 ## Unreleased
 
+## 0.3.2 — 2026-08-21
+
+- `recall` adds opt-in recency boosting, `tags_all` AND filtering, and
+  `rank=blended` reranking while preserving raw cosine scores and default
+  cosine ordering.
+- `list` adds `tags_all` filtering and offset pagination with `has_more` metadata.
+- README documents the MiniLM score thresholds and new recall/list options.
+
 ## 0.3.1 — 2026-08-21
 
 - Read-side conflict visibility: `recall` hits can include `conflict: true`
