Changelog

All notable changes to Botloader are documented in this file.

The format is based on Keep a Changelog, using a YEAR.MAJOR.MINOR version scheme (e.g. 2026.5.1):

YEAR: the calendar year of the release
MAJOR: incremented for significant releases within the year (resets each year)
MINOR: incremented for smaller fixes/patches on top of a major release

Releasing

Run the release script from a clean master checkout:
```
scripts/release.sh minor   # or: major, or an explicit version like 2026.5.1
```
It bumps the VERSION file, moves the [Unreleased] changelog entries under the new version, and creates the release commit and tag.
Push the release commit and tag with the command the script prints:
```
git push origin master v2026.5.1
```
CircleCI builds the images with the version embedded in the binary (common::VERSION, also shown by backend --version) and pushes them to Docker Hub tagged with the version (e.g. botloader/backend:2026.5.1).

Release versioning: YEAR.MAJOR.MINOR version embedded in the backend binary, reported via backend --version, the botloader_build_info metric, and the Sentry release field. CI publishes version-tagged Docker images on release tags.
scripts/release.sh for cutting releases: bumps the VERSION file, rolls the changelog, and creates the release commit and tag.
