-## 1.4.0-beta.16 (2025-09-26)
+## 1.4.0-beta.3 (2025-09-18)
 
 ### Added
-- `Air Purifier`, `Air Quality Sensor`, `Fanv2`, `GarageDoorOpener`, `HeaterCooler`, `LightSensor`, and `Valve`
-- Broker, username, and password can be set via environment variables ([documentation](https://github.com/mpatfield/homebridge-easy-mqtt#environment-variables))
-- Publish arbitrary MQTT messages on connect ([documentation] (https://github.com/mpatfield/homebridge-easy-mqtt#mqtt-onconnect))
-- Traduceri în limba română. Mulțumesc, [@rursache](https://github.com/sponsors/rursache)!
+- Support for HeaterCooler
+- Support for LightSensor
 
 ### Changed
-- ⚠️ All accessory states are now saved across plugin/Homebridge restarts
-    - If you want to keep the old behavior, select the `Reset on Restart` option for each accessory you want to reset
-- MQTT `options` JSON can now also include publish options, such as `retain`, in addition to client options
 - Optimized MQTT connections by sharing across multiple accessories when possible
-    - Previously, every accessory always had its own connection
-- Better field validation in config UI (Thank you, [@justjam2013](https://github.com/sponsors/justjam2013) for teaching me this!)
+    - Previously, every accessory had its own connection
