+# v2.1.0
+
+_Released: 2026-06-12_
+
+## Added
+- **`net8.0` target framework.** The library now ships `netstandard2.0`, `net8.0`
+  and `net10.0` assets. .NET 8 (LTS) consumers previously resolved the
+  `netstandard2.0` asset, which excludes ASP.NET Core instrumentation and the
+  `ExcludedPaths` request filter; they now get full feature parity with
+  `net10.0`. .NET 9 apps resolve the `net8.0` asset.
