+## [0.13.0] - 2026-01-21
+
+This release brings multiple fixes to both the transport and application-level protocols.
+
+Specifically, it enhances WebSocket stability by resolving AsyncWrite errors and ensuring that partial writes during the negotiation phase no longer trigger connection failures.
+
+At the same time, Bitswap client functionality is introduced, which makes this release semver breaking.
+
+### Added

 ## [0.12.3] - 2025-12-16
 
 This release improves the robustness of the multistream-select negotiation over WebRTC transport and fixes inbound bandwidth metering on substreams. It also enhances the dialing success rate by improving the transport dialing logic. Additionally, it re-exports CID's multihash to facilitate the construction of CID V1.
