+## [1.5.8] - 2024-12-01
+
+### Fixed
+- **ERB template detection**: Fixed false positives for empty headings and missing accessible names when ERB output tags (`<%= ... %>`) are present
+- **Static scanning**: ERB tags are now replaced with placeholder text so checks can detect that content will be present at runtime
+- **Scanner process management**: Static and live scanners now stay alive (sleep loop) when `enabled: false` instead of exiting, preventing Foreman from killing other processes
+
+### Added
+- **Global enable/disable flag**: Added `enabled` configuration option in `accessibility.yml` to completely disable all accessibility checks (manual and automatic)
+- **ERB content detection**: `ErbExtractor` now replaces `<%= ... %>` with `"ERB_CONTENT"` placeholder instead of removing it
+- **ERB-aware checks**: `HeadingCheck` and `InteractiveElementsCheck` now detect ERB placeholders and skip empty checks
+
+### Improved
+- **Static scanner behavior**: When `enabled: false`, scanner shows message and keeps running instead of exiting
+- **Live scanner behavior**: When `enabled: false`, scanner shows message and keeps running instead of exiting
+
 ## [1.5.7] - 2024-12-01
