 ## [Unreleased]
 
+## [0.1.2] - 2026-10-20
+
+### Added
+
+- The first time Footer Dock starts for a user who never chose an icon set, it says once what to do if the icons look like empty boxes (`/dock-glyphs`, or install a Nerd Font). It is remembered in the settings file as `glyphHintShown`; a settings file that had to be ignored is never rewritten for this. The README now says in the Install section that the icons need a Nerd Font. **New setting:** `glyphHintShown` (written automatically; you never need to set it). Versions before 0.1.2 reject a settings file that contains it, so after going back to 0.1.1 or 0.1.0 delete that line.
+- The package manifest now names the launch video (`pi.video`), so the package page on pi.dev can play it. The video is hosted by GitHub as an attachment (the same one the README plays); it is not part of the npm package.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- The cost screen's bar of dollars by category sat directly under the "This session" and "This month" lines; there is now a blank row between them, as on the other screens.
+
+## [0.1.1] - 2026-10-19
+
+### Changed
+
+- The branch is shown from the first draw (Pi already knows it); the file and commit counts follow as soon as Git has been read.
+- The extension now loads from one bundled JavaScript file (`dist/index.js`) instead of about 180 TypeScript modules that Pi had to transpile on every start and `/reload`. `/reload` went from about 1.3 s to under 0.1 s, and the footer first appears in about 0.3 to 0.8 s after start instead of 2.3 s (measured in an isolated Pi). The package is smaller (9 files, about 110 kB).
+
+### Fixed
+
+- A folder that is not a Git repository no longer shows "Git unavailable": there is nothing to show, so the Git items are simply absent and the space is free. "Git unavailable" is kept for the real failures (Git missing, or a repository too large to read).
+- Status lines that other extensions set with `ctx.ui.setStatus` were hidden once Footer Dock replaced Pi's footer. They are now shown on a last line, as Pi's own footer does (sorted by key, cut to the width; colours kept, other terminal escape sequences removed). Nothing changes for extensions: no registration is needed.

 The Git items watch the repository for changes. If a repository is too large to watch (thousands of directories), Footer Dock falls back to reading Git after each Pi action and says so in the item's explanation; it never shows a number it did not read.
 
+## Other extensions' status lines
+
+Extensions that show a status with Pi's `setStatus` keep working: Footer Dock shows those texts on one extra line at the bottom, exactly where Pi's own footer would, and the line is absent while nothing sets a status. Extensions that want proper places, settings and explanations register with Footer Dock instead (next section).
+
 ## For other extensions
 
 Extensions can have Footer Dock manage their footer items, settings and explanations, and Footer Dock needs to know nothing about them: see **[docs/extending-footer-dock.md](docs/extending-footer-dock.md)**.
