+# 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/1.0.0/).
+
+## [Unreleased]
+
+### Added
+- Python 3.9 support (`requires-python = ">=3.9"`)
+  - `schema.py`: replaced `@dataclass(slots=True)` (Python 3.10+) with a
+    version-conditional equivalent; slots are still used on Python 3.10+
+  - `_batcher.py`: removed `zip(..., strict=True)` (Python 3.10+); the
+    length mismatch is already guarded by an explicit check above the loop
+  - Dev dependencies: added Python-version-conditional variants for
+    `pytest` and `pytest-asyncio` so the lock file resolves on Python 3.9
+  - CI: added Python 3.9 to the unit-test and live-test matrices
