+## 0.35.0 — encoded-slash proxy compatibility and release cleanup (source candidate)
+
+- **Encoded slash compatibility:** `%2F` and `%2f` are accepted in request paths. RustProxy decodes them to `/` only for routing/security decisions and applies the same duplicate-slash normalization as literal `/`.
+- **Preserve-mode forwarding:** when a location does not rewrite the path, the original encoded request target is retained for the upstream, including query strings. Applications that use encoded slashes inside path parameters therefore receive the same target the client sent.
+- **Path hardening retained:** encoded `..` traversal after slash normalization, encoded backslash, `%`, `?`, `#`, `;`, controls, malformed percent escapes and invalid UTF-8 remain rejected.
+- **Release gate cleanup:** source/tests are adjusted for the current Rust/Clippy gate without weakening runtime security checks.
