+## 4.1.2
+  - bugfix: improves trim_key and trim_value to trim any _sequence_ of matching characters from the beginning and ends of the corresponding keys and values; a previous implementation limitited trim to a single character from each end, which was surprising.
+  - bugfix: fixes issue where we can fail to correctly break up a sequence that includes a partially-quoted value followed by another fully-quoted value by slightly reducing greediness of quoted-value captures.
+
 ## 4.1.1
   - bugfix: correctly handle empty values between value separator and field separator (#58)
