 # Changelog
 
-## 3.0.0 Beta 8
+## 3.0.0 Beta 9
 
 ### Fixed
-- Closing the Qt editor no longer stops the dashboard or startup service.
-- The Stop button only stops a dashboard process launched by the current GUI.
+- The unified `pccooler-lcd-control` launcher now accepts the
+  `benchmark-transfer` command.
+- Added `benchmark-transfer` to the unified command help output.
 
-### Added
-- `benchmark-transfer` command to measure actual CP3 full-frame throughput.
-- Reports average frame size, transfer time, maximum FPS, and recommended
-  stable animation FPS.
-
-### Known limitation
-GIF and MP4 playback still transfers complete 320×240 frames. Beta 8 measures
-the real device limit but does not add native video decoding.
+### Retained from Beta 8
+- Closing the GUI no longer stops the persistent dashboard or service.
+- Transfer benchmarking reports realistic CP3 full-frame throughput.

-Beta 8 fixes dashboard lifecycle behavior and adds a transfer benchmark.

-## Closing the GUI
-
-Closing the editor no longer stops the startup service or a running dashboard.
-Use the **Stop** button only when you intentionally want to stop a dashboard
-started by that GUI window.
-
-## Measure actual display speed
-
-Stop the service first:
+Beta 9 fixes the unified launcher so the transfer benchmark command can
+run normally.

-The command reports the realistic maximum full-frame FPS and a recommended
-stable animation FPS. Because GIF and MP4 playback currently sends complete
-320×240 frames, it cannot exceed the measured device transfer/processing limit
-without a different native or partial-frame protocol.
+The benchmark reports:
