+
+### Added
+- add optional response props type to render method: `response.inertia().render<ResponseProps = Record<string, unknown>>(…)`
+  - this is useful if you want to provide a contract between frontend and backend props
 
 ### Updates
 - remove JSDoc blocks in comments because they are a duplicate of the TypeScript types
