 All notable changes to taskito are documented here.
 
+## 0.10.0
+
+### Features
+
+- **Smart scheduling** -- adaptive backpressure polling (50ms base → 200ms max backoff when idle, instant reset on dispatch); per-task duration cache tracks average execution time in-memory; weighted least-loaded dispatch for prefork pool factors in task duration (`score = in_flight × avg_duration`)
+
+### Internal
+
+- `Scheduler::run()` uses adaptive polling with exponential backoff (50ms → 200ms max); `tick()` returns `bool` for feedback
+- `TaskDurationCache` in-memory HashMap tracks per-task avg wall_time_ns, updated on every `handle_result()`
+- `weighted_least_loaded()` dispatch strategy in `prefork/dispatch.rs`; `aging_factor` field added to `SchedulerConfig`
+
