 # Changelog
 
+## 0.11.0
+
+- Added experimental JS/TS and Python symbol evidence with declaration diffs, symbol trees, analysis diagnostics, and shared Files/Symbols navigation
+- Added pinned symbol tour stops and full-file context in live presentations and portable exports
+- Added the local Strand declaration matcher for JS/TS, Python, Java, Go, Rust, C#, Ruby, PHP, C, Lua, and experimental Mojo, with bounded analysis and explicit ambiguity reporting
+- Kept Java and RefactoringMiner optional: exact-only generation records partial coverage, and Strand provides local inference without a JVM
+- Added opt-in VS Code active-editor following with a live HEAD-to-buffer diff, Pin/Resume/Refresh controls, and safe handoffs to history and manual comparison
+- Fixed following for macOS directory aliases and files at the 5,000-line limit, with regression coverage on current and minimum-supported VS Code
+- Hardened correspondence artifact validation, parser budgets, and symbol owner matching
+- Updated Electron, DOMPurify, fast-uri, and packaging dependencies to resolve security advisories
+
+macOS desktop downloads are unsigned and not notarized. If Gatekeeper reports
+the app as damaged, run `xattr -cr /Applications/Bygone.app`, then reopen it.
+
+## 0.10.2
+
+- Prioritized matching named lines before brackets to preserve block correspondences across nesting and indentation changes
+- Aligned changed indentation highlights to the start of each line while preserving highlights on edited text
+
 ## 0.10.1
 
 - Fixed desktop tours showing unstyled HTML after temporary asset cleanup during long-running app sessions

 undo, save, and external-document updates. Historical and non-local inputs are
 read-only. Desktop hand-offs are unavailable in remote extension hosts.
 
+## Follow the active VS Code editor
+
+Run **Bygone: Follow Active Editor** to open one read-only comparison beside your
+source editor without moving keyboard focus. Switching source files updates that
+same pane. The left side is the file at HEAD; the right side is your editor buffer,
+including unsaved edits. Edit, undo, and save in the source editor as usual.
+
+**Pin** keeps the current file and baseline commit while buffer edits continue to
+update. **Resume Following** selects the active or last source editor. **Refresh**
+reads HEAD again when following; a pinned comparison retains its baseline. HEAD
+also refreshes on file activation and when the VS Code window regains focus.
+After external Git changes while the window stays focused, use Refresh.
+
+The controls show the repository, relative file path, commit, and saved/unsaved
+state. Clean files say **No changes from HEAD**. Untracked files, files absent at
+the current path in HEAD, and unborn repositories use an explicitly absent
+baseline. Renames are compared at the new path; following does not infer history.
+**View File History** pauses following and opens the history viewer. **Manual
+Compare…** pauses following and compares the source with another selected file.
+Closing the pane stops following. A restored pane starts paused after reload.
+
+Following supports trusted local Git worktrees, including linked worktrees and
+files in multiple repositories. Both versions must be text, at most 128 KiB and
+5,000 lines; Git baselines must be UTF-8. Untitled, remote, virtual, notebook,
+symlink, binary, and oversized files show an unavailable state. Open the source
+file outside a native SCM diff to follow it. Git failures clear the old comparison
+and show an error instead of treating a failed read as an empty baseline.
+
 ## Limitations
 
 - Bygone is intentionally diff-focused; merge tooling is not exposed as a product feature.
