+Turbito is the little engine inside TurboAPI.
+
+While you write normal FastAPI code, Turbito is:
+- Parsing HTTP in Rust (Hyper/Tokio)
+- Serializing JSON with SIMD acceleration
+- Scheduling async work with Tokio's work-stealing scheduler
+- Dodging the GIL like a speed demon
+
+You never see Turbito. You just feel the speed.

+## What's New
+
+### v0.5.21 — Free-Threading Stability Release
+
+This release fixes critical issues when running with **free-threaded Python (3.13t)** and **Metal/MLX GPU frameworks**:
+
+| Fix | Description |
+|-----|-------------|
+| **Memory Corruption** | Fixed race condition where request body bytes were corrupted when using async handlers with MLX models loaded |
+| **Response Serialization** | Response objects now properly serialize their content instead of string representation |
+| **Async BaseModel** | Async handlers with BaseModel parameters now correctly receive the validated model instance |
+| **JSON Parsing** | Added Python fallback for edge cases where simd-json is too strict |
+
+**Technical Deep Dive:** When running free-threaded Python with Metal GPU frameworks, memory can be accessed concurrently by the CPU and GPU. We now use defensive copying (`PyBytes::new()` in Rust, `bytes(bytearray())` in Python) to ensure request data is isolated before processing.
+
+```bash
+# Upgrade to get the fixes
+pip install --upgrade turboapi
