 The project uses calendar-style versions in the form `YYYY.M.PATCH`.
 
+## [2026.8.8] - 2026-08-29
+
+### Added
+
+- Git hosting integrations for GitHub, GitLab.com, GitLab Self-Managed,
+  Azure DevOps, and Gitea. Personal access tokens are stored separately in
+  the operating system keychain.
+- Azure DevOps supports multiple independently configurable organizations,
+  each with its own display name, organization URL, username, and token.
+- The Clone dialog has an Integrations tab that loads all repositories
+  available to the selected account, supports filtering and refresh, sorts
+  repositories alphabetically, and clones the selected repository directly
+  with its stored credentials.
+
+### Changed
+
+- Repository tabs use a more compact Git-client-style bar. Close buttons
+  remain visible and turn red only while hovered.
+- The integration repository list uses a narrow custom scrollbar that grows
+  only slightly on hover and no longer covers repository names or metadata.
+- Repository loading and status overlays use theme-aware design tokens with
+  improved contrast and a more compact presentation.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- Clearing sync settings on a branch that never had an upstream is now a safe
+  no-op instead of failing with a fatal Git error.
+
+## [2026.8.7] - 2026-08-23
+
+### Added
+
+- Appearance settings now offer Modern, Classic, and Custom styles. Custom
+  themes can define their own persisted color palette, while a complete light
+  theme is available alongside the refreshed dark appearance.
+- The branch visibility dialog groups local and remote branches into
+  collapsible sections with selected-branch counts. Local branches open by
+  default, while the remote group starts collapsed for quicker navigation.
+
+### Changed
+
+- Dark-theme colors, surfaces, controls, and focus outlines have been refined
+  for clearer interactive boundaries and more consistent contrast throughout
+  the application.
+- The branch visibility dialog follows the responsive layout and visual
+  language of the rest of Gitty more closely.

+## Git hosting integrations
+
+Gitty connects to GitHub, GitLab.com, GitLab Self-Managed, Azure DevOps, and
+Gitea from **Settings → Integrations**. Each connection uses a personal access
+token that is stored in the operating system keychain instead of application
+settings. Azure DevOps can manage multiple organizations with separate URLs,
+usernames, and tokens.
+
+After enabling a connection, open **Clone → Integrations** to load the
+repositories available to that account. Repositories are sorted
+alphabetically and can be filtered, refreshed, selected, and cloned directly
+with the stored credentials.
