+# Jasmine 4.4.0 Release Notes
+
+## Changes
+
+* Optimized the process of transitioning between specs in Node, Safari, and
+  Edge. This change reduces the run time of jasmine-core's own test suite by
+  50-70% in Node, about 20% in Edge, and 75-90% in Safari. Your results may
+  vary. In general, suites with many fast specs will see the greatest
+  performance improvement.
+
+* Removed old code to support browsers that don't provide 
+  addEventListener/removeEventListener.
+
+## Supported environments
+
+jasmine-core 4.4.0 has been tested in the following environments.
+
+| Environment       | Supported versions |
+|-------------------|--------------------|
+| Node              | 12.17+, 14, 16, 18 |
+| Safari            | 14-15              |
+| Chrome            | 105                |
