 # Changelog
 
+## 4.0.0
+
+FullFlow 4.0.0 adds local linearization of coupled nonlinear network models for sensitivity analysis and control-system development.
+
+### Linearization
+
+* Added `SteadyState.linearize()` and `Transient.linearize()` as native solver methods, without import-time class modification.
+* Added continuous-time state-space linearization in physical conserved-state coordinates, returning `A`, `B`, `C`, and `D`, baseline vectors, variable labels, and operating-point metadata.
+
+### Limitations
+
+* Models are local, continuous-time, and valid only within a fixed operating mode.
+* The implementation does not include event-time sensitivities, automatic state-space simulation, model reduction, or universal protection against side effects in arbitrary custom components.
+
+## 3.0.0
+
+FullFlow 3.0.0 focuses on solver performance, transient robustness, consistent
+examples, and concise user-facing documentation.
+
+### Solver performance
+
+* Added a safeguarded modified-Newton transient solver with numerical Jacobian
+  construction, Broyden updates, backtracking, and automatic SciPy fallback.
+* Added guarded Jacobian reuse between compatible transient timesteps.
+* Added accepted-step prediction and validation to improve transient initial
+  guesses without reusing stale state or control information.
+* Reduced repeated state discovery, allocation, conversion, and component
+  evaluation work in steady-state and transient residual calculations.
+* Added compact state snapshots and cached runtime metadata with network-version
+  invalidation.
+* Improved invalid-trial handling so temporary property-evaluation failures can
+  be rejected without immediately terminating a nonlinear solve.
