 # Change Log
 
+## 6.2.1 - 2026-10-10
+
+### Added
+
+- Add the opt-in `strict` parser option to require complete files and records,
+  valid definitions, and no trailing bytes in every parsing API. Checksum
+  validation remains controlled by `force`.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- Apply the same recovery policy to `parseFilesAsync()`, `parseAsync()`, and
+  callback parsing. The all-file API now accepts missing CRC bytes with
+  `force: true` when `strict` is disabled, and ignores a non-FIT suffix.
+- Keep existing decoder behavior, recovery, and output when `strict` is not
+  requested, including handling of malformed records and definitions.
+- Apply additional definition and record bounds checks only in strict mode.
+
+### Compatibility
+
+- `force` still defaults to `true`; `strict` defaults to `false`.
+- `strict: true` requires exactly one file for `parseAsync()` and callback
+  parsing, or complete concatenated files for `parseFilesAsync()`.
+- Temperature mappings and unit conversions are unchanged.

+file returns a one-element array. All parsing APIs share the same `force` and
+`strict` options. By default, complete fields in a partial final record can be
+recovered, and a non-FIT suffix after parsed files is ignored. With `force: true`,
+missing CRC bytes are also accepted, including when the next FIT header starts
+at the declared data boundary or after one CRC byte. The parser never scans
+record payloads for guessed file boundaries.
+
+Use `{ force: false, strict: true }` to require complete files and records,
+valid checksums, and no trailing bytes. `{ force: true, strict: true }` enforces
+the same structure while tolerating known checksum failures. Any file that
+cannot be parsed rejects the whole call with an `Error`. Empty input, invalid
+headers, and declared data beyond the available input
+remain errors in every mode.
+
+The existing `parseAsync()` and callback APIs return the first FIT file only.
+With `strict: true`, they require exactly one file; use `parseFilesAsync()` for
+strict validation of concatenated input.
