+py-libp2p v0.2.7 (2025-05-22)
+-----------------------------
+
+Bugfixes
+~~~~~~~~
+
+- ``handler()`` inside ``TCPListener.listen()`` does not catch exceptions thrown during handshaking steps (from ``Sawrm``).
+  These innocuous exceptions will become fatal and crash the process if not handled. (`#586 <https://github.com/libp2p/py-libp2p/issues/586>`__)
+
+
+Improved Documentation
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+- Fixed the `contributing.rst` file to include the Libp2p Discord Server Link. (`#592 <https://github.com/libp2p/py-libp2p/issues/592>`__)
+
+
+Features
+~~~~~~~~
+
+- Added support for the Yamux stream multiplexer (/yamux/1.0.0) as the preferred option, retaining Mplex (/mplex/6.7.0) for backward compatibility. (`#534 <https://github.com/libp2p/py-libp2p/issues/534>`__)
+- added ``direct peers`` as part of gossipsub v1.1 upgrade. (`#594 <https://github.com/libp2p/py-libp2p/issues/594>`__)
+- Feature: Logging in py-libp2p via env vars (`#608 <https://github.com/libp2p/py-libp2p/issues/608>`__)
+- Added support for multiple-error formatting in the `MultiError` class. (`#613 <https://github.com/libp2p/py-libp2p/issues/613>`__)
