+- update to version 4.4.0:
+ - The public API on ``geoip2.database`` is now explicitly defined by
+   setting ``__all__``.
+ - The return type of the ``metadata()`` method on ``Reader`` is now
+   ``maxminddb.reader.Metadata`` rather than a union type.
+- update to version 4.3.0:
+ - Previously, the ``py.typed`` file was not being added to the source
+   distribution. It is now explicitly specified in the manifest.
+ - The type hints for the database file in the ``Reader`` constructor have
+   been expanded to match those specified by ``maxmindb.open_database``. In
+   particular, ``os.PathLike`` and ``IO`` have been added.
+ - Corrected the type hint for the ``metadata()`` method on ``Reader``. It
+   will return a ``maxminddb.extension.Metadata`` if the C extension is being
+   used.
