 # Change Log
 
+## 26.0.0
+
+* Breaking: Renamed `Theme` enum to `BrowserTheme`, changing `avatars.getScreenshot()` `theme` param type.
+* Breaking: Made `presences` `list`/`get`/`upsert`/`update` non-generic and removed `Models.DefaultPresence`.
+* Added: Email metadata fields to `User` (`emailCanonical`, `emailIsFree`, `emailIsDisposable`, `emailIsCorporate`, `emailIsCanonical`).
+* Added: `Membership.userAccessedAt` and `Presence.metadata` fields.
+* Fixed: Removed `Client.setKey()` and `Client.setForwardedUserAgent()` methods that were exposed on the client SDK by mistake.
+* Fixed: `toString()` on response objects now returns valid JSON via `JSONbig.stringify`, preserving large integers.
+* Updated: Requests now send an explicit `accept` header matching each endpoint's response type.
+
 ## 25.1.1
 
 * Fixed: Removed `Advisor` service and `Insight`, `InsightCTA`, `InsightList`, `Report`, `ReportList` models (admin-only endpoints, not intended for client SDKs)
