Docs and tests all updated true,
A changelog line, a fix in sight,
Version strings aligned and tight,
I nibble bugs and dance with delight.

3-9: Release entry structure is sound.

The v1.4.2 entry follows the established format of prior release entries (compare with v1.4.1 at lines 11–20), with a version tag link, full changelog comparison link, and "What's Changed" section. Once the URL formatting is corrected, this release notes entry will be complete.

⚠️ Potential issue | 🟡 Minor

Convert bare URL to markdown link format for consistency.

Line 9 contains a bare URL that violates markdown standards and deviates from the changelog's established conventions. Other entries use markdown link format (e.g., [\#1176](https://github.com/ably/ably-java/pull/1176)) to reference pull requests. Standardize this entry to match.

Apply this diff to fix the formatting:

* Fixed an issue where async requests were not working after the realtime client reconnected following a manual close in https://github.com/ably/ably-java/pull/1176
+ * Fixed an issue where async requests were not working after the realtime client reconnected following a manual close in [\#1176](https://github.com/ably/ably-java/pull/1176)

In CHANGELOG.md around lines 3 to 9, the pull request reference is a bare URL;
replace the bare URL with a markdown link in the changelog's established format
(e.g., change the trailing "https://github.com/ably/ably-java/pull/1176" to
"[#1176](https://github.com/ably/ably-java/pull/1176)") so the entry matches
other entries' markdown link style.
