+# Release Draft - 2026-01-24
+
+## Highlights
+
+### S3 Multipart Upload Support
+We have introduced a new helper module `js/storage/s3-multipart.js` to facilitate reliable uploads of large files to S3-compatible storage providers. This module handles:
+- Multipart upload orchestration (initiate, upload parts, complete/abort).
+- Automatic part sizing calculation.
+- Bucket existence checks and creation (with region support).
+- CORS configuration helper.
+- Intelligent `Cache-Control` header generation based on file type.
+
+This addition paves the way for more robust video upload capabilities directly to object storage.
+
+## Upgrade Notes
+
+No breaking changes or dependency bumps in this release.
