 ## Changes
 
+* 1.2.2 (2025-10-01)
+  - Set "last seen" timestamp of nodes based on packet payloads, not the time they're received
+  - Send timestamp with telemetry
+  - Fixed issue with persising node-to-vessel matches from `DE <callsign>`
+* 1.2.1 (2025-09-28)
+  - Fixed issue with Signal K servers that don't have navigation.position set
 * 1.2.0 (2025-09-28)
+  - Support for Node.js older than 22.x, for example as seen in Venus OS Large
   - Safety for nodes in DB that don't have a "last seen" timestamp
   - Made connection status notifications clearer
-  - Attempt at support for Node.js older than 22.x
 * 1.1.2 (2025-09-25)
   - Added support for the new roles from Meshtastic 2.7 (`ROUTER_LATE` and `CLIENT_BASE`)
   - Fixed issue with sending a bell with alerts that have sound enabled
