What changed, and why it matters
This commit only updates the release notes file (CHANGELOG.md), changing the version label from a release candidate (25.09rc4) to the final release (25.09) and updating the release date and download link. No program code was changed, so it cannot introduce or fix any security issue by itself.
No security action needed; this is a routine release-documentation update.
Security signals we found
No strong security signals were identified.
Evidence from the diff
The diff is limited to CHANGELOG.md: two lines are modified, replacing ‘25.09rc4’ with ‘25.09’ and the release date from 2025-08-28 to 2025-09-01, plus the corresponding release tag URL. No source code, build scripts, tests, or documentation with security implications are touched.
