 ## Unreleased
 
+## 0.9.4
+
+- Updated transitive brace-expansion dependencies within their existing major versions to address high-severity denial-of-service advisories
+- Unified non-editor tooltips with a consistent 500 ms hover delay, opaque backgrounds, and normal UI typography
+- Restored tooltips for folder controls and fixed placement and duplicate tooltips on previous/next file buttons
+- Stabilized tooltip behavior across icon children, keyboard focus, dynamic labels, and modal dialogs
+- Fixed commit-detail hover transitions and Escape dismissal, and normalized commit action menu styling
+
+macOS desktop downloads are unsigned and not notarized. If Gatekeeper reports
+the app as damaged, run `xattr -cr /Applications/Bygone.app`, then reopen it.
+
+## 0.9.3
+
+- Made commit rows toggle comparison selection, with jump and detail actions available from the context menu
+- Added fuller commit details on hover, including the commit message, author, date, revision, and parents
+- Added tooltip coverage across toolbar controls and tour coverage indicators
+
+## 0.9.2
+
+- Documented the stable v3 tour contract, compatibility policy, and evidence-linked review notes
+- Updated Electron and vulnerable packaging dependencies within their existing major versions
+- Shared the expanded commit navigator across tours, History, and Compare, with explicit draft submission and loaded-panel badges
+- Kept History's commit axis and expanded panels stable across files, with markers for commits that changed the current file
+- Preserved navigator tabs and comparison drafts across mode switches
+- Replaced tour mode and comparison endpoint drop-downs with direct mode buttons and multi-select revision comparison
+- Added two-or-more-panel Compare views ordered from oldest to newest with adjacent diffs
+- Unified Present navigation into one Tour, Files, or Commits navigator
+- Made tours a continuous reading flow through title, chapters, scene overviews, and steps, with a collapsible outline and scene context above each step
+- Added shared workspace tour discovery, editable skill-based v3 authoring prompts, and same-repository transitions into History
+- Clarified tour mode restoration and directory overview scope while preserving first-visit History context
+
+macOS desktop downloads are unsigned and not notarized. If Gatekeeper reports
+the app as damaged, run `xattr -cr /Applications/Bygone.app`, then reopen it.
+
+## 0.9.1
+
+- Restored authored Final walkthroughs and legacy Final deep links for version 2 deconstructed tours
+- Reused the full revision rail and toolbar in tour History mode while preserving the selected file on first entry
+- Expanded Files and Tour details by default and kept Scene context available alongside the active step
+
+## 0.9.0
+
+- Added independently authored Historical and Deconstructed tours with stable per-mode reading positions
+- Added optional scene-level directory overviews with safe repository-relative scoping and authored comparison endpoints
+- Added evidence-linked review notes for concepts, boundaries, tradeoffs, and open questions
+- Introduced source and manifest format v3 for the new tour metadata while preserving v1 and v2 compatibility
+
 ## 0.8.16
 
 - Clarified authored-tour errors when a document requires a newer format version
