 # Changelog
 
+## 3.5.12
+
+- Fix `runTx` silently rolling back after `ROLLBACK TO SAVEPOINT` recovery: clear stale `_transactionException` when PostgreSQL confirms a healthy transaction state.
+- Fix connection permanently blocked when `BEGIN` fails inside `runTx` (stale `_activeTransaction` state).
+- Fix connection left in undefined PostgreSQL state when `ROLLBACK` fails after a transaction error.
+
 ## 3.5.11
 
 - Adding `JsonbListView` with `isSqlNull(int index)` method to check if a JSONB array has SQL or JSON null value.
