 RELEASE NOTES
 -------------
 
+Version 4.2.0 (July 2026)
+* Added compatibility with Python 3.13 while retaining Python 3.9 / existing Splunk support.
+    * Replaced the `six` compatibility shim with the standard library `urllib.parse`.
+    * MaxMind database archive extraction uses the `data` filter on Python 3.12+ and falls back gracefully on older interpreters.
+* Dependencies pinned to versions compatible with both Python 3.9 and 3.13 (Splunk Python SDK 2.1.1, requests 2.32.5).
+
 Version 4.1.0 (April 2025)
 * Added support for downloading the MaxMind GeoIP2 database file (paid tier).
