-# css4j-dom4j version 5.1 Release Notes
+# css4j-dom4j version 5.3 Release Notes
 
-### January 24, 2025
+### March 31, 2025
+
+NOTE: This new version is not required to run with css4j 5.3, but if you use this
+version of css4j-dom4j, then you need css4j 5.3 or later.
 
 <br/>
 
 ## Release Highlights
 
-### Test suite updated for css4j 5.1
+### Update to latest changes in css4j 5.3
+
+This version no longer calls an agent method which was deprecated by css4j 5.3.
 
-This library is the same as 5.0 except for the test suite, which was modified
-for compatibility with the new `attr()` syntax supported by css4j 5.1.
+### java.net.URL constructor deprecations
 
-There is no need for upgrading unless you want to run the supplied tests.
+The library no longer uses the deprecated java.net.URL constructors. To achieve
+this, it is calling a method from css4j 5.3, which makes the build dependent on
+5.3 and later.
