 # changelog
 
+## 0.3.27
+
+Reconnect backoff resets after a connection that was established.
+
+- **fix**: `FirehoseClient.subscribe` and `JetstreamClient.subscribe` reset the
+  reconnect backoff once a connection has been established, not only when the
+  host rotates. A single-host consumer could never satisfy the host-switch
+  condition, so its delay doubled 1→2→4…→60s and stayed at the ceiling for the
+  life of the process, however healthy each connection had been. Against a
+  relay that closed every ~113s this left a consumer's tail down 33% of the
+  time. Measured live with forced disconnects: gaps held at ~1.38s across seven
+  reconnects, versus 1.4/2.4/4.4/8.4/16.4/32.6s before. Matches the reset point
+  in jcalabro/atmos (`streaming/client.go`); keying it on delivered events
+  instead would leave an idle-but-healthy filtered consumer compounding its
+  backoff.
+
 ## 0.3.26
 
 Strict CID parsing and formatting, following atmos's hardened profile.
