 ## [Unreleased]
 
+## [0.3.0] - 2026-10-26
+
 ### Added
 
+- Add optional `delete`, `deleteMany`, and `deleteBefore` pilot interceptors for job deletion through the client and job cleaner. Hooks run within the deletion transaction and can extend or replace the standard deletion. [PR #1502](https://github.com/riverqueue/river/pull/1502).
 - Add `@riverqueue/driver-knex` for inserting jobs on Postgres inside Knex transactions, including batches, unique jobs, and nested savepoints. Configure its `knexTransactionAdapter` on `PgDriver` to use native Knex transactions with `completeTx` in workers. [PR #1516](https://github.com/riverqueue/river/pull/1516).
 - Support native Prisma interactive transactions with `completeTx` in workers and `{ tx }` on Postgres client operations. Configure `prismaTransactionAdapter` from `@riverqueue/driver-prisma` on `PgDriver` to commit application writes and job completion together. [PR #1517](https://github.com/riverqueue/river/pull/1517).
-- Support Node.js 24 across all packages. On runtimes without native `Temporal`, preload an application-provided polyfill before importing River, including in worker threads. River validates runtime support on library import and never installs or replaces a global polyfill. The standalone `riverqueue` CLI supplies its own polyfill when needed. Node.js 26 uses native `Temporal`.

 ### Changed
 
 - **Breaking:** Resumable steps can no longer be nested. Calls fail before running child callbacks, preventing unreachable resume points and rolled-back parent checkpoints from being saved again. [PR #1534](https://github.com/riverqueue/river/pull/1534).
-- Like River for Go, `insertMany` rejects an empty batch with a `ValidationError` instead of returning an empty result. [PR #1504](https://github.com/riverqueue/river/pull/1504).
+- **Breaking:** Like River for Go, `insertMany` rejects an empty batch with a `ValidationError` instead of returning an empty result. [PR #1504](https://github.com/riverqueue/river/pull/1504).
 - Like River for Go, the client no longer caps `maxAttempts` at 32767: SQLite stores wider attempt counts, and the Postgres and Prisma drivers clamp `maxAttempts` to their 16-bit column on insert instead of failing. [PR #1504](https://github.com/riverqueue/river/pull/1504).
 - Like River for Go's `ResumableStep`, a failed resumable step records the step's own error as the attempt's error instead of wrapping it in a `LifecycleError`. [PR #1504](https://github.com/riverqueue/river/pull/1504).

 - Refresh a durable periodic job's saved row only after its next run time is loaded at startup or committed. When a startup write rolled back, keep-alive could revive an expired row, and the next leader enqueued every run since the row's old next run time. [PR #1540](https://github.com/riverqueue/river/pull/1540).
 - Fail retries that omit a saved cursor-only step, while preserving their checkpoints for recovery. Jobs with an existing step marker retain their behavior, including legacy stale cursor entries. [PR #1534](https://github.com/riverqueue/river/pull/1534).
-
 - Replace whole top-level metadata values on SQLite, including JSON null, matching Postgres. Completed resumable cursor steps no longer run again because of stale cursor entries. [PR #1533](https://github.com/riverqueue/river/pull/1533).
-
-- Preserve first-step resumable cursors on failure and step progress on snooze. Transactional checkpoints no longer leak into deferred updates after rollback or a failed write; rolling back a successful checkpoint write may replay earlier unpersisted steps.
-
-- Worker threads respect cancellation received while loading a handler module, before invoking its handler.

 - Like River for Go, a leader whose renewal finds its term gone, because it expired or another process replaced it, gives up leadership at once instead of running maintenance until its local deadline passes. [PR #1504](https://github.com/riverqueue/river/pull/1504).
 - `updateQueue` raising a full queue's `maxWorkers` starts jobs at once instead of waiting for a running job to finish. [PR #1504](https://github.com/riverqueue/river/pull/1504).
