package/CHANGELOG.md

@@ -4,6 +4,20 @@ All notable changes to **node-red-contrib-modbus-modpackqt** are documented
 here. This project follows [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/) — pin a
 major version (`^2.0.0`) in production.
 
+## [3.3.11] — 2026-05-10
+
+### Changed
+
+- **Config dialog is now picker-only.** Hand-edited Target Device
+  (IP / Port / Unit ID), Transport (Mode / Serial / Baud / Parity /
+  Timeout) and the collapsible embedded-slave-server section have all
+  been removed from the runtime config dialog. Everything is set by
+  the **My Connections** picker, which auto-fills hidden fields the
+  runtime still uses. Same dialog appears regardless of whether you
+  open it from a master-read, master-write, or master-probe node.
+  To run an embedded Modbus TCP slave, drop a `modpackqt-slave-server`
+  node onto the canvas (it has its own My Slaves picker).
