+## [0.2.0] - 2026-03-18
+
+### Fixed
+- Critical: `PageHeader.num_pages` changed from `u16` to `u32` to support >256MB allocations
+- Added missing `posix_memalign` C ABI export (was causing heap corruption)
+
+### Added
+- Stress test suite: tail latency, massive allocations, corruption tests
+- GitHub Actions workflow with full benchmark suite
+- Weekly scheduled benchmark runs with GitHub Summary output
+
+### Performance
+- Tail latency P99: 116ns (comparable to glibc's 103ns)
+- Massive allocations: 2GB contiguous blocks with 2MB alignment supported
+- Corruption test: 100,000+ operations without heap corruption
