+Distributed rendering on AWS Lambda and Google Cloud Run now runs only on Plan v2. This is a breaking release: the Plan v1 transport, the `planProtocol` option and the Plan v1 event and result types are removed. A preview video that runs short of data now holds instead of looping snippets.
+
+## Upgrading from 0.8
+
+- **Upgrade the SDK and the deployment together.** Redeploy your Lambda stack or Cloud Run service from 0.9.0 when you move your app to the 0.9.0 SDK.
+- **Drop `planProtocol`** from `renderToLambda` and `renderToCloudRun` calls. Leaving it out, or passing `"v2"`, works as before. Passing `"v1"` now throws.
+- **Old Plan v1 events are rejected.** A handler or service on 0.9.0 answers a v1 payload with `PLAN_PROTOCOL_UNSUPPORTED` before doing any render work.
+- **Removed producer exports:** `plan`, `createPlanV2FromV1`, `publishPlanV2FromV1`, `readPlanProtocol`, `readPlanProtocolV1`, `PLAN_PROTOCOL_V1`, `CURRENT_PLAN_PROTOCOL`, `PLAN_SCHEMA_VERSION`, `PLAN_HASH_SCHEMA`, `PLAN_ARTIFACT_LAYOUT`, `DISTRIBUTED_RENDER_CAPABILITIES` and `getDistributedRenderCapabilities`, plus their types. Use `planV2`, `planV2WithPublisher` or `publishPlanV2FromExecutionPlan` instead.
+- **`PLAN_TOO_LARGE` and `PlanTooLargeError` are no longer exported** from `@hyperframes/producer/distributed`, but Plan v2 still throws that error when a plan is over its size limit. Check `err.code === "PLAN_TOO_LARGE"` instead of importing either name.
+- **Removed adapter types:** `LambdaPlanProtocol`, `PlanV1LambdaResult`, `CloudRunPlanProtocol`, `PlanV1ResultBody`, and `PlanV1Event`, `RenderChunkV1Event` and `AssembleV1Event` from both adapter packages.
+
+## Breaking Changes
+
+- **Producer, AWS Lambda, Cloud Run:** Remove the Plan v1 distributed transport ([7f48a6894](https://github.com/heygen-com/hyperframes/commit/7f48a6894c42426ae9bc8a913879d4cd0fb72166), [#6970](https://github.com/heygen-com/hyperframes/pull/6970)).
+
+## Fixes
+
+- **Core:** A preview video short of data holds the film instead of looping snippets ([8519f2836](https://github.com/heygen-com/hyperframes/commit/8519f2836358499f36d3ba79ca3c16bc1318a97f), [#6974](https://github.com/heygen-com/hyperframes/pull/6974)).
+- **CLI:** Diff warns when yours runs at another frame rate ([99223d993](https://github.com/heygen-com/hyperframes/commit/99223d993cf5ddf78f27ab87fc9b7009d79407a3), [#6976](https://github.com/heygen-com/hyperframes/pull/6976)).
