 # Changelog
 
+## [0.4.5] - 2026-02-22
+
+### Fixed
+- `Autocomplete` and `AutocompleteMultiselect` now route all printable characters to the search field first, fixing vim aliases (`j`/`k`/`h`/`l`) hijacking text input
+- `AutocompleteMultiselect` no longer intercepts `a`/`i` keys as shortcuts — they conflicted with typing in the search field
+- `AutocompleteMultiselect#toggle_current` now respects `:disabled` options, matching `Multiselect` behavior
+
+### Changed
+- `AutocompleteMultiselect` internals aligned with `Multiselect`: `@selected` naming, `submit` override pattern, `keyboard_hints` method, `build_frame` validation rendering, `initial_values: []` default
+
+### Added
+- `examples/showcase.rb` — full-featured demo with branching, autocomplete, date, range, group multiselect, tasks
+- `examples/migration_from_tty_prompt.rb` — side-by-side migration guide from tty-prompt
+- README: "Why Clack?" comparison table vs tty-prompt/highline, quick reference table, TL;DR tagline, vim key notes on autocomplete sections
+

+## Roadmap
+
+- **Wizard mode** - Multi-step flows with back navigation (`Clack.wizard`). The current `Clack.group` runs prompts as sequential Ruby code, so there's no way to "go back" and re-answer a previous question. A declarative wizard API would define steps as a graph with branching and let the engine handle forward/back navigation.
