🤖 I have created a release beep boop

3.0.0 (2026-11-05)

⚠ BREAKING CHANGES

• default Gemini API version to v1 instead of v1beta across SDKs
• httpx2 is now the required dependency and default HTTP client instead of httpx, and default SSL verification with httpx2 uses the OS certificate trust store (via truststore / httpx2.create_ssl_context()) when SSL_CERT_FILE and SSL_CERT_DIR are not set. To maintain baseline behavior, install google-genai[httpx] and set GOOGLE_GENAI_HTTP_CLIENT=httpx.
