 # CHANGELOG
 
 
+## v0.7.1 (2026-04-08)
+
+### Bug Fixes
+
+- **cli**: Give --pane error paths actionable recovery guidance
+  ([`f857c32`](https://github.com/CaptainCrouton89/termrender/commit/f857c32c89afe32a3a668f03a3d570b0f14dae97))
+
+The two --pane error paths now tell the agent how to recover instead of restating the problem.
+  "Check that the pane id is valid" is a dead end for an agent — it needs either a command to list
+  valid pane ids (tmux list-panes) or a fallback (spawn a fresh pane via --tmux).
+
+
+## v0.7.0 (2026-04-08)
+
+### Features
+
+- **cli**: Add --pane for in-place tmux pane updates
+  ([`4ab1d77`](https://github.com/CaptainCrouton89/termrender/commit/4ab1d77b996aa356926407dcc11c1b408e68e0ee))
+
+--tmux now prints the newly-created pane id to stdout (via split-window -P -F) so callers can
+  capture it for subsequent updates. --pane <ID> targets an existing pane via tmux respawn-pane -k
+  instead of spawning a new one — the existing process is killed and replaced with the new render.
+  This lets agents synchronously re-render a doc on every edit without spawning fresh panes or
+  relying on --watch polling.
+
+Also in this commit: - Expand -h epilog to cover the 8 visualization directives (stat, bar,
+  progress, gauge, diff, timeline, tasklist, inline badge) and rewrite the nesting note to describe
+  the strict colon-count rule. The previous epilog only documented the base directives and said
+  "every opener needs a matching :::", which contradicts the actual parser behavior. - Render
+  tasklist checkboxes as filled/empty dots (● / ○ / ◐) instead of boxed glyphs (☑ / ☐ / ◐).
+

 nesting:
-  Directives nest arbitrarily. Every opener needs a matching :::
-  except :::divider which is self-closing.
+  Outer fences must use STRICTLY MORE colons than the inner fences they
+  wrap. Closers are paired by colon count; a wrong-count closer is silently
+  re-parsed as body content. Use --check to validate.
 
-  :::panel{title="Outer"}
-  :::callout{type="info"}
-  Nested content here.
+  ::::columns          ← 4 colons (outer)
+  :::col{width="50%"}  ← 3 colons (inner)
+  Left content.
   :::
+  :::col{width="50%"}
+  Right content.
   :::
+  ::::
+
+  divider, progress, and gauge are self-closing ONLY at the top level —
+  nested inside another directive they need an explicit closer.
