 ## Unreleased
 
+## 0.3.0 — 2026-08-20
+
+- MCP/CLI **`list`**: catalog notes (id, first line, tags, `created_at`,
+  `updated_at`, path) without embeddings. Optional tag filter and limit.
+- `status` includes `tag_counts`, `unindexed_count`, and `recall_will_reindex`
+  so a stale index is not mistaken for corrupt notes.
+- `recall` hits include `created_at` and `updated_at`. Notes store `updated_at`
+  in frontmatter (older notes fall back to `created_at`).
+- Default `min_score` is `0.2` (MCP, CLI, `MEMEX_MIN_SCORE`). Pass `0` to
+  disable. Recall payload includes the floor used.
+- `remember(..., replaces=id)` updates that note in place. New inserts return
+  `conflicts` for near-hits at cosine ≥ 0.50 that were not merged. Agent
+  prompts tell agents to replace or forget instead of stacking a second note.
+- Pin `mcp>=1.0.0,<2` so installs do not pull MCP Python SDK v2, which removed
+  `mcp.server.fastmcp` and broke `memex serve`.
+
 ## 0.2.2 — 2026-07-27
