## \[4.6.0]

September 2, 2026

### New Features

**Holdout Targeted Delivery Exclusion**: Holdouts can now be configured to exclude Targeted Delivery rules, so users held out of experiments still receive their Targeted Delivery experiences. This gives you a cleaner measure of experiment impact without holding users back from ongoing rollouts.

- Fix excludeTargetedDeliveries parsing in Holdout config parsers ([#638](https://github.com/optimizely/java-sdk/pull/638))
- Add holdout exclusion logic for Targeted Delivery rules ([#637](https://github.com/optimizely/java-sdk/pull/637))
