@@ -4,6 +4,16 @@ All notable changes to **node-red-contrib-modbus-modpackqt** are documented

 major version (`^2.0.0`) in production.
 
+## [3.3.13] — 2026-05-10
+
+### Removed
+
+- **Embedded slave server section gone from the master config dialog.**
+  Redundant — the standalone `modpackqt-slave-server` canvas node already
+  owns its own port, register store, and My Slaves picker. Existing
+  legacy slave settings on a config node are preserved on disk so older
+  flows won't lose data, just hidden from the editor.
