batch-cluster.js/releases/tag/v15.0.0) which includes a macos and linux /proc permission workaround, and is now built with OIDC, so it includes https://www.npmjs.com/package/batch-cluster#user-content-provenance
+
+- 📦 Automated publishing (like batch-cluster!), so https://www.npmjs.com/package/exiftool-vendored#user-content-provenance will be a thing
+
+### v30.3.0
+
+- 🌱 Upgraded ExifTool to version [13.31](https://exiftool.org/history.html#13.31).
+
+- ✨ Added **Disposable interface support** for automatic resource cleanup:
+  - `ExifTool` now implements both `Disposable` and `AsyncDisposable` interfaces
+  - Use `using et = new ExifTool()` for automatic synchronous cleanup (TypeScript 5.2+)
+  - Use `await using et = new ExifTool()` for automatic asynchronous cleanup
+  - Synchronous disposal initiates graceful cleanup with configurable timeout fallback
+  - Asynchronous disposal provides robust cleanup with timeout protection
+  - New options: `disposalTimeoutMs` (default: 1000ms) and `asyncDisposalTimeoutMs` (default: 5000ms)
+  - Comprehensive error handling ensures disposal never throws or hangs
+  - Maintains backward compatibility - existing `.end()` method unchanged
+
+- ✨ **Enhanced JSDoc annotations** for Tags interface with emoji-based visual hierarchy:
+  - Replaced cryptic star/checkmark system with ~~even more cryptic~~ semantic JSDoc tags
+  - Added 🔥/🧊 emojis to indicate mainstream consumer vs specialized devices
+  - Format: `@frequency 🔥 ★★★★ (85%)` combines device type, visual rating, and exact percentage
+  - Consolidated @mainstream into @frequency tag for cleaner, more compact documentation
+  - Added @groups tag showing all metadata groups where each tag appears (e.g., "EXIF, MakerNotes")
+  - Generated `data/TagMetadata.json` with programmatic access to frequency, mainstream flags, and groups
+  - Custom TypeDoc tags defined in tsdoc.json for proper tooling support
+  - Star ratings maintain same thresholds: ★★★★ (>50%), ★★★☆ (>20%), ★★☆☆ (>10%), ★☆☆☆ (>5%), ☆☆☆☆ (≤5%)

 ### v30.2.0
 
 - ✨ Enhanced `StrEnum` with iterator support and JSDoc
@@ -36,26 +68,22 @@ vendored versions of ExifTool match the version that they vendor.
 - 🐞 Fixed `ExifToolVersion` to be a `string`. Prior versions used `exiftool`'s JSON representation, which rendered a numeric float. This caused versions like "12.3" and "12.30" to appear identical. We now preserve the exact version string to enable proper version comparisons.
 
 - ✨ Added **partial date support** for `ExifDate` class. XMP date tags (like `XMP:CreateDate`, `XMP:MetadataDate`) now support:
-
   - **Year-only dates**: `1980` (numeric) or `"1980"` (string)
   - **Year-month dates**: `"1980:08"` (EXIF format) or `"1980-08"` (ISO format)
   - **Full dates**: `"1980:08:13"` (unchanged)
 
 - ✨ Enhanced `ExifDate` with type-safe predicates:
-
   - `isYearOnly()`: Returns `true` for year-only dates with type narrowing
   - `isYearMonth()`: Returns `true` for year-month dates with type narrowing
   - `isFullDate()`: Returns `true` for complete dates with type narrowing
   - `isPartial()`: Returns `true` for year-only or year-month dates
 
 - ✨ Added compositional TypeScript interfaces:
-
   - `ExifDateYearOnly`: `{year: number}`
   - `ExifDateYearMonth extends ExifDateYearOnly`: `{year: number, month: number}`
   - `ExifDateFull extends ExifDateYearMonth`: `{year: number, month: number, day: number}`
 
 - ✨ Enhanced `WriteTags` interface with group-prefixed tag support:
-
   - `"XMP:CreateDate"`, `"XMP:MetadataDate"`, etc. accept partial dates
   - `"EXIF:CreateDate"`, etc. require full dates (type-safe distinction)
