-**Why 0.7:** this is a minor bump because the design file format moved to version 15 (sketches
-on cylinder caps and sheet metal panels need new references), and because it adds new features.
+**Why 0.8:** this is a minor bump because the design file format moved to version 16, and
+because it adds many new features.

 **What's new**
- **Sketching on stacked extrudes works again.** Creating a sketch on the top face of an extrude
-  stacked on another failed with "operation failed" since 0.3
-  ([#489](https://github.com/bherbruck/solidcraft/issues/489)). It's fixed, and every flat face
-  of the test models is now checked for this on every change.
- **Select Other:** hold or right-click to pick something hidden under something else; click
-  again to cycle through what's underneath.
- **Tabs are named after their file** instead of "Untitled".
- **Modelling:** a flange angle and height per edge, Patch fills non-planar loops, sketches on
-  cylinder caps and on sheet metal faces, and a feature rename updates everything that refers to
-  it.
- **Fixes:** revolve with edges on the axis, shell and fillet with small rounds, Join keeps face
-  attachments, and STEP export writes each lump of a body as its own solid.
- **Navigation and UI:** orbiting from empty space turns around the visible geometry, Ctrl+drag
-  orbits in every preset, toolbar drops land across labels and gaps, Combine previews before OK,
-  and sketch constraints accept the sketch's own x / y axes.
- Opening a design reads its metadata and preview through a bounded, seekable reader; the docs
-  and web app have link preview cards.
+- **Face actions work on far more faces.** Sketches, offset planes and press-pull now attach to
+  Cut, Hole and chamfer faces, each pattern or mirror copy, side walls a Join merged and the
+  pieces a later feature split a face into
+  ([#625](https://github.com/bherbruck/solidcraft/pull/625)), to moved or pasted components
+  ([#610](https://github.com/bherbruck/solidcraft/pull/610)) and beside long thin holes
+  ([#629](https://github.com/bherbruck/solidcraft/pull/629)). Across the test models, flat-face
+  actions pass 70% of the time, up from 61% (sketch 52% → 71%, offset plane 52% → 71%,
+  press-pull 41% → 60%).
+- **Fillet and chamfer** handle a single edge whose ends meet curved or slanted faces, and blend
+  smooth chains of edges ([#646](https://github.com/bherbruck/solidcraft/pull/646)): 83% → 93%
+  of edges.
+- **New:** user-defined physical materials stored in the design, linked components (insert
+  another design), saved body visibility, named views through `view.apply`, sketch text fonts,
+  corner reliefs, flanges on flanges, edge flanges that trim the base along their edge, grouped
+  sketch tools, Home thumbnails, and an improved Select Other list.
+- **Fixes:** filleting beside a modeled thread no longer freezes the app, a loft standing on a
+  face fuses with it, and many sheet metal, hole and sketch fixes.
+- **Booleans are checked.** A Boolean retry that would change the part away from the tool is now
+  refused instead of returning wrong geometry, which fixes stray cuts
+  ([#616](https://github.com/bherbruck/solidcraft/issues/616)). MCP feature replies include
+  warnings.
+- **Opening a design** keeps the window draggable, shows progress, and can be cancelled with
+  Cancel or Esc.
+- **Under the hood:** compact MCP replies, a kernel-neutral native B-rep format, and an opt-in
+  preview from the native cache while a design rebuilds.
+- **Quality:** every ordinary action is run on every face, edge, vertex and body of the test
+  models; CI blocks regressions and the full matrix runs nightly.
+- **Security:** private vulnerability reporting is on; see
+  [SECURITY.md](https://github.com/bherbruck/solidcraft/blob/main/SECURITY.md).

-**File format.** Designs are now format 15 (`solidcraft/15`). SolidCraft 0.6 and older can't
-open designs saved by 0.7, as a container or as JSON; keep a copy of a file you may still open
-in 0.6. Files from every earlier version still open in 0.7.
+**File format 16.** Designs are now format 16 (`solidcraft/16`). SolidCraft 0.7 and older can't
+open designs saved by 0.8, as a container or as JSON; keep a copy of a file you may still open
+in 0.7. Files from every earlier version still open in 0.8.
+
+**Linux app ID.** The Linux app ID is now `ai.storyteller.solidcraft` (it was
+`ai.storyteller.solvecraft`). Flatpak users from the SolidCraft feed: `flatpak update` reports
+the old app as end-of-life and asks to replace it; say yes, and your settings come along. The
+`.deb`, `.rpm` and AppImage remove the old menu entry on upgrade or first launch.

 **Known limitations**
- Some faces still need the fixed-plane fallback for sketches: side faces Join merged from two
-  extrudes ([#491](https://github.com/bherbruck/solidcraft/issues/491)), faces split by a later
-  feature ([#492](https://github.com/bherbruck/solidcraft/issues/492)), Cut walls and chamfer
-  faces ([#493](https://github.com/bherbruck/solidcraft/issues/493)), faces after Revolve,
-  Offset Face or Boss ([#494](https://github.com/bherbruck/solidcraft/issues/494)) and sheet
-  metal thickness faces ([#495](https://github.com/bherbruck/solidcraft/issues/495)).
+- Some faces still can't take an attached sketch: after Revolve, Offset Face or Boss
+  ([#494](https://github.com/bherbruck/solidcraft/issues/494)), sheet metal thickness faces
+  ([#495](https://github.com/bherbruck/solidcraft/issues/495)), Loft, Sweep and Coil faces
+  ([#561](https://github.com/bherbruck/solidcraft/issues/561)), faces after a Draft or a tapered
+  Extrude ([#563](https://github.com/bherbruck/solidcraft/issues/563)) and a Shell's rim
+  ([#564](https://github.com/bherbruck/solidcraft/issues/564)).
+- A Hole on a sheet metal face is refused
+  ([#560](https://github.com/bherbruck/solidcraft/issues/560)); some through-all holes along a
+  wall or beside curved faces still fail
+  ([#559](https://github.com/bherbruck/solidcraft/issues/559)).
+- Some fillets are still refused, such as along an outline of lines and arcs
+  ([#431](https://github.com/bherbruck/solidcraft/issues/431)).
 - Cutting a coaxial cylinder from a thin disc can lose a little volume
  ([#500](https://github.com/bherbruck/solidcraft/issues/500)); an edge flange with different
  per-edge angles leaves gaps at the corners
