+### Fixed
+- Prevent panic in report template when dump fails, allowing test reports to render gracefully on timeouts. [#253](https://github.com/ipfs/gateway-conformance/pull/253)
+
+### Changed
+- Use official ipfs org for `munge.js` instead of fork. [d3f6a67](https://github.com/ipfs/gateway-conformance/commit/d3f6a679d5f3e7cc67e5c801deaf8f36c9dc4348)

 ## [0.8.3] - 2025-09-01
 ### Changed
 - Added temporary support for legacy 200 with X-Stream-Error header behavior when missing blocks are detected during CAR streaming. This ensures compatibility with current boxo/gateway implementations that defer header setting. This third option will be removed once implementations ship with [ipfs/boxo#1019](https://github.com/ipfs/boxo/pull/1019). [#245](https://github.com/ipfs/gateway-conformance/pull/245)
