 ## [Unreleased]
 
+## [1.7.0] 2025-09-01
+
+### Added
+
+#### Enhanced SCXML Feature Detection and Test Infrastructure
+
+- **Comprehensive Feature Detection**: Added detection for 8 new SCXML
+  features including wildcard_events, invoke_elements, script_elements,
+  cancel_elements, finalize_elements, donedata_elements,
+  send_content_elements, send_param_elements, and send_delay_expressions
+- **Automated Test Updates**: Created script to automatically update
+  @required_features attributes across 182 test files (123 SCION + 59
+  W3C) based on actual XML content analysis
+- **Wildcard Events Support**: Full implementation of event="*" patterns
+  with proper transition processing and comprehensive test coverage
+- **Partial Feature Testing**: Modified test framework to allow :partial
+  features to run, providing better feedback instead of automatic
+  exclusion
+
+#### New SCXML Elements and Features
+
+- **Foreach Element Support**: Complete SCXML `<foreach>` implementation
+  with W3C-compliant variable scoping, permanent variable declaration,
+  and nested action support
+- **Targetless Transitions**: Implementation of SCXML targetless
+  transitions that execute actions without state changes, following W3C
+  specification requirements
+- **Enhanced Send Elements**: Improved `<send>` element parsing with
+  proper content element text capture, fixing previously ignored text
+  content in send actions
+
+#### Development Infrastructure
+
+- **Quality Mix Task**: Added comprehensive `mix quality` task with
+  automated formatting, testing, static analysis, and coverage checking
+- **Coverage Improvements**: Significantly improved test coverage across
+  multiple modules including parser components, action executors, and
+  logging infrastructure
+
+### Changed
+
+#### Test Framework Improvements
+
+- **Enhanced Feature Validation**: Updated FeatureDetector.validate_features/1
+  to treat :partial features as runnable rather than excluded
+- **Improved Test Accuracy**: All test files now have precise feature
+  requirements based on actual SCXML content rather than manual
+  specification
+- **Better Regression Coverage**: Regression test coverage improved from
+  141/142 to 145/145 (100% pass rate)
+
+#### SCXML Compliance Enhancements
+
+- **History State Fixes**: Fixed history state restoration to properly
+  execute ancestor onentry actions per W3C specification
+- **Logging Improvements**: Implemented safe_to_string function to handle
+  complex data types in log actions, preventing String.Chars protocol
+  errors
+- **Increased Iteration Limits**: Raised eventless transition iteration
+  limit from 100 to 1000 to handle complex automatic transition chains
+
+### Fixed
+
+- **Content Element Parsing**: Fixed SAX parser to capture text content
+  within `<content>` elements for send actions
+- **Variable Scoping**: Proper SCXML variable scoping in foreach loops
+  with restoration of existing variables after iteration
+- **Feature Classification**: Corrected wildcard_events status from
+  :partial to :supported with full implementation
+
+### Benefits
+
+- **Enhanced Test Coverage**: Comprehensive detection prevents false
+  positive/negative test results with accurate feature requirements
+- **Better Development Feedback**: Partial features now provide real
+  feedback rather than being automatically excluded from testing
+- **SCXML Compliance**: Improved adherence to W3C SCXML specification
+  with proper implementation of complex features like foreach and
+  targetless transitions
+- **Developer Experience**: Automated quality checking and enhanced test
+  infrastructure provide better development workflow
+
+All 857+ tests continue to pass with enhanced regression coverage and
+improved SCXML feature support.
