 # Changelog
 
+## [1.7.0](https://github.com/googleapis/python-genai/compare/v1.6.0...v1.7.0) (2025-03-18)
+
+
+### Features
+
+* Bump up the websockets version for proxy support ([b996c4b](https://github.com/googleapis/python-genai/commit/b996c4b62be8c4d108dbe572372a2c31661e9bcc))
+* Leverage httpx connection pooling and avoid instantiation of httpx.Client or httpx.AsyncClient for each call ([2ac5129](https://github.com/googleapis/python-genai/commit/2ac5129d4005d797f29df0a213e2455d7d730b43))
+
+
+### Bug Fixes
+
+* **chats:** Fix duplicate history when appending AFC history ([e4b1d8a](https://github.com/googleapis/python-genai/commit/e4b1d8af03be5579ff6cb0ba42dd0d3d65126892))
+* Fix incorrect casing of upload status and url headers in Files API. httpx.Response returns 'x-goog-upload-status', but we were checking for 'X-Goog-Upload-Status'. Also clean up upload_file and download_file requests. ([2ac5129](https://github.com/googleapis/python-genai/commit/2ac5129d4005d797f29df0a213e2455d7d730b43))
+
+
+### Documentation
+
+* Use consistent terminology for Gemini Developer API and Vertex AI ([7f1cc22](https://github.com/googleapis/python-genai/commit/7f1cc22e6220d4550726bd75c0dff922698d674e))
