OpenUSD records release changes in a single CHANGELOG.md, one section per release, grouped by area with '**Important**' markers. The 2026-10-21 observation that the newest tag (v26.11.0) had no GitHub Release is out of date. v26.11.1 was tagged and published as a GitHub Release at 2026-10-21T23:36Z with a GPU memory fix and a CI change, while v26.11.0 itself still has no Release entry. 26.11.0's Important security item drops default reading of .usd/.usdc files older than crate version 0.4.0. Curator qualifications: Docs read 2026-10-22; nothing built. VERSIONS.md tested-dependency list carried from producer reading. Limitations: Docs read 2026-10-22; nothing built. Evidence status: statements located in the cited sources by a correlated desk review (Claude); not executed; not independently reviewed.
