+## Unreleased
+### Added
+- Autolink extension: Now supports configuration of different link types that
+  should be recognized and converted to links. See `AutolinkExtension#builder`
+
+  | Type    | Default? | Description                                            |
+  |---------|----------|--------------------------------------------------------|
+  | `URL`   | Yes      | URL with a protocol such as `https://example.com`      |
+  | `EMAIL` | Yes      | Email address such as `foo@example.com`                |
+  | `WWW`   | Yes      | Address beginning with `www` such as `www.example.com` |
+  
+  Note that this changes the behavior of `AutolinkExtension.create()` to now also
+  include `WWW` links by default. To re-enable the previous behavior, use:
+
+  ```java
+  AutolinkExtension.builder().linkTypes(AutolinkType.URL, AutolinkType.EMAIL).build();
+  ```
+
 ## [0.26.0] - 2025-09-13
 ### Changed
 - A `LinkProcessor` using `replaceWith` now also stops outer links from being
