 Full release notes for all Utilix surfaces (browser tools, REST API, SDKs, MCP server) live at [utilix.tech/changelog](https://utilix.tech/changelog). This file tracks just this package.
 
+## 0.85.0
+- Add `calculate_credit_card_minimum_payment` tool: simulate paying only the minimum payment on a revolving credit card balance, where the minimum is the larger of a percent of the balance or a fixed dollar floor, and report months/years to payoff, total interest, and total paid.
+- Add `check_dash_usage` tool: scan text for likely dash misuse: a hyphen surrounded by spaces, an unconverted double hyphen, and inconsistent spacing around em dashes across the same document.
+
+## 0.84.0
+- Add `find_cron_overlaps` tool: walk minute-by-minute over a window of days and flag every minute where two or more cron schedules fire at once, listing which expressions collided.
+- Add `lint_dockerfile` tool: lint a Dockerfile for an unpinned or `:latest` base image, a final stage missing WORKDIR or USER, and ADD used on a plain local file where COPY would do.
+
 ## 0.83.0
 - Add `extract_markdown_link_references` tool: extract reference-style Markdown links (`[text][ref]`, the `[text][]` shortcut, and `![alt][ref]` image references) and match them against their `[ref]: url` definitions, flagging unresolved references and unused definitions.
 - Add `extract_prompt_template_variables` tool: extract `{{variable}}`-style placeholders from a prompt template, report occurrence counts, flag duplicates, and optionally cross-check against a list of provided variable names.
