+# Changelog
+
+What changed in each release of Vantage, newest first.
+
+Releases before 0.7.0 are summarized one section per minor line — `0.6.x`,
+`0.5.x` — rather than one per patch release. The per-patch detail is in the
+commit log.
+
+The format is based on [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.1.0/),
+and this project adheres to [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.html).
+
+## [0.7.1] - 2026-09-27
+
+### Added
+
+**Recent files across all projects on `Shift+R`.** Pressing `Shift+R` opens the
+recent files modal scoped to all configured projects, matching `r` for the
+current project. Rows show their project name and update live via the watcher.
+You can navigate the list with arrow keys or `j` and `k`. See
+[Recently Changed Files](userguide/reference/keyboard-shortcuts.md#recently-changed-files).
+
+**Open picker items in a new tab.** Pressing `Alt+Enter` or `Ctrl+Enter` (or `Cmd+Enter`
+on macOS) in the file picker (`t`, `Shift+T`) or project picker (`Shift+P`) opens
+the highlighted row in a new browser tab. Ctrl-click and middle-click on any row
+work as well. See [File Picker](userguide/reference/keyboard-shortcuts.md#file-picker).
+
+### Fixed
+
+- Build output directories (`target`, `build`, `dist`) and tool caches (`.cache`,
+  `__pycache__`, `.pi`, and test/lint caches) are excluded from file listings,
+  repository discovery, and the filesystem watcher by default. This prevents
+  inotify watch exhaustion and excessive disk I/O while running builds in
+  watched repositories. See [Ignore Files and Live Reload](userguide/reference/configuration.md#ignore-files-and-live-reload).
+- Linked Git worktrees are excluded from repository auto-discovery, directory
+  listings, file picker results, and the live watcher, avoiding duplicate
+  trees and redundant filesystem watches.
+
+## [0.7.0] - 2026-09-23
+
+Vantage now supports color themes and bookmarks, and reads per-project settings
+from `.vantage.toml`.
+
+### Added
+
+**Color themes.** Pick a palette under **Colors** in the settings menu. Six come
+with Vantage: Catppuccin, Gruvbox, Lila, Nord, Solarized, and Tokyo Night, each
+with its own light and dark variants, alongside the default look, now called
+Slate.
+
+To write your own, put a CSS file in `~/.config/vantage/themes/`. It shows up in
+the menu on the next page load, with no restart. Set `theme = "gruvbox"` in your
+config to start every browser in one. A project can suggest a theme in its
+`.vantage.toml`, and your own choice always wins. A theme with no dark colors is
+listed as "(light only)". Every built-in theme keeps its text at 3:1 contrast or
+better in both modes, checked in a real browser; your own themes aren't checked.
+Review mode's comment colors and printing still ignore the theme. See
+[Color Themes](userguide/guides/themes.md).
+
+**Bookmarks.** Click the star next to a document's name to bookmark it. Folders
+work too. Bookmarks appear in a **Starred** section above the file tree. They're
+stored in `~/.local/share/vantage/starred/` instead of in your browser, so they
+survive a restart and show up in every tab. If a bookmarked file disappears, the
+entry stays put and offers to remove itself when you open it.
+
+A project can also list the documents worth reading first in its `.vantage.toml`,
+and you can list files you always want starred in your own config. Those entries
+are marked with a pin and name the file that added them. See
+[Starred](userguide/features.md#starred).
+
+**Open questions in the contents panel.** A document's open questions now appear
+in the table of contents, under the heading they sit below, with a count next to
+**Contents**. `💬 3` means three are waiting on a decision; `💬 1 ✅ 2` means one
+is open and two are answered. Click one to jump to it. See
+[Table of Contents](userguide/features.md#table-of-contents).
+
+### Changed
+
+Settings now follow you between tabs. Before, a second tab read most settings
+once when it loaded and then drifted, so changing the theme in one tab left the
+other on the old one. `Shift+D` had the same problem inside a single tab: it
+changed the page without updating the settings menu. The sidebar and its width,
+the tree filters, the project sort order, light/dark, and the color theme all
+stay in sync now.
+
+Review mode is a deliberate exception. Two tabs are usually on different
+documents, and picking up a toggle from another tab would close the review pane
+while you're partway through a comment.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- The file pickers (`t`, `Shift+T`, `Shift+R`, `Shift+P`) reload their list every
+  time they open, and a picker that's already open keeps up with the filesystem.
+  Before, a file created after the page loaded was unfindable until you
+  reloaded.
+- A modified file's icon was too faint to read in the file tree in light mode.
+- A document that fails to load no longer moves you off the one you're reading,
+  and the error names the file you actually asked for.
+- A slow response for a document you've already navigated away from is thrown
+  away instead of replacing what you're reading.
+- `vantage-check check --config <a directory>` now says
+  `docs is a directory, not a config file` and exits 2, instead of printing a
+  stack trace.
+

+
+Thanks to [@nichiflu](https://github.com/nichiflu) for the initial color-theme
+implementation.
+
+### Works well with
+
+[matt-craft](https://github.com/mschulkind-oss/matt-craft) is out — the skills I use to
+write the documents I then read in Vantage: design notes that carry their open
+questions, roadmaps, research rounds, user stories, and one for Vantage's own Markdown
+conventions. It is not part of Vantage and Vantage does not need it. If you write your
+own documents your own way, nothing here changes for you.
+
+## 0.6.x
+
+_0.6.0 – 0.6.2, September 2026._
+
+Long documents have a table of contents. The list button beside the breadcrumb
+shows the document's headings in the left margin, and the list stays put while
+you scroll. The button beside it lets the text fill the pane. The reading band
+moved to the left edge too, so the file list, the contents, and the text sit
+together.
