 All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.
 
+## 2.6.21 - 2026-08-09
+
+### Changed
+
+- Startup now logs the previously detected schema version, the current app version, and whether migrations are required.
+- The schema documentation now reflects the timetable table rename, the new `o_app_state` table, and startup version tracking.
+- Timetable timezone placeholders now use `tz` for the short zone name and `tz_long` for the full IANA zone.
+
+## 2.6.20 - 2026-08-09
+
+### Changed
+
+- Startup now logs the previously detected schema version, the current app version, and whether migrations are required.
+
+## 2.6.19 - 2026-08-09
+
+### Changed
+
+- Timetable editor helpers, routes, and table layout now use timetable-specific naming and tighter card/table styling.
+- Connected clients now sort by client identity fields instead of the old IP-based ordering assumption.
+
+## 2.6.18 - 2026-08-09
+
+### Changed
+
+- Timetable tables were renamed from the old `schedule` names to `timetable` names, and existing databases now rename those tables during migration.
+- The timetable group editor now uses timetable-specific naming in its shared helpers and keeps the entries table aligned with the standard admin card/table layout.
+
+## 2.6.17 - 2026-08-09
+
+### Changed
+
+- Existing timetable groups and entries are now migrated to Europe/London, and timetable dates are rewritten to UTC using that source timezone so the wall-clock meaning stays intact.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- New timetable groups now default to Europe/London so the timetable editor and saved data start from the same timezone assumption as the migrated rows.
+
+## 2.6.16 - 2026-08-09
+
+### Changed
+
+- Timetable groups now store an IANA time zone and render their entry datetimes in that timetable time zone, so schedules keep the same wall-clock meaning when they are edited from another country.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- Timetable entry date inputs now round-trip through the timetable time zone instead of the browser locale, so saving from Florida while targeting Germany keeps the intended local times.
+
+## 2.6.15 - 2026-08-08
+
+### Fixed
+
+- Slide update media sync on the player now removes uploads that were removed from the slide, so player storage stays aligned with the current slide content.
+- Routine player and player-bridge media upload/delete logs were removed to keep remote player and bridge operation quieter.
+- Background task descriptions no longer repeat the player slug when the task key already ends with that player name.
+
+## 2.6.14 - 2026-08-08
+
+### Fixed
+
+- Slide updates and template deletes now fan out media sync work across all live players instead of targeting only one player.
+
+## 2.6.13 - 2026-08-08
+
+### Fixed
+
+- The player bundle now keeps the browser-only QR export dependencies lazy-loaded, so the remote player image no longer needs `puppeteer-core` or `@sparticuz/chromium` at startup.
+- Remote player startup sync now falls back to `WEB_INTERNAL_URL` when it is configured, which avoids 404s when the bridge is not the correct sync target.
+- The player startup sync and media-write info logs were removed to keep normal remote-player operation quieter.
+
+## 2.6.12 - 2026-08-08
+
+### Fixed
+
+- The Docker build inputs now live under `build/`, with separate web and player package manifests so the player image no longer carries the web browser tooling bundle.
+- The Docker publish workflow now restores `v2` and `v2.2` style image tags alongside `latest` and the full release tag.
+- Remote player sync and upload routing now carry the exact connected player device id through the bridge, so startup media and font jobs target the correct player instance in split-device deployments.
+- Player websocket registration now learns the public base URL from the actual screen request origin, so localhost and 127.0.0.1 aliases both keep websocket commands working.
+
+## 2.6.11 - 2026-08-08
+
+### Fixed
+
+- Role edits now save selected permissions from the shared RBAC form, so changes on the role page persist when you submit the form.
+- RBAC permission sections now stay open independently in the accordion, so opening one section no longer closes the others.
+
 ## 2.6.10 - 2026-08-08
 
 ### Fixed

 ## Notes
 
 - The schema is initialized with `CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS`, so new installs can start from an empty database.
 - `src/db/bootstrap.js` seeds the canvas size defaults, default permissions, and the default administrator role.
-- The migration module stays in place for future releases, but this version treats the current schema as the install baseline.
+- `src/db/migrations.js` records the current schema version in `o_app_state` during startup so later launches can tell whether an update is happening.
