+## [2.0.6] - 2026-10-10
+
+### Added
+
+- **Configurable poll floor.** `new InstaAPI(cookie, { minPollIntervalMs })` (and
+  the same option on `InstaClient`) sets the lowest interval `listen()` will
+  honour, defaulting to 15000 ms as before with a hard 2000 ms minimum.
+  Instagram has no DM push, so reply latency is one poll cycle; operators on a
+  residential/mobile proxy can lower it (e.g. 2000) for snappier replies.
+  `api.listen(cb, interval)` still cannot go below this floor, so the bot can no
+  longer pass an interval the package silently raises.
+
+## [2.0.5] - 2026-10-10
+
+### Fixed
+
+- **Empty text send logged the account out.** `MessageMethods.send()` now drops
+  an empty (or whitespace-only) body instead of firing an
+  `IGDirectTextSendMutation` with an empty `sensitive_string_value`. Instagram
+  answers that with a 302 to the login page, which the HTTP layer classifies as
+  `IG_SESSION_INVALID`, so a command that built an empty reply (for example
+  `adduser` handed a username it could not resolve) made the poller stop and
+  report the session as dead. The dropped send returns
+  `{ messageID: null, dropped: "empty" }`.
