+## [2.6.0] - September 2, 2026
+
+### New Features

+**Holdout Targeted Delivery Exclusion**: Holdouts can now be configured to exclude Targeted Delivery rules, so users held out of experiments still receive their Targeted Delivery experiences. This gives you a cleaner measure of experiment impact without holding users back from ongoing rollouts.
+
+- Add holdout exclude_targeted_deliveries support ([#458](https://github.com/optimizely/go-sdk/pull/458))
