+Changed
+^^^^^^^
+
+* Changed the pinned Newton version to the v1.4.0 release (from a pre-1.4
+  development commit), adopting the MuJoCo 3.10 stack and the new margin/gap
+  semantics. Assets that author PhysX ``contactOffset`` / ``restOffset``
+  attributes keep their behavior through Newton's schema translation
+  (``margin == restOffset``, ``gap == contactOffset - restOffset``).
+
+Fixed
+^^^^^
+
+* Fixed custom-frequency USD traversal honoring ``ignore_paths`` via the
+  upstream Newton fix included in v1.4.0.
