 **What's new**
-- **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).
+- **Face actions work on about 90% of flat faces.** Sketches, offset planes and press-pull now
+  attach to sheet metal rims and holes, plastic features (Boss, Lip, Rest, Snap Fit), lofts,
+  revolved faces, pieces Offset Face moved and walls a Join merged
+  ([#677](https://github.com/bherbruck/solidcraft/pull/677), fixing
+  [#681](https://github.com/bherbruck/solidcraft/issues/681)). Across the test models: sketch
+  75% → 90%, offset plane 75% → 90%, press-pull 64% → 85%.
+- **Joins:** a logo-style part with pieces extruded up and down from one sketch now joins
+  ([#679](https://github.com/bherbruck/solidcraft/issues/679)), faces that only partly overlap
+  fuse correctly ([#704](https://github.com/bherbruck/solidcraft/pull/704), fixing
+  [#674](https://github.com/bherbruck/solidcraft/issues/674)), and booleans build the same body
+  every time ([#748](https://github.com/bherbruck/solidcraft/pull/748)), so a design rebuilds
+  identically on every run.
+- **Sketch:** type a dimension right after picking (D, click, type;
+  [#695](https://github.com/bherbruck/solidcraft/pull/695)); redundant but consistent
+  constraints are accepted, such as a rectangle clover
+  ([#699](https://github.com/bherbruck/solidcraft/pull/699)); tool windows for Scale, Offset,
+  Mirror, Move/Copy, Fillet and Chamfer and the rectangular pattern (thanks @wdunn001), shown
+  next to the Sketch Palette, which now lists the running tool's options; a typed Rho for the
+  conic; a Construction Geometries row in the Sketch Palette that hides construction geometry
+  ([#804](https://github.com/bherbruck/solidcraft/pull/804)); sketch tool shortcuts open a sketch on the selected plane; Edit Sketch from the viewport
+  menu.
+- **Features:** feature history on the left side with folders (opt in under Preferences;
+  [#449](https://github.com/bherbruck/solidcraft/pull/449)); Convert to Sheet Metal from a solid
+  or shelled body by its bend edges ([#725](https://github.com/bherbruck/solidcraft/pull/725));
+  a tear corner relief ([#809](https://github.com/bherbruck/solidcraft/pull/809)); tapered and
+  variable fillet radii ([#675](https://github.com/bherbruck/solidcraft/pull/675),
+  [#749](https://github.com/bherbruck/solidcraft/pull/749)) with a radius spline you drag on the
+  edge ([#752](https://github.com/bherbruck/solidcraft/pull/752)); free-form cut-outs stay exact
+  in sheet-metal flat patterns ([#692](https://github.com/bherbruck/solidcraft/pull/692)) and edge
+  flanges run along what cut-outs leave of an edge
+  ([#702](https://github.com/bherbruck/solidcraft/pull/702)); and Surface Extrude, sheets from
+  open curves and profile walls ([#815](https://github.com/bherbruck/solidcraft/pull/815)).
+- **View:** Home and Fit frame only what is shown, and a middle double-click goes Home
+  ([#701](https://github.com/bherbruck/solidcraft/pull/701)); a cube navigator option
+  (thanks @Karl-VonRichter, [#664](https://github.com/bherbruck/solidcraft/pull/664)); the window
+  stays responsive and draggable while a design opens, with a Cancel button that stays put
+  ([#643](https://github.com/bherbruck/solidcraft/pull/643),
+  [#686](https://github.com/bherbruck/solidcraft/pull/686)).
+- **Quality:** cuts no longer split walls they don't touch
+  ([#670](https://github.com/bherbruck/solidcraft/pull/670)); booleans are faster and use less
+  memory ([#714](https://github.com/bherbruck/solidcraft/pull/714)); STL export welds shared
+  vertices ([#816](https://github.com/bherbruck/solidcraft/pull/816)); complete Japanese
+  translation ([#753](https://github.com/bherbruck/solidcraft/pull/753)).
+- **Fixes:** pasted features act on the pasted bodies (#613); a refused OK's error clears when
+  you change the inputs (#641); dialogs show the units of their sizes (#630); the wheel over a
+  dialog's list scrolls only the list (#678); a Single hole picked at a circle's centre lands on
+  the centre (#657); axis or tangent plane on a drill tip works (#567); sketch text edits from
+  letter interiors and moves as a whole; a projected edge stays the edge you picked; a size from
+  a bare diameter keeps its unit (#716); Convert Mesh says how big a mesh is and what converts;
+  the Save changes prompt takes arrow keys and Enter.
+- **MCP:** agent skills for modeling and editing over MCP
+  ([#728](https://github.com/bherbruck/solidcraft/pull/728)).
+- A new README demo and the SELENE rover showcase.
 
-**File format 16.** Designs are now format 16 (`solidcraft/16`). SolidCraft 0.7 and older can't

-in 0.7. Files from every earlier version still open in 0.8.
+**File format 17.** Designs are now format 17 (`solidcraft/17`). SolidCraft 0.8 and older can't
+open designs saved by 0.9, as a container or as JSON; they ask you to update instead. Keep a

-**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.
+**Upgrading from 0.8.** Nothing to do: open your designs and save (they're saved as format 17
+from then on). Feature-history folders on
+the left are off by default; turn them on in Preferences.
 
 **Known limitations**
-- 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 through-all holes along a wall or beside curved faces still fail
+  ([#559](https://github.com/bherbruck/solidcraft/issues/559)), as does a hole crossing an
+  equal-radius hole ([#788](https://github.com/bherbruck/solidcraft/issues/788)).
 - 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
+- Some faces still can't take an attached sketch: a revolve's flat faces before a later feature
+  ([#726](https://github.com/bherbruck/solidcraft/issues/726)) and faces after Split Body or
+  Combine Intersect ([#565](https://github.com/bherbruck/solidcraft/issues/565)).
+- Fillet and chamfer accept an edge pick far from any edge and change the nearest one
+  ([#783](https://github.com/bherbruck/solidcraft/issues/783)); Press Pull fails on faces beside
+  rounds ([#562](https://github.com/bherbruck/solidcraft/issues/562)).
+- `sheet.fold` refuses a fixed point exactly on the sheet face
+  ([#685](https://github.com/bherbruck/solidcraft/issues/685)), and some tabs on L-shaped or
+  collinear blanks can't be folded ([#638](https://github.com/bherbruck/solidcraft/issues/638),
+  [#639](https://github.com/bherbruck/solidcraft/issues/639)); an edge flange with different
   per-edge angles leaves gaps at the corners
   ([#501](https://github.com/bherbruck/solidcraft/issues/501)).

+**Upgrading from 0.7 or earlier.** 0.8 changed the Linux app ID to `ai.storyteller.solidcraft`:
+`flatpak update` offers to replace the old app, and the `.deb`, `.rpm` and AppImage remove the old
+menu entry.
+
 **Upgrading from 0.5 or earlier.** 0.6 renamed SolveCraft to SolidCraft and made the zip
 container the default save format. `.solvecraft` designs, old settings folders and
 `SOLVECRAFT_*` variables are still picked up, and `solvecraft-cli` still forwards to
