+# Changelog
+
+All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.
+
+The format is based on [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.1.0/),
+and this project adheres to [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.html).
+
+## [Unreleased]
+
+### Added
+- Unified Cassandra control interface for tests (`CassandraControl`)
+- CI environment detection for test skipping
+- Support for both Docker and Podman in all test fixtures
+- Consistent container naming across all test suites
+- Production-like Cassandra configuration with GossipingPropertyFileSnitch
+
+### Changed
+- Updated all Cassandra container configurations to use 4GB memory and 3GB heap
+- Refactored integration test fixtures to use shared clusters
+- Updated documentation to reflect protocol v5 as highest supported version
+- Standardized on Cassandra 5 across all examples and tests
+- Fixed mock future callbacks to use `asyncio.get_running_loop().call_soon()`
+
+### Fixed
+- Integration tests hanging due to improper async mock callbacks
+- "Cluster is already shut down" errors in integration tests
+- IPv6 connection issues by forcing IPv4 (127.0.0.1)
+- BDD FastAPI reconnection tests not properly isolating test data
+- "Cannot schedule new futures after shutdown" errors
+- CI test failures when trying to control Cassandra service containers
+
+### Security
+- No security changes in this release
+
+## [0.0.1] - TBD
+
+Initial release - library is under active development.

+# Documentation Review Summary
+
+## Review Completed
+
+I've reviewed all documentation and made necessary updates to ensure accuracy with the current codebase.
+
+## Updates Made
+
+### 1. Created CHANGELOG.md
+- Added comprehensive changelog documenting recent changes
+- Follows Keep a Changelog format
+- Ready for v0.0.1 release
+
+### 2. Updated Developer Guide
+- Added section on CI Environment Behavior
+- Documented which tests skip in CI and why
+- Added instructions for testing CI behavior locally
+
+### 3. Verified Documentation Accuracy
+All documentation was reviewed and found to be accurate:
+
+#### README.md ✅
+- Installation instructions are correct
+- API examples match current implementation
+- Badges and links are working
+
+#### CONTRIBUTING.md ✅
+- Development setup instructions are correct
+- Test commands match Makefile targets
+- Linting commands are accurate
+- PR guidelines are current
+
+#### developerdocs/ ✅
+- DEVELOPER_GUIDE.md - Now includes CI behavior section
+- BDD_TEST_GUIDE.md - Accurate with current test structure
+- VERSIONING_AND_TAGGING.md - Correct versioning approach
+- PYPI_SETUP.md - Accurate publishing instructions
+- api-monitoring.md - Correct API tracking approach
+
+#### docs/ ✅
+All documentation files reviewed by the Task agent and updated where needed:
+- Protocol version references updated (v5 is max, not v6)
+- Container runtime examples show both Docker and Podman
+- Test commands corrected
+- Cassandra version consistently shown as 5
+
+#### examples/ ✅
+- FastAPI example README is accurate
+- All code examples work with current API
+
+## Documentation Status
+
+✅ **All documentation is now up to date and accurate**
+
+The documentation correctly reflects:
+- Current API and features
+- Test running procedures
+- Build and development processes
+- CI/CD behavior
+- Example applications
+- Version and protocol support
+
+## No Major Rewrites Needed
+
+As requested, I only updated what was incorrect or outdated. The documentation was already well-written and mostly accurate, requiring only minor corrections for:
+- Protocol version accuracy
+- CI test behavior
+- Container runtime flexibility
+- Cassandra version consistency

+### CI Environment Behavior
+
+Some integration tests require controlling Cassandra (disabling/enabling binary protocol for reconnection tests). These tests automatically skip in CI environments where Cassandra runs as a service that cannot be controlled.
+
+To test CI behavior locally:
+```bash
+# Run tests in CI mode (tests that need container control will skip)
+CI=true pytest tests/integration/test_reconnection_behavior.py -v
+
+# Run tests normally (all tests execute)
+pytest tests/integration/test_reconnection_behavior.py -v
+```
+
+Tests that skip in CI:
+- Reconnection behavior tests
+- FastAPI reconnection BDD tests
+- Tests that require disabling/enabling Cassandra
