 # Version changelog
 
+## Release v1.5.0
+
+### Major Changes
+
+### New Features and Improvements
+
+### Bug Fixes
+
+### Documentation
+
+- Updated dependency snippets to version 1.4.0 and corrected README and example
+  code for stream cleanup, recreation, unique local variables, and a single
+  durability barrier after queued ingestion. Clarified that acknowledgment
+  callbacks fire once per logical ingest submission, including one callback per
+  batch ingest call.
+- Documented that published JARs support Java 8 while source builds need JDK 11,
+  that macOS JNI artifacts are not in the current release set, that
+  `recoveryRetries` defaults to 4, and that `flush()` waits for durability rather
+  than callback completion.
+- Maven Central snippets no longer tell users to redeclare compile-scope
+  transitives (`protobuf-java`, `slf4j-api`). Stream-builder examples use
+  try-with-resources. GenerateProto docs no longer claim STRUCT support, JAR
+  examples use `zerobus-ingest-sdk` 1.4.0, and proto examples generate
+  `AirQualityProto.java` with `protoc` instead of treating it as checked in.
+  Example README snippets and the JSON/proto `SingleRecordExample` programs
+  queue records or batches and call `flush()` once instead of
+  `waitForOffset()` after a single ingest.
+- Built on Rust SDK 2.7.1. Wrapper-facing notes for that core are in
+  `rust/CHANGELOG.md` and https://github.com/databricks/zerobus-sdk/releases/tag/rust/v2.7.1.
+
+### Internal Changes
+
+- Bump `central-publishing-maven-plugin` from 0.5.0 to 0.11.0 so Maven Central
+  Portal upload stays green after a successful deploy.
