Changelog for Falcon 4.3.1
==========================

.. falcon-release: 2026-06-16

Summary
-------

This is a :ref:`SemVer <semver>` patch release that makes Falcon's own test
suite compatible with the recently released ``cbor2`` 6.x series.

Documentation and tests aside, this release is functionally identical to
:doc:`Falcon 4.3.0 <4.3.0>`.


Misc
----

- Falcon's test suite is now compatible with the ``cbor2`` 6.x series, whose
  ``CBORDecodeError`` is no longer a subclass of :class:`ValueError`. This is a
  test-only change with no impact on Falcon's runtime behavior (Falcon has zero
  hard dependencies outside of the standard library, and ``cbor2`` is only used
  in our own test suite). (`#2663 <https://github.com/falconry/falcon/issues/2663>`__)
