+py-libp2p v0.2.8 (2025-06-10)
+-----------------------------
+
+Breaking Changes
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+- The `NetStream.state` property is now async and requires `await`. Update any direct state access to use `await stream.state`. (`#300 <https://github.com/libp2p/py-libp2p/issues/300>`__)
+
+
+Bugfixes
+~~~~~~~~
+
+- Added proper state management and resource cleanup to `NetStream`, fixing memory leaks and improved error handling. (`#300 <https://github.com/libp2p/py-libp2p/issues/300>`__)
+
+
+Improved Documentation
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+- Updated examples to automatically use random port, when `-p` flag is not given (`#661 <https://github.com/libp2p/py-libp2p/issues/661>`__)
+
+
+Features
+~~~~~~~~
+
+- Allow passing `listen_addrs` to `new_swarm` to customize swarm listening behavior. (`#616 <https://github.com/libp2p/py-libp2p/issues/616>`__)
+- Feature: Support for sending `ls` command over `multistream-select` to list supported protocols from remote peer.
+  This allows inspecting which protocol handlers a peer supports at runtime. (`#622 <https://github.com/libp2p/py-libp2p/issues/622>`__)
+- implement AsyncContextManager for IMuxedStream to support async with (`#629 <https://github.com/libp2p/py-libp2p/issues/629>`__)
+- feat: add method to compute time since last message published by a peer and remove fanout peers based on ttl. (`#636 <https://github.com/libp2p/py-libp2p/issues/636>`__)
+- implement blacklist management for `pubsub.Pubsub` with methods to get, add, remove, check, and clear blacklisted peer IDs. (`#641 <https://github.com/libp2p/py-libp2p/issues/641>`__)
+- fix: remove expired peers from peerstore based on TTL (`#650 <https://github.com/libp2p/py-libp2p/issues/650>`__)
+
+
+Internal Changes - for py-libp2p Contributors
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+- Modernizes several aspects of the project, notably using ``pyproject.toml`` for project info instead of ``setup.py``, using ``ruff`` to replace several separate linting tools, and ``pyrefly`` in addition to ``mypy`` for typing. Also includes changes across the codebase to conform to new linting and typing rules. (`#618 <https://github.com/libp2p/py-libp2p/issues/618>`__)
+
+
+Removals
+~~~~~~~~
+
+- Removes support for python 3.9 and updates some code conventions, notably using ``|`` operator in typing instead of ``Optional`` or ``Union`` (`#618 <https://github.com/libp2p/py-libp2p/issues/618>`__)
