+## 0.8.2 — 2026-09-02
+
+### Fixed
+
+- **The five graph shaders keep one picture at every canvas size.** Their point
+  size was in device pixels and their grid is a fixed 256 by 256, so a point
+  covered a smaller share of a bigger canvas: `dunes`, `ferro`, `chladni`,
+  `maelstrom` and `pulsar` read as a dense field on a small card and thinned
+  out to specks on a fullscreen hero — and, at twice the pixels, to half the
+  light. The point now grows with the canvas above 240 device pixels of
+  height, which is what a catalogue card draws at, and never shrinks below the
+  two pixels it already was. A card is untouched; everything larger now shows
+  the same picture it does. Measured on the site's own stills, `dunes` at
+  1000 by 625 went from 3% of full brightness to 15%, and `ferro` from 3% to
+  12% — the difference between a black rectangle and a picture.
+
+### Changed
+
+- **`ferro` shows its crown before the pointer has moved.** A pointer that has
+  never moved reports the exact centre of the frame, and this camera
+  unprojects the centre to the horizon, so the crown of spikes the shader is
+  named for rose two hundred world units away and read as a smudge of light. It
+  now rests low in the frame, near enough to the camera to see. Any pointer a
+  reader actually moves is honoured exactly as before.
+
+## 0.8.1 — 2026-09-01
+
+### Changed
+
+- **`pulsar` opens on a picture instead of a white blob.** Its exposure was
+  set as if the globe were a thin field of points, but sixty-five thousand
+  additive splats share a small circle of screen there, so the core burned out
+  and took the whole sphere with it — a saturated white ball on grey, with none
+  of the surface visible. Intensity drops from 2.29 to 0.7 and saturation comes
+  back up from 0.06 to 1.1, so the dotted surface, the green rim and the pulled
+  side all read. The vignette deepens to settle it into the dark. The Bands
+  well also sat at 0, which meant the sweeping light the shader is named for
+  never appeared until you moved a slider; it now opens at 0.45.
+
 ## 0.8.0 — 2026-09-01
 
 Five shaders that are render graphs rather than a single pass, a mesh gradient
