+# 2.10.20 — 2026-10-04
+
+## Added
+
+- **`pubmed_fetch_fulltext` takes `pmcids`, `pmids`, and `dois` together** ([#192](https://github.com/cyanheads/pubmed-mcp-server/issues/192)) — up to 10 distinct identifiers across the three; an article several of them name is fetched and returned once. `deferred.idType` is now optional: a deferral spanning fields lists its ids under `deferred.pmcids` / `pmids` / `dois`.
+- **`pubmed_europepmc_fetch` `maxResponseCharacters`** ([#188](https://github.com/cyanheads/pubmed-mcp-server/issues/188)) — opt-in ceiling for the whole response; records past it are deferred whole, listed in `deferred.records`, and flagged `truncated: true`.
+- **`pubmed_search_articles` `maxResults: 0`** ([#191](https://github.com/cyanheads/pubmed-mcp-server/issues/191)) — a count-only search returning `totalCount` alone.
+- **Input aliases** ([#190](https://github.com/cyanheads/pubmed-mcp-server/issues/190)) — E-utilities and sibling-tool parameter names (`retmax`, `retstart`, `term`, `pageSize`, `maxResults`, and others) are rewritten to each tool's canonical key on `pubmed_search_articles`, `pubmed_lookup_mesh`, `pubmed_find_related`, `pubmed_europepmc_search`, and `pubmed_spell_check`.
+- **Real-article test corpus** — `tests/corpus/` runs openly licensed PMC and PubMed records against reviewed expected output under `bun run test`; `bun run test:corpus`, `bun run corpus:snapshot`, and `scripts/corpus-add.ts` maintain it.
+
+## Changed
+
+- **Input tightening, deliberate:** `pubmed_lookup_citation` rejects a blank or whitespace-only `journal`, `year`, `volume`, `firstPage`, or `authorName`, and a `year` that is not four digits, with -32602 naming the field ([#187](https://github.com/cyanheads/pubmed-mcp-server/issues/187)). Some of these used to return a match, such as a whitespace `year` beside a full journal citation.
+- **Input tightening, deliberate:** `pubmed_fetch_fulltext` rejects a `sections` element of only whitespace or invisible characters with `blank_filter`, and trims surrounding spaces from the terms it keeps ([#186](https://github.com/cyanheads/pubmed-mcp-server/issues/186)). An exactly-empty element is skipped.
+- **PMC ID Converter HTTP 400** surfaces as `invalidParams` (-32602) instead of -32007.
+- **`pubmed_search_articles` `dateRange`** — the `minDate`/`maxDate` descriptions say an empty bound drops the whole range, and the partial-range notice suggests the open lower bound `minDate: "1000"` instead of `"1800"`.
+- **Zero-fit deferral notice** — `pubmed_fetch_articles`, `pubmed_fetch_fulltext`, and `pubmed_europepmc_fetch` name the first record as the one that exceeds `maxResponseCharacters`.
+- **Output descriptions** — `pubmed_fetch_articles` `grants[].acronym` names the funding institute, never the grant; `pubmed_lookup_citation` describes its citation as needing a journal or a four-digit year.
+- **`server.json` npm entries** launch the package bin through `npx` without the `run start:*` arguments, and the `streamable-http` entry sets `MCP_TRANSPORT_TYPE` to `http`.
+- **`.mcpb` bundle** — `.mcpbignore` excludes the build-only root directories `/src/`, `/scripts/`, `/tests/`, `/docs/`, `/coverage/`, `/.github/`, `/.vscode/`, and `/.cache/`, so the bundle drops from 11.7 MB to 10.7 MB and carries no corpus fixtures. The scaffold gap is tracked in [cyanheads/mcp-ts-core#508](https://github.com/cyanheads/mcp-ts-core/issues/508).
+- **Framework 0.13.11 adoption** — the Docker image prunes musl-only packages (`scripts/prune-musl-packages.ts`); devcheck's TODO and tracked-secret scans, `lint:packaging` check 16, per-language CodeQL jobs, `.env*` ignore rules, and the `framework-skills/` sync follow the framework.
+- **Docs** — the README MCP SDK badge reads `^2.2.0` (was `^2.1.0`), and the `CLAUDE.md`/`AGENTS.md` Commands table gains the corpus commands and describes `lint:packaging`'s current checks.
+
+## Fixed
+
+- **Europe PMC text** ([#181](https://github.com/cyanheads/pubmed-mcp-server/issues/181), [#195](https://github.com/cyanheads/pubmed-mcp-server/issues/195)) — entity-encoded formatting tags (`&lt;i&gt;`) are stripped; a formatting tag right after `.`, `:`, `!`, or `?` reads as a space, so bold or italic abstract headings no longer fuse into the next sentence; PubMed's `<or=` notation is kept as text.
