 # Changelog
 
+## 0.4.4 — 11.5.2026.
+
+### Fixed
+- Await `async def` task callables submitted through `AsyncClient` instead of
+  trying to cache the coroutine object.
+- Include immutable referenced global values in function hashes so global
+  constants invalidate cached results when changed.
+- Resolve nested `ResultRef` / `AsyncResultRef` values inside containers and
+  record them as input refs in commit metadata.
+- Raise a clear `cashet[redis]` install error when `RedisStore` or
+  `AsyncRedisStore` is imported from a base install without the Redis extra.
+
 ## 0.4.3 — 1.5.2026.

+- **Closure variables are not hashed** and emit a `ClosureWarning` if present. Function identity is source code, defaults, keyword defaults, immutable referenced globals, and referenced helper functions; not arbitrary runtime state. If you need cache invalidation based on a mutable value, pass it as an explicit argument.
 - **Referenced user-defined helper functions are hashed recursively.** If your cached function calls or references a helper from your own project (via `co_names` / `globals`), that helper's source is included in the cache key. Change the helper and the caller's cache invalidates. Builtin and stdlib functions are skipped. This behavior is automatic and invisible — no decorators or imports needed.
+- **Nested refs resolve through containers.** `ResultRef` and `AsyncResultRef` values inside lists, tuples, sets, frozensets, and dicts are loaded before execution and recorded as commit input refs.
 - **Blobs are deduplicated by content hash.** Identical results share one blob on disk.
 - **Source is hashed as an AST.** Comments, docstrings, and whitespace changes don't invalidate the cache.
 - **Custom object arguments include their class module and qualname** in the argument hash so same-named classes from different modules do not collide.

 ### Fixed
 - Await `async def` task callables submitted through `AsyncClient` instead of
   trying to cache the coroutine object.
-- Include immutable referenced global values in function hashes so global
-  constants invalidate cached results when changed.
+- Include immutable referenced global values, including globals referenced only
+  inside nested code objects, in function hashes so global constants invalidate
+  cached results when changed.
 - Resolve nested `ResultRef` / `AsyncResultRef` values inside containers and
-  record them as input refs in commit metadata.
+  record deduplicated input refs in commit metadata.
+- Preserve tuple subclasses while resolving refs and keep dict/frozenset
+  resolution from creating unhashable container members.
 - Raise a clear `cashet[redis]` install error when `RedisStore` or
