+## [3.2.0] - 2026-05-11
+
+### Added
+
+- **TeamsAPI claim avoidance**: EzRTP now integrates with [TeamsAPI](https://modrinth.com/plugin/teams-api) to skip chunk-claimed areas during RTP destination search.
+  - New protection provider id: `teamsapi`. Works alongside the existing `worldguard` and `griefprevention` providers.
+  - Enabled automatically when TeamsAPI (with a compatible claim provider) is installed. Silently skipped when absent, no errors, no configuration changes required.
+  - `teamsapi` added to the default `protection.providers` list in `rtp.yml`.
+  - `TeamsAPI` added to `softdepend` in `plugin.yml`.
+  - Claim availability is evaluated dynamically per check, so a claim plugin that loads after EzRTP is picked up without a reload.

 Why here: claim/region safety is part of RTP destination validation, so it belongs in `rtp.yml`.
 
+## TeamsAPI claim avoidance
+
+TeamsAPI is a universal bridge between Minecraft team / faction plugins and consumer plugins.
+When a team plugin that supports chunk claiming registers a `TeamsClaimService` with TeamsAPI,
+EzRTP automatically detects this and avoids claimed chunks during RTP destination search.
+
+**Requirements:**
+
+- [TeamsAPI](https://modrinth.com/plugin/teams-api) plugin installed (soft-depend — not mandatory).
+- A compatible team plugin with claim support installed alongside TeamsAPI.
+
+**Behaviour:**
+
+- If TeamsAPI is absent or no claim provider is registered, the `teamsapi` entry in
+  `providers` is silently skipped. No errors are logged unless `avoid-claims: true` and
+  *all* configured providers are unavailable.
+- Claim availability is re-checked dynamically, so a claim plugin that loads after EzRTP
