update CHANGES.md for release 1.5.2
What changed, and why it matters
This commit only updates the project's CHANGES.md release notes file. It documents what was added, changed, and fixed in version 1.5.2, but it does not modify any source code, build scripts, or cryptographic logic. The actual security-relevant fixes were made in earlier commits that are merely summarized here.
Review the actual commits that implemented the listed fixes (PSBT parsing, BIP118 sighash, taproot control block verification) to assess their security impact; this documentation commit itself requires no action.
Security signals we found
Release notes mention prior fixes to PSBT parsing checks, BIP118 sighash computation, and taproot control block verification
