v0.13.0

tl;dr

Breaking changes

• Zero-copy binary output: response bodies, stream chunks, WebSocket binary fields, and peer certificates now return read-only memoryview objects instead of bytes, avoiding an extra copy into Python-owned bytes. Use bytes(view) or view.tobytes() when a bytes object is required.

Highlights

• Added Chrome 154 emulation.
• Added configurable Runtime support for async and blocking clients, including worker counts and work-stealing settings.
• Improved async and blocking request and streaming performance.
• Added async with support for request results. Response context managers now preserve connection reuse after the body is fully consumed.
• Improved cancellation, upload error propagation, resource cleanup, and interpreter shutdown handling.
• Added PyPy 3.11 wheels and expanded HTTPS benchmarks with separate blocking MT/ST results.
