+## 4.0.1 – 2025-04-29
+
+1. Remove deprecated `monotonic` library. Use Python's core `time.monotonic` function instead
+2. Clarify Python 3.9+ is required
+
 ## 4.0.0 - 2025-04-24
 
 1. Added new method `get_feature_flag_result` which returns a `FeatureFlagResult` object. This object breaks down the result of a feature flag into its enabled state, variant, and payload. The benefit of this method is it allows you to retrieve the result of a feature flag and its payload in a single API call. You can call `get_value` on the result to get the value of the feature flag, which is the same value returned by `get_feature_flag` (aka the string `variant` if the flag is a multivariate flag or the `boolean` value if the flag is a boolean flag).
