-## What's new in v0.12.0
+## What's new in v0.13.0
 
-- **Complex Data Type Support:** Added native support for DATETIMEOFFSET and UNIQUEIDENTIFIER data types with full round-trip handling, enabling seamless integration with Python's timezone-aware `datetime` objects and `uuid.UUID` types.
-- **Support for monetary or currency values data types:** Extended MONEY and SMALLMONEY support to `executemany` operations with proper NULL handling and decimal conversion for improved bulk financial data processing.
-- **Improved Database Metadata API:** Added `getinfo()` method with enhanced ODBC metadata retrieval, allowing users to query driver/data source information using ODBC info types.
-- **Data Processing Optimizations:** Removed aggressive datetime parsing to prevent incorrect type conversions and improve data integrity across diverse datetime formats and string data.
+- **Enhanced Batch Operations:** Complete support for UNIQUEIDENTIFIER and DATETIMEOFFSET in `executemany()` operations with automatic type inference, enabling efficient bulk inserts of complex data types including UUIDs and timezone-aware datetimes.
+- **Streaming Large Values:** Robust handling of large objects (NVARCHAR/VARCHAR/VARBINARY(MAX)) in `executemany()` with automatic Data-At-Execution detection and fallback, supporting streaming inserts and fetches for massive datasets.
+- **Improved Cursor Reliability:** Enhanced `cursor.rowcount` accuracy across all fetch operations, including proper handling of empty result sets and consistent behavior for SELECT, INSERT, and UPDATE operations.
+- **Critical Stability Fixes:** Resolved memory leaks with secure token buffer handling, fixed resource cleanup to prevent segmentation faults during Python shutdown, and corrected type inference bugs in batch operations.
