 Next Release
 ============
 
+1.9.13 (14 January 2026)
+=========================
+
+This release adds support for custom fuse functions in driver based loads.
+
+Custom fuse functions can now be set as importable strings (fully qualified Python names).
+This is required for driver based loads and will be enforced for legacy loads in a future
+release.
+
+E.g.::
+   dc.load(..., fuse_func="my_module.my_fuser")
+
+is required for driver-based loads and is now preferred for legacy loads over::
+   from my_module import my_fuser
+   dc.load(..., fuse_func=my_fuser)
+
+Please start to update your code and notebooks accordingly.
+
+Notable Changes
+---------------
+
+* Support for custom fuse functions in driver based loads.
+* Compatibility with recent releases of GDAL and rasterio.
