+### Version: 5.0.0
+#### Date: Feb-16-2026
+Breaking: Cache persistence is now a separate plugin. When using a cache policy other than `IGNORE_CACHE`, you must pass `cacheOptions.persistenceStore`. Install `@contentstack/persistence-plugin` and use `new PersistenceStore({ ... })` as the store. The SDK no longer bundles persistence code or accepts `storeType` in `cacheOptions`.
+Enhancement: SDK defines only the `PersistenceStore` interface (getItem/setItem); full implementation lives in the plugin for a lighter core package.
+Fix: Sync API returns non-Axios response causing undefined data and recursive sync failure

+### Caching
+
+To use cache policies (`CACHE_THEN_NETWORK`, `CACHE_ELSE_NETWORK`, `NETWORK_ELSE_CACHE`), you must provide a persistence store via `cacheOptions.persistenceStore`. Install the optional persistence plugin and pass a `PersistenceStore` instance:
+
+```bash
+npm install @contentstack/persistence-plugin
+```
+
+```typescript
+import contentstack, { Policy } from '@contentstack/delivery-sdk';
+import { PersistenceStore } from '@contentstack/persistence-plugin';
+
+const stack = contentstack.stack({
+  apiKey: 'your-api-key',
+  deliveryToken: 'your-delivery-token',
+  environment: 'your-environment',
+  cacheOptions: {
+    policy: Policy.CACHE_THEN_NETWORK,
+    persistenceStore: new PersistenceStore({ storeType: 'localStorage', maxAge: 86400000 }),
+  },
+});
+```
+
+See [@contentstack/persistence-plugin](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@contentstack/persistence-plugin) for options (`storeType`, `maxAge`, custom storage).

+### Development
