+## Notes
+
+We have thoroughly refactored xtcp in this version to improve its penetration rate and stability.
+
+In this version, different penetration strategies can be attempted by retrying connections multiple times. Once a hole is successfully punched, the strategy will be recorded in the server cache for future reuse. When new users connect, the successfully penetrated tunnel can be reused instead of punching a new hole.
+
+**Due to a significant refactor of xtcp, this version is not compatible with previous versions of xtcp.**
+
+**To use features related to xtcp, both frpc and frps need to be updated to the latest version.**
+
 ### New
 
-* The `httpconnect` type in `tcpmux` now supports authentication through the parameters `http_user` and `http_pwd`.
+* The frpc has added the `nathole discover` command for testing the NAT type of the current network.
+* `XTCP` has been refactored, resulting in a significant improvement in the success rate of penetration.
+* When verifying passwords, use `subtle.ConstantTimeCompare` and introduce a certain delay when the password is incorrect.
 
-### Improved
+### Fix
 
-* The web framework has been upgraded to vue3 + element-plus, and the dashboard has added some information display and supports dark mode.
+* Fix the problem of lagging when opening multiple table entries in the frps dashboard.
-* The e2e testing has been switched to ginkgo v2.
