 All notable changes to the HyperList Ruby TUI will be documented in this file.
 
+## [1.9.1] - 2025-12-02
+
+### Added
+- **External file change detection**
+  - Automatically detects when the file is modified by other processes (vim, another Claude Code session, etc.)
+  - Prompts user to reload with "File changed externally. Reload? (y/n)"
+  - Preserves cursor position after reload
+  - Option to ignore external changes (updates internal timestamp to avoid repeated prompts)
+
+### Fixed
+- **Quote coloring inside parentheses (comments)**
+  - Fixed issue where quotes inside parentheses like `(this is a "comment" in here)` would break the cyan coloring
+  - The closing quote would terminate coloring, leaving the rest of the comment white
+  - Now the entire parentheses content stays cyan as intended
+
+## [1.9.0] - 2025-10-24
+
+### Added
+- **Item Tagging & Batch Operations**
+  - Tag items with 't' key for batch operations (auto-advance cursor)
+  - Visual feedback: dark blue background for tagged items, lighter blue for tagged+selected
+  - Status bar shows [T:N] count of tagged items
+  - Clear all tags with 'u' key
+  - Regex tagging with 'C-T' - tag all items matching a pattern
+  - Batch operations: D/C-D (delete), y/Y (yank), Tab/S-Tab (indent) work on all tagged items
+
+- **External Editor Support**
+  - Press 'E' to spawn $EDITOR (vim, nano, etc.)
+  - Automatic save/reload workflow
+  - Proper terminal state management
+  - Full screen refresh on return
+
+- **Enhanced Paste & Navigation**
+  - 'P' to paste above current item (vim-style)
+  - Presentation mode moved to 'C-P'
+  - Templates moved to 'T' key
+  - Undo moved to 'U' key (RTFM-consistent)
+
+### Enhanced
+- **Smart Modified Flag**
+  - [+] indicator removed when undoing back to original file state
+  - Tracks original state to detect true modifications
+

-## What's New in v1.8.0
-
-### 📋 Multi-Line Paste Support
+## What's New in v1.9.1
+
+### External File Change Detection
+- **Auto-detect external changes**: HyperList now monitors when the file is modified by other processes (vim, another Claude Code session, etc.)
+- **Reload prompt**: Shows "File changed externally. Reload? (y/n)" when changes are detected
+- **Cursor preservation**: Your cursor position is preserved after reload
+- **Skip option**: Press 'n' to ignore external changes and continue editing
+
+### Bug Fix: Quote Coloring in Comments
+- Fixed an issue where quotes inside parentheses (comments) like `(this is a "comment" in here)` would break the cyan coloring
+- The entire parentheses content now stays cyan as intended
+
+## Previous Release: v1.9.0
+
+### Item Tagging & Batch Operations
+- **Tag items**: Press 't' to tag/untag items for batch operations
+- **Auto-advance**: Cursor automatically moves to next item after tagging for fast consecutive tagging
+- **Visual feedback**: Tagged items show dark blue background, lighter blue when selected
+- **Status indicator**: Shows `[T:N]` in status line with count of tagged items
+- **Clear tags**: Press 'u' to clear all tags
+- **Regex tagging**: Press 'C-T' to tag all items matching a regex pattern
+- **Batch operations**: Delete (D/C-D), yank (y/Y), and indent (Tab/S-Tab) work on all tagged items
+- Tag consecutive or non-consecutive items, then perform operations on the entire set
+
+### External Editor Support
+- **Edit in $EDITOR**: Press 'E' to spawn your preferred editor (vim, nano, emacs, etc.)
+- **Seamless workflow**: File saved automatically, editor launched, changes reloaded on exit
+- **Terminal management**: Terminal state properly saved and restored
+- Uses `$EDITOR` environment variable (defaults to vi if not set)
+
+### Enhanced Paste & Navigation
+- **Paste above**: Press 'P' to paste above current item (vim-style)
+- **Paste below**: Press 'p' to paste below current item (existing)
+- **Presentation mode**: Moved to 'C-P' (was 'P') for consistency
+- **Templates**: Moved to 'T' key (was 't')
+- **Undo**: Moved to 'U' key (was 'u') - consistent with RTFM
+
+### Smart Modified Flag
+- **Intelligent tracking**: `[+]` indicator automatically removed when undoing back to original file state
+- **Clean status**: No false "modified" indicator after complete undo to original
+
+## Previous Release: v1.8.0
+
+### Multi-Line Paste Support
 - **Paste multiple lines**: When pasting multi-line content into item insertion prompts ('o', 'O', 'a', 'A'), each line becomes a separate item
 - **Visual feedback**: Shows `[+N lines]` indicator during multi-line paste
 - **Smart insertion**: All pasted lines inserted as siblings at the same level
 - Great for importing bullet lists from PDFs, emails, or other documents
 - Requires rcurses 6.1.5+
 
-### 📄 PDF/LaTeX Export
+### PDF/LaTeX Export
 - **Export to PDF**: `:export pdf filename.pdf` - Full LaTeX-based PDF generation
 - **Export to LaTeX**: `:export latex filename.tex` - Get the LaTeX source
 - **Professional output**: Color-coded elements, table of contents, headers
 - **Complete HyperList support**: All syntax elements rendered beautifully
 - Requires: texlive-latex-base and texlive-latex-extra packages
 
-### 📋 System Clipboard Integration
+### System Clipboard Integration
 - **Yank to clipboard**: 'y' and 'Y' now copy to system clipboard
 - **Middle-click paste**: Yanked items can be pasted into other terminals
 - **Preserves indentation**: Copied text maintains proper structure
