Code Review

This pull request provides a comprehensive update to the CHANGELOG.md file, replacing the previous content with a well-structured and detailed history of releases. The new format is clear and follows good practices for changelogs. I have one suggestion to fix a minor character encoding issue.

[gemini-code-assist]

There appears to be a character encoding issue in the dependency update list. The → character is not rendering as an arrow. Please replace it with -> for clarity and consistency across the document.
