+## [0.2.0] - 2026-01-14
+### Added
+- Improved cross-version compatibility with Home Assistant backup metadata by normalizing backup schema fields (e.g., `addons`, `database_included`, etc.).
+- More robust metadata serialization for `AgentBackup` across Home Assistant versions (supports different serialization methods).
+
+### Fixed
+- Improved upload reliability by spooling backup streams to a temporary file and uploading with Content-Length (avoids chunked WebDAV uploads that may cause reverse proxy 504 timeouts).
+- Added non-restrictive client timeouts for long-running WebDAV operations to prevent client-side aborts.
+- Fixed backup listing failures caused by missing expected metadata keys in different Home Assistant versions.
+
+## [0.1.1-alpha] - 2026-01-14
+### Fixed
+- Improved upload reliability by spooling backup streams to a temporary file and uploading with Content-Length (avoids chunked WebDAV uploads that may cause reverse proxy 504 timeouts).
+- Set a non-restrictive client timeout for WebDAV PUT requests to prevent client-side premature aborts on slow connections.

+To improve reliability behind reverse proxies and avoid WebDAV timeouts with chunked uploads,
+the integration **spools the backup to a temporary file** and then uploads it with a proper

 ## Troubleshooting
 
+### "Upload failed" / HTTP 504 (Gateway Timeout)
+A 504 typically indicates a reverse proxy / gateway timeout (e.g., Nginx/Traefik/Cloudflare).
+This integration uploads with Content-Length (non-chunked) for better compatibility.
+
+If you still see 504:
+- Increase proxy timeouts (e.g. `proxy_read_timeout`, `proxy_send_timeout` in Nginx)
+- Ensure large uploads are allowed (`client_max_body_size` in Nginx)
+- Avoid buffering restrictions for WebDAV endpoints
