+### Changed
 
 - The `--bunch-size` option is now deprected and will be replaced with option `--page-size` some releases later.
+- Raised the minimum supported Python to `>=3.11,<3.15` (dropped Python 3.10, added 3.14).
+- Bumped `audible` to `>=0.11.0` and `httpx` to `>=0.27.2,<0.29`.
+- Raised minimum versions for `aiofiles`, `click`, `Pillow`, `tabulate`, `tqdm`, `questionary`, `packaging`, and `colorama`.

+**⚡ Faster crypto (optional)**
+
+Install the optional `cryptography` extra to enable audible's Rust-accelerated
+crypto backend. It noticeably speeds up cryptographic operations such as fetching
+activation bytes and decrypting AAX/AAXC files:
+
+```shell
+pip install "audible-cli[cryptography]"
+# or, when installed as a tool:
+uv tool install "audible-cli[cryptography]"
+```
+
+Without the extra, audible-cli still works using the pure-Python fallback.

 ## 🖥️ Standalone executables
 
 Don’t want to install Python?  
 Prebuilt binaries are available on the [releases page](https://github.com/mkb79/audible-cli/releases).
 
+> ℹ️ The prebuilt binaries already **bundle the Rust-accelerated `cryptography` backend** (statically linked, no extra setup) — so cryptographic operations are fast out of the box.
