+# Spice Java SDK v0.6.0
+
+## Highlights
+
+This release focuses on **transport resilience** and **dependency upgrades**. A new `reset()` method provides manual recovery from stuck transport connections, gRPC keep-alive detects dead connections early, and DNS re-resolution enables automatic recovery from load-balancer IP rotation.
+
+## What's New
+
+### 🔄 Connection Reset
+
+The SDK now supports a `reset()` method for manual transport recovery. When the underlying gRPC connection becomes permanently stuck (e.g. TLS handshake to a wrong backend, persistent `UNAVAILABLE` after retries), `reset()` discards the bad connection and immediately establishes a fresh one:
+
+```java
+SpiceClient client = SpiceClient.builder()
+    .withApiKey(API_KEY)
+    .withSpiceCloud()
+    .build();
+
+try {
+    try (FlightStream stream = client.query(sql)) {
+        // process results...
+    }
+} catch (ExecutionException e) {
+    if (isTransportFailure(e.getCause())) {
+        client.reset();   // discard bad transport, reconnect immediately
+        try (FlightStream stream = client.query(sql)) {
+            // process results with fresh connection...
+        }
+    } else {
+        throw e;
+    }
+}
+```
+
+Key behaviors:
+- Thread-safe (`synchronized`) — concurrent reset calls are serialized
+- Idempotent — safe to call multiple times
+- Throws `IllegalStateException` if client is already closed
+- Resets both Flight and ADBC connections
+
+### 🏥 gRPC Keep-Alive
+
+HTTP/2 keep-alive pings are now enabled by default to detect dead connections quickly:
+
+- **Keep-alive interval**: 30 seconds
+- **Keep-alive timeout**: 10 seconds
+- **Keep-alive without calls**: enabled (pings even when idle)
+
+### 🌐 DNS Re-Resolution
+
+The SDK now uses `dns:///` target resolution for gRPC channels, enabling periodic hostname re-resolution. This allows clients to automatically recover from load-balancer IP rotation (e.g. AWS NLB) without manual intervention.
+
+**DNS cache TTL:** For more aggressive DNS refresh (recommended for cloud-deployed clients), set the JVM property:
+
+```bash
+-Dnetworkaddress.cache.ttl=30
+```
+
+### 🛡️ Lazy Transport Recovery
+
+A new `ensureFlightClient()` safety net automatically rebuilds the Flight client if the internal reference is null at query time, adding an extra layer of resilience.
