+## [5.28.2.0](https://github.com/neo4j/neo4j-python-driver-rust-ext/tree/5.28.2.0) (2025-07-30)
+***
+### **⭐️ New Features**
+* Target driver version 5.28.2 ([#54]).
+
+[#54]: https://github.com/neo4j/neo4j-python-driver-rust-ext/pull/54
+
+### **👏️ Improvements**
+* Update dependencies ([#32]):  
+  * ⚠️ Bump minimum supported Rust version (MSRV) from `1.67` to `1.77`.
+  * Security fix by bumping PyO3 (Rust binding for Python) from `0.22.4` to `0.24.2`.
+  * Update `maturin` (Python package builder) from `~= 1.6.0` to `~= 1.8.3`.
+* Harden `Structure` class against memory leak ([#53]).  
+  The extensions' implementation of packstream `Structure` could leak memory when being part of a reference cycle.
+  In reality this doesn't matter because the driver never constructs cyclic `Structure`s.
+  Every packstream value is a tree in terms of references (both directions: packing and unpacking).  
+  This change is meant to harden the extensions against introducing effective memory leaks in the driver should the driver's usage of `Structure` change in the future.

+  * Update `maturin` (Python package builder) from `~= 1.8.3` to `~= 1.9.0`.
+* Update `maturin` (Python package builder) from `~= 1.9.0` to `~= 1.9.1` ([#54]).
