+## [2.0.0] - 2025-01-30
+
+### Changed
+- **BREAKING:** Simplified `update_many()` - removed complex grouping logic (58% code reduction)
+- **BREAKING:** Renamed `get_by_id()` → `get()` for cleaner API
+- **BREAKING:** Renamed `delete_by_id()` → `delete()` for cleaner API
+
+### Removed
+- **BREAKING:** Removed `get_by_text()` - use SQL queries or `get_all()` with filtering
+- **BREAKING:** Removed `get_by_metadata()` - use SQL queries or `get_all()` with filtering
+- **BREAKING:** Removed `list_results()` - use `get_all()` generator instead
+
+### Added
+- Kept `count()` method for convenience (user request)
+
+### Improved
+- 28% smaller codebase (650 → 467 lines)
+- 15% fewer methods (20 → 17)
+- Test coverage increased 89% → 92%
+- Cleaner, more intuitive API
+- Better code maintainability
+- All core CRUD and bulk operations preserved
