+- When changing bundled library versions, update the About page source data from the same package metadata or vendored asset banner rather than hardcoding a fresh literal.

 - Keep database migration versions aligned with the release they actually belong to.
 - If only part of a migration batch belongs to a newer release, split that batch into a separate migration entry instead of relabeling the earlier release.

+
+### Fixed
+
+- Fixed the weather forecast preview to show only its first-fetch message until a successful forecast is available.
+
+## 2.10.1 - 2026-08-28
+
+### Added
+
+- Added linear gradient backgrounds to templates, including multiple colours and angle control.

+
+### Added
+

+
+## 2.9.0 - 2026-08-28
+
+### Added
+

+- Added separate Allow permissions for manually refreshing API sources, RSS feeds, and weather locations.
+
+### Changed
+
+- API, RSS, and Weather refresh jobs now skip disabled sources across scheduled, startup, queued, and manual refresh paths, while re-enabling a source resumes refresh scheduling.
+- Weather placeholders now show all current fields, or all fields for the first daily/hourly entry before the remaining entries in a Show more section.
+- Weather previews, player playback, and slide thumbnails now use cached Weather data and consistent text/icon sizing.
+- API, RSS, and Weather lists now show enabled status and their forms provide action-oriented Enable/Disable controls.

+- Weather locations can now be duplicated from the weather list.
+- Startup data-source refreshes now respect each API, RSS, and weather source's configured repull interval.

+- Added AdminLTE extended palette colours to announcement colour choices and player rendering.

+
+### Added
+
+- Added configurable JSON POST requests and two-step login-then-token authentication for API sources.

+
+### Fixed

+- Collapsed nested API response JSON sections by default while keeping the root response visible.
+
+## 2.8.5 - 2026-08-17

+- Replaced unavailable webpage thumbnails with a subdued placeholder while keeping live webpage previews intact.
+
+## 2.8.4 - 2026-08-17
+
+### Added
+
+- Added local caching for API and RSS image placeholders under `player-cache/remote-images` for offline player playback.
+- Added reconciliation of cached remote images so files no longer referenced by slides are removed.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- Fixed popup preview authentication for background thumbnail capture.
+- Fixed thumbnails so they use the same popup-preview canvas and resolve API/RSS placeholders, fonts, styles, and cached images correctly.
+- Fixed manual scheduled-task run notifications so they use task-neutral wording.
+
+## 2.8.3 - 2026-08-17
+
+### Added
+
+- Added API, RSS, Timetable, and Time / Date placeholder help panels with shared transform and date-token documentation.
+- Added render-time API and RSS image placeholders with proportional sizing and preview-only bounding boxes.
+
+### Changed
+
+- API and RSS regions now preserve authored content when no data source is selected and remain blank when a selected source has no authored content.
+- Normal WYSIWYG image insertion remains upload-backed and separate from image placeholder transforms.
+
+## 2.8.2 - 2026-08-16
+
+### Changed
+
+- Standardized update audit events on from/to changes and added readable table diffs for nested JSON, arrays, null values, and empty strings.
+- Standardized internal `src/data` imports on the `#src` alias.
+
+## 2.8.1 - 2026-08-16
+
+### Fixed
+

+- Prevented partial timetable schemas from being incorrectly treated as fully migrated during schema version detection.
+
+### Changed
+
+- Renamed the built-in administrator role key to `super-admin`, while allowing its display name and description to be edited without being overwritten on restart.

+- The database foundation for key-based application settings, including typed defaults and validation.
+
+### Changed
+

+- Renamed the System Settings audit category key from `settings` to `system-settings`.
+- Split audit administration events into separate Users and Roles categories.
+- Split RSS and API data-source refresh defaults.
+- Made the default announcement duration use a value and unit selector, matching announcement forms.
+- Replaced password strength presets with customizable length, category, and character requirements.
+- Session expiration now uses the configured system setting, and user and role administration is grouped under the Settings area.
+- Renamed the system settings permissions to the `system-settings.*` namespace and migrated existing role assignments.
+- Added numeric auto-increment identifiers to every table and retained natural or relationship keys as unique constraints.
+
+## 2.7.6 - 2026-08-15
+
+### Changed
+
+- The announcement icon picker now supports searching the full Bootstrap Icons catalog while still showing the curated suggestion set by default.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- The announcement Play/Stop button now refreshes after saving screen-group changes, so Play stays disabled until the announcement actually has targets again.
+
+## 2.7.5 - 2026-08-15
+
+### Changed
+
+- The About page now reads bundled library versions from package metadata and the vendored AdminLTE stylesheet.

+
+### Changed
+
+- Refreshed the vendored AdminLTE assets to 4.3.1.
+
+## 2.7.3 - 2026-08-15
+
+### Changed
+
+- The slide image cropper now warns that SVG and GIF files will be rasterized if they are edited, and it keeps the original file only when the full image remains selected.
+- The slide image upload flow now accepts PNG, JPG, GIF, WebP, and SVG images, while the WYSIWYG image uploader now matches that same allowlist.
+- TIFF is no longer accepted by the WYSIWYG image uploader.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- The player now preserves quoted custom font-family values from rich text content, so fonts with spaces such as Old London render correctly on screens.
+
+## 2.7.2 - 2026-08-14
+
+### Fixed
+
+- HTML and webpage region previews now normalize object-shaped content before rendering, so the player, thumbnails, and popup preview show the intended iframe content instead of leaking raw objects.
+- HTML and webpage preview iframes now size explicitly to the full region bounds in the player, thumbnails, and popup preview.
+
+## 2.7.1 - 2026-08-14
+
+### Changed

+- Timetable regions now use the renamed helpers end to end in the editor and player, including timezone-aware rendering for timetable entry placeholders.
+