+- **`openalex_invalid_response`** survives exhausted retries instead of being re-stamped `openalex_unreachable` ([#182](https://github.com/cyanheads/pubmed-mcp-server/issues/182)).
+- **Bookshelf chapter dates** ([#189](https://github.com/cyanheads/pubmed-mcp-server/issues/189)) — `pubmed_format_citations` dates a chapter by its last revision, else its contribution, never the book's start year; Vancouver prints both, RIS adds `DA`, and a book still being updated prints an open range (`2000-`), as `pubmed_fetch_articles` `content[]` does (`2000–`). A publisher name that ends in a period (`MDText.com, Inc.`) gains no second one.
+- **Bookshelf chapter summaries** ([#199](https://github.com/cyanheads/pubmed-mcp-server/issues/199)) — `pubDate` on `pubmed_search_articles` and `pubmed_find_related` chapter rows, and the `pubmed_lookup_citation` verification date, come from the chapter's own ESummary `DocDate`.
+- **`pubmed_fetch_articles` Article Dates** — `content[]` zero-pads them for every record (`Electronic 2021-6-8` → `2021-06-08`); `structuredContent` is unchanged.
+- **Nested inline markup** in PubMed titles, abstracts, and keywords — nested `<sup>`/`<sub>`, emphasis inside scripts, and MathML — no longer deletes text or fuses words ([#211](https://github.com/cyanheads/pubmed-mcp-server/issues/211)).
+- **Collective authors** keep their affiliations ([#212](https://github.com/cyanheads/pubmed-mcp-server/issues/212)).
+- **Absent journal fields** are omitted rather than returned as `""` ([#213](https://github.com/cyanheads/pubmed-mcp-server/issues/213)); for a record with no ISO journal abbreviation, `pubmed_format_citations` Vancouver now prints the full journal title where nothing printed before.
+- **A grant with no `GrantID`** shows its acronym beside the agency rather than as the ID ([#214](https://github.com/cyanheads/pubmed-mcp-server/issues/214)).
+- **`pubmed_lookup_citation`** — a journal-less citation ECitMatch cannot match no longer drops every later citation; the rest are re-requested within the call's one deadline and retry budget ([#193](https://github.com/cyanheads/pubmed-mcp-server/issues/193)).
+- **`pubmed_lookup_citation`** reads an integer `year` in a lone citation object as its decimal string ([#198](https://github.com/cyanheads/pubmed-mcp-server/issues/198)), and verification reads ESummary 2.0, so consortium authors join the roster ([#201](https://github.com/cyanheads/pubmed-mcp-server/issues/201)).
+- **JATS table cells and footnotes** keep their line breaks as `\n`, one line per footnote with its label leading, and inline markup is never spaced (`0.108a`); `content[]` joins those lines with ` · ` ([#185](https://github.com/cyanheads/pubmed-mcp-server/issues/185)). In titles, captions, affiliations, and section prose, a `<break/>`, a sibling `<p>` or `<fn>`, or a `<label>` beside its text reads as one space (`1 Division of …`, not `1Division of …`), and a `simple` list keeps each item's label.
+- **JATS affiliations** inside `<contrib-group>` or `<contrib>` are read ([#196](https://github.com/cyanheads/pubmed-mcp-server/issues/196)), and `content[]` lists them as `- ` bullets instead of a numbered list, so a deposited label isn't numbered twice.
+- **Adjacent citation markers** read `[1,2,3,4]`, not `[1234]` ([#197](https://github.com/cyanheads/pubmed-mcp-server/issues/197)).
+- **Nested lists** sit below their parent item, and prose after a nested list keeps its place ([#200](https://github.com/cyanheads/pubmed-mcp-server/issues/200), [#203](https://github.com/cyanheads/pubmed-mcp-server/issues/203)).
+- **Abstracts** — a list starts on its own line ([#202](https://github.com/cyanheads/pubmed-mcp-server/issues/202)), text beside a `<sec>` is kept ([#204](https://github.com/cyanheads/pubmed-mcp-server/issues/204)), and a section title with its own closing punctuation gains no second colon ([#205](https://github.com/cyanheads/pubmed-mcp-server/issues/205)).
+- **Institution ids** (ROR, GRID, Funder DOIs) no longer fuse onto institution names in affiliations and funding statements ([#208](https://github.com/cyanheads/pubmed-mcp-server/issues/208)).
+- **References** — unseparated author names gain `, `, an empty `<etal/>` reads `et al.`, page ranges read `56–71`, and volume and issue `16(1)`; `references[].label` drops its enclosing brackets (`[19]` → `19`) ([#209](https://github.com/cyanheads/pubmed-mcp-server/issues/209)).
+- **Boxed text** opens with a `[Box: …]` line and closes with `[End of box]` ([#210](https://github.com/cyanheads/pubmed-mcp-server/issues/210)).

