 ### 1.4.0
 
-- **Breaking change**: `UrlStore()` parameter `trailing` renamed to `trailing_slash`, for consistency with `check_url()`, `normalize_url()` and `extract_links()`
-- drop support for Python 3.8 and 3.9: Python 3.10 or higher is now required (the last version to support 3.8/3.9 is `courlan==1.3.2`)
-- `filter_links()` and `load_store()` are now exported at the top level (e.g. `from courlan import filter_links`)
-- fix `is_known_link()`: http/https protocol variants of a link are now recognized again
-- `redirection_test()`: more robust error handling, support for urllib3 1.26+ and 2.x
-- more robust `FIND_LINKS_REGEX` expression (#130)
-- robustness: `UrlStore(verbose=True)` no longer fails when created outside the main thread, harden CLI file handling
-- maintenance: code hardening, modernized type hints and more tests (#131); switch linting and formatting to `ruff`; update CI pipeline and contributing guidelines (#124, #125, #127)
