+# python-mlb-statsapi 1.1.2
+
+Version 1.1.2 fixes parsing of MLB data objects when the API omits an expected code value.
+
+## Data model fix
+
+`CodeDesc.code` is now optional.
+
+Some MLB Stats API responses contain a code-description object with a description but no `code`. For example, play-by-play data may contain a type with a description of `"Unknown"` while omitting the corresponding code entirely.
+
+Previous versions treated `code` as required, causing Pydantic validation to reject the response. Version 1.1.2 accepts these payloads and represents the missing code as `None`.
+
+Normal API usage is unchanged:
+
+```python
+from mlbstatsapi import Mlb
+
+with Mlb() as mlb:
+    game = mlb.get_game(777961)
+```
+
+This is a backward-compatible model correction and requires no application changes.
+
+The fix was introduced in [#343](https://github.com/zero-sum-seattle/python-mlb-statsapi/pull/343).
+
+## Python support
+
+python-mlb-statsapi requires Python >=3.10.
+
+CI validates Python 3.10 through 3.14 (`3.10`, `3.11`, `3.12`, `3.13`, and `3.14`).