+# 2.10.21 — 2026-10-09
+
+## Added
+
+- **`pubmed_fetch_fulltext` back matter** ([#206](https://github.com/cyanheads/pubmed-mcp-server/issues/206)) — on the PMC tier, every `<back>` child except `<ref-list>` (acknowledgments, notes and declarations, footnotes, glossary, appendices) becomes a `sections[]` entry after the body, titled by its element when it carries no title or label. `maxSections`, `maxCharacters`, and `sections` treat it as ordinary sections; `maxCharacters` serves it after the body, tables, and assets.
+- **`pubmed_format_citations` `notices`** ([#215](https://github.com/cyanheads/pubmed-mcp-server/issues/215)) — each `citations[]` entry lists the retraction, erratum, and expression-of-concern notices NCBI links to the article, and `content[]` shows them ahead of the citations, opening with a "Retracted" warning when one is a retraction. Vancouver notes each `RetractionIn` and `ErratumIn` after the DOI, and APA adds a retraction parenthetical; MLA, BibTeX, and RIS are unchanged.
+- **`pubmed_fetch_articles` `includeInvestigators`** ([#216](https://github.com/cyanheads/pubmed-mcp-server/issues/216)) — opt-in `investigators[]` with the members NCBI lists for a collective author, uncapped (PMID 33933206 lists 6,349); their affiliations follow the authors' in `affiliations`.
+- **`pubmed_fetch_fulltext` singular id keys** ([#221](https://github.com/cyanheads/pubmed-mcp-server/issues/221)) — `pmcid`, `pmcId`, `pmid`, and `doi` are accepted as aliases of `pmcids`, `pmids`, and `dois`, and a lone string reads as a one-element array.
+- **`pubmed_fetch_fulltext` `overLimit`** ([#222](https://github.com/cyanheads/pubmed-mcp-server/issues/222)) — a call may name up to 50 distinct identifiers; the first 10 are fetched and the rest come back unfetched in `overLimit` (with `truncated: true` and a notice) for a follow-up call.
+
+## Changed
+
+- **Output-only ceilings take no upper bound** ([#223](https://github.com/cyanheads/pubmed-mcp-server/issues/223)) — `maxSections`, `maxCharacters`, `maxCharactersPerSection`, and `maxResponseCharacters` on `pubmed_fetch_fulltext`, and `maxResponseCharacters` on `pubmed_fetch_articles` and `pubmed_europepmc_fetch`, lose their `.max()`; a large value now means no limit instead of -32602. `tools/list` advertises the safe-integer bound.
+- **Error data `url` → `host`** — NCBI external-request and Unpaywall content-fetch errors carry `data.host` where they carried `data.url`. Log keys follow: the Unpaywall `version` is `oaVersion`, and the NCBI init record's `hasApiKey` is `ncbiKeyConfigured`.
+- **Framework 0.13.14 adoption** — `framework-skills/` sync, and the antipattern check's patterns use POSIX space classes.
+- **Tests** — assertions across the suites rewritten to pin exact outputs, so each can fail on a regression; the fuzz harness reports what each phase drove through the handler.
+- **Docs** — the `CITATION.cff` abstract names Europe PMC and Vancouver.
+
+## Fixed
+
+- **MathML-only formulas** ([#207](https://github.com/cyanheads/pubmed-mcp-server/issues/207)) — `pubmed_fetch_fulltext` renders them in TeX-style linear form (`∑_{j=1}^{N}l_{ij}`, matrix cells split by `&` and `\\`) instead of fused leaf text. Formulas with a `<tex-math>` are unchanged.
+- **`pubmed_format_citations` APA and MLA** ([#217](https://github.com/cyanheads/pubmed-mcp-server/issues/217)) — journal titles are title-cased (names like `eLife` and `JAMA` untouched), APA page ranges use an en dash with the elided end expanded, a page equal to the record's article locator prints as `Article <n>` / `art. <n>`, and BibTeX and RIS drop keywords that repeat an earlier one ignoring case.
+- **Bullet-character abstract paragraphs** ([#218](https://github.com/cyanheads/pubmed-mcp-server/issues/218)) — a run of paragraphs opening with `•`, `‣`, `⁃`, or `◦` reads one per line, as a `<list>` does.
+- **References** ([#219](https://github.com/cyanheads/pubmed-mcp-server/issues/219)) — source indentation no longer leaves a space before `.`, `,`, `;`, `:`, `)`, or `]` (`Henry L .` → `Henry L.`).
+- **Reference rendering** — the per-`<pub-id>` prefix check reads a bounded window of the citation rather than all of it, so rendering is linear in the citation's length.
+
+## Security
+
+- **Upstream fetch failures name only the host** — errors, `error.data`, and log records for NCBI, Europe PMC, OpenAlex, and Unpaywall requests carry the upstream host, never the request URL or the API key and contact email its query string carries.
