+#### Important changes
+- **A stopgap release with a *TEMPORARY partial* fix for YouTube support**
+Some formats may still be unavailable, especially if cookies are passed to yt-dlp. The ***NEXT*** release, expected very soon, **will require an external JS runtime (e.g. Deno)** in order for YouTube downloads to work properly. [Read more](https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/issues/14404)
+- **The minimum *required* Python version has been raised to 3.10**
+Python 3.9 has reached its end-of-life as of October 2025, and yt-dlp has now removed support for it. [Read more](https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/issues/13858)
