 ## [Unreleased]
 
+## [1.5.2] — 2026-09-21
+
+### Changed
+
+- **Troubleshooting now covers the `npm ERR!` wall on install.** It is
+  `usocket`, an optional native dependency of `dbus-next` by way of `node-ble`,
+  whose build uses a `node-gyp` too old for Node 22. Optional is the operative
+  word: npm reports it, carries on, and `dbus-next` uses its own socket
+  implementation — which is what this plugin has always run on.
+
+## [1.5.1] — 2026-09-21
+
+### Added
+
+- **Funding links**: GitHub Sponsors and PayPal, in `package.json` where npm
+  and the Homebridge UI read them, and in `.github/FUNDING.yml` for the Sponsor
+  button on the repository page.

+**Installing or updating prints a wall of `npm ERR!` and works anyway.** That
+is `usocket`, an *optional* native dependency of `dbus-next`, which reaches
+here through `node-ble`. Its build uses a version of `node-gyp` too old for
+Node 22 and fails with `Cannot assign to read only property 'cflags'`. Because
+it is optional, npm reports the failure and carries on, and nothing here needs
+it — `dbus-next` falls back to its own socket implementation, which is what
+this plugin has always run on. There is nothing to fix at this end; the noise
+comes from two dependencies further down.

 **"No D-Bus system bus"** means BlueZ is not reachable: you are not on Linux, or
 you are in a container without `/var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket` mounted.
