+# v1.6.0
+
+v1.6.0 is a workflow release for people who write and review markdown side by side.
+
+## added
+
+- Added a separate live preview window for keeping rendered markdown on another display or workspace (#97).
+- Added a small floating preview-pane control for opening the separate preview window without crowding the command palette or toolbar.
+- Added command palette insertions for common markdown blocks: 2x2 tables, 3x3 tables, bulleted lists, numbered lists, and fenced code blocks (#98).
+- Added Traditional Chinese localization (#103).
+
+## improved
+
+- Kept layout/navigation commands grouped under workspace in the command palette, so insert commands stay easier to scan.
+- Updated the welcome and help overlays for the current markdown insertion workflow.
+- Preserved live preview sync when the separate preview window is reopened, focused, or already running.
+- Added visible failure feedback if the separate preview window cannot be created.
+
+## notes
+
+- This release closes #97 and includes the already-closed #98 markdown insertion work.
+- The signed updater setup is unchanged.

+# v1.6.1
+
+v1.6.1 is a small workflow and performance release for working with markdown projects.
+
+## added
+
+- Added automatic folder monitoring so open project trees refresh when files or folders are created, removed, or renamed (#110).
+
+## improved
+
+- Replaced active-file polling with native filesystem watching for faster external edit detection and lower idle work.
+- Lazy-loaded Markdown syntax highlighting so documents without code blocks start with less work.
+- Ignored access and metadata-only filesystem events when refreshing the active document.
+
+## notes

+- The signed updater setup is unchanged.

+# v1.6.2
+
+v1.6.2 is a stability patch for Windows startup and the native filesystem workflow.
+
+## fixed
+
+- Prevented startup hangs when a persisted folder session contains a filesystem root such as `V:\` (#118).
+- Rejected filesystem roots as folder selections and skipped recursive watchers for unsafe restored paths.
+- Cleared both folder-restore keys when an unsafe root is found, while preserving unrelated settings.
+
+## updated
+
+- Updated `serde` to 1.0.229.
+- Updated `serde_json` to 1.0.151.
+- Updated `tauri-plugin-dialog` to 2.7.2.
+- Updated `tauri-plugin-single-instance` to 2.4.3.
+- Updated `window-vibrancy` to 0.8.0.
+
+## thanks
+
+- Thanks to [@Icatme](https://github.com/Icatme) for the Windows reproduction, diagnosis, fix, and regression tests.
+
+## notes
+
+- The signed updater setup is unchanged.
