+**httpcheck v1.5.1 has been released! 🎉**
+
+✅ **v1.5.1 (security patch):** installing httpcheck now also requires patched
+versions of `urllib3`, `certifi`, `idna`, `anyio` and `h11`, so an install into
+an existing environment cannot keep vulnerable copies. No behaviour changes.
+
+✅ **NEW in v1.5.0:**
+- **Configuration Files**: User-defined defaults in `~/.httpcheck.toml` and
+  `./.httpcheck.toml` (the project file overrides the user file); CLI flags always
+  take precedence
+- **Async I/O** (experimental): `--async` uses an httpx-based concurrent path. In
+  the [benchmark against v1.4.3](docs/development/ASYNC_BENCHMARK.md) it is not
+  faster than `-f` at the same `--workers`; for speed, raise `-f --workers`
+- **Python 3.10+**: v1.5.0 drops Python 3.9 support (pip on Python 3.9 keeps
+  installing 1.4.3); Python 3.13 and 3.14 are tested in CI
+- **Retry fix**: with `--follow-redirects http-only` or `https-only`, retries now