+
+- Serving a git repository no longer makes the browser reload itself once a
+  second. Vantage's own `git status` calls rewrote `.git/index`, and the watcher
+  read that as your edit.
+- A repository cloned under one of your `source_dirs` shows up within thirty
+  seconds, with no restart. One whose directory goes away is dropped, then
+  picked back up when it returns. See
+  [Daemon Mode](userguide/guides/daemon-mode.md).
+- A port you name is bound exactly or startup fails. Only the default 8000 walks
+  to the next free port, and it tells you which one it took.
+- Images on adjacent lines render on one row, the way GitHub lays them out. A
+  README's badges used to stack into a column.
+- `vantage-check` splits a run across worker threads by default, and the report
+  reads the same either way.
+
+### Contributors
+
+Thanks to Eduardo Hidalgo ([@edus44](https://github.com/edus44)) for the table
+of contents, the Vantage favicon, and fixes to port selection and spurious
+browser reloads.
+
+## 0.5.x
+
+_0.5.0 – 0.5.10, May to September 2026._
+
+Vantage stopped being a Python server and became one Go binary. The viewer and
+the shortcuts are the same; installing it is not. You install it with `brew
+install`, `uvx vantage-md ~/notes`, or a platform archive from a release.
+`vantage serve` opens your browser, and `--no-open` stops it.
+
+- `vantage-check` is new. It runs your documents through the viewer's own
+  pipeline and reports dead links, dead anchors, broken mermaid diagrams, and
+  style problems. See [vantage-check](userguide/guides/vantage-check.md).
+- You can mark a document up with `<!-- vantage: … -->` comments that GitHub
+  ignores and Vantage reads: a status chip beside a heading, collapsible
+  sections, emphasis, and badges. GitHub's alert blocks render too.
+- Review mode was rebuilt. A comment anchors to a whole block, replies thread, a
+  rail shows where the comments are, and you can answer an open question in one
+  click. Agents reply through a `.vantage/` directory. See
+  [The `.vantage/` directory](userguide/guides/review-inbox.md).
+- The "What's New" popup, the changed-document highlight, and the jj history
+  viewer were removed.
+- `.vantageignore` and `~/.config/vantage/ignore` keep files out of the tree, and
+  the sidebar has a drag handle that remembers its width.
+
+## 0.4.x
+
+_0.4.0 – 0.4.2, April 2026._
+
+Installing Vantage got short. `uvx vantage-md ~/notes` started the server and
+opened your browser at the directory you named, and naming a file landed on that
+file with the sidebar already expanded. There was a Homebrew formula as well.
+macOS became a platform Vantage was tested on.
+
+- Review mode became per file. Turning it on for one document no longer followed
+  you to the next, and the toggle survived a reload even before you had written a
+  comment.
+- Hovering any paragraph in review mode put a button in the gutter, so you could
+  comment on a whole block without selecting text first.
+- You could edit a comment in place, from the document or from the sidebar.
+  Resolved comments collapsed into one indicator instead of asking to be
+  dismissed one at a time.
+- A comment you had just written was sometimes marked "Outdated" immediately.
+- `log_level` in the config, `VANTAGE_LOG_LEVEL` in the environment. The watcher
+  reported your inotify limits at startup and warned near the ceiling, which is
+  the usual reason live reload stops working.
+
+## 0.3.x
+
+_0.3.0 – 0.3.8, April 2026._
+
+This is the line that added review mode. You turned it on for a document,
+selected some text, and left a comment. The server stored the comments, so they
+survived a restart. When the text under a comment changed, the comment turned
+amber and said "Outdated". Every save while review mode was on snapshotted the
+previous version, so you could step back through revisions and see which
+paragraphs had changed. One button copied every comment as Markdown quotes, with
+line numbers and surrounding context, ready to paste to an agent.
+
+- Opening a project no longer waited for its file tree. The document rendered
+  first and the sidebar filled in behind it.
+- Headings got hover anchors, and `#L42` or `#L42-L50` in the URL scrolled to
+  those source lines and highlighted them.
+- You could collapse the sidebar to give the document the window, and reveal
+  hidden or gitignored files with new toggles.
+- TOML frontmatter between `+++` fences was parsed and shown, with taxonomies and
+  extra fields as tag pills.
+- A red banner with a timer appeared when the page lost its connection, so a
+  document that had stopped live-reloading said so.
+
+## 0.2.x and earlier
+
+_0.0.1 – 0.2.0, February to March 2026._
+
+Where Vantage started. It served the Markdown in your git repositories over a
+local port and reloaded the page when you saved: GitHub-flavored Markdown,
+syntax highlighting, KaTeX math, mermaid diagrams you could click to zoom,
+commit history and diffs, a fuzzy file picker on `t`, dark mode on `Shift+D`,
+vim-style scrolling, and a print stylesheet. It could also export a static site
+to host on Cloudflare Pages or S3. The server was written in Python then.
+
+- `Shift+T` searched files across every project, `P` switched projects, `r` and
+  `Shift+R` found recently modified files, and `y` copied the current file's
+  absolute path.
+- `source_dirs` in the config found every git repository under a directory, so
+  you did not have to list them one by one.
+- The project picker became a full page, with repository names, relative
+  timestamps, and a toggle between alphabetical and recent order.
+- A "What's New" popup showed the changelog the first time you opened a new
+  version. You could turn it off in settings. Vantage dropped it in 0.5.
+- A jj history and evolution viewer sat beside the git one, for Jujutsu
+  repositories. That went in 0.5 too.
