+# Changelog
+
+## 0.2.0
+
+- New `arcade-onboarding` skill, read with `arcade guide onboarding`: puts a creator's existing games on the arcade, from sign-in first to their profile link, with one dry run and one go for the whole batch.
+- `arcade guide [skill]` prints any of the five skills into the agent's chat, so installing never needs an agent restart. `arcade guide --list` lists them.
+- `arcade login` opens the sign-in page in your browser (`--no-browser` to only print it), and on approval prints your profile address and points back to onboarding.
+- Validation errors say what to produce: a missing thumbnail says to capture a 1280x720 frame of real play and where to save it, and a folder without arcade.json gets the list of fields to write.
+- Demos come with a GIF. `arcade publish` and `arcade media preview` cut a looping `media/preview.gif` from the demo with ffmpeg and set the new `preview_gif` field; a game with a demo can't publish without one. `arcade media gif` remakes just the GIF.
+- A signed-out `arcade publish --dry-run` still runs every local check and prints its Heads up list, then asks you to sign in.
+- The dry run's Heads up list also flags missing controls, a missing demo, and a preview or GIF older than the demo.
+
+## 0.1.1
+
+- Every game on Evolutionary Arcade is open source under MIT. `arcade publish` says so before it publishes, and refuses an `arcade.json` whose `license` is anything but `"MIT"` (leaving it out means MIT).
+- `arcade new`, `fork`, `blend`, and `regen` write a `LICENSE` in your name. A fork keeps its parent's LICENSE under `licenses/<slug>/`, and `pull` and `blend` add the creator's LICENSE to a download that has none. If you weren't logged in yet, `arcade publish` puts your handle in.
+- `arcade publish` stops on a license file at the top of the folder (`LICENSE`, `COPYING`, and the like) that isn't MIT. The arcade checks the same thing when it receives a publish.
+- The package no longer links to a source repository. Questions and bug reports: hello@evolutionaryarcade.com.
+
+## 0.1.0

+- First release.
