+# Changelog
+
+All notable user-facing changes to Gitty are documented in this file.
+
+The project uses calendar versions. Displayed release names use `YYYY.MM.DD`;
+package metadata uses the equivalent numeric form without leading zeroes where
+required by the package manager.
+
+## [2026.07.21] - 2026-07-21
+
+### Added
+
+- Full Git worktree management:
+  - create a worktree from an existing branch;
+  - create a new branch and worktree together;
+  - create a detached worktree at a commit;
+  - open a worktree as a repository tab;
+  - move, lock, unlock, repair, remove, and prune worktrees.
+- A dedicated **Worktrees** entry below **Tags** in the branch panel.
+- An **Open in new worktree** action in the local branch context menu.
+- Line-level patch selection with Shift-click range selection.
+- Stage, unstage, and discard actions for selected lines while retaining the
+  existing whole-file and whole-hunk workflows.
+- Arch Linux package automation that builds from `PKGBUILD`, publishes the
+  `.pkg.tar.zst` artifact, and updates the Pacman repository database on the
+  CDN.
+- Detailed German and English help for worktrees, line-level staging, Pacman
+  installation, and release changes.
+
+### Changed
+
+- Branch deletion now uses a clearer confirmation dialog with more explicit
+  branch and upstream information.
+- Dialog backdrops blur the application instead of covering it with a nearly
+  black background.
+- Remote operations and authentication errors provide more actionable
+  feedback.
+- Build diagnostics and resource handling for the Arch package pipeline are
+  more robust.
+
+### Infrastructure
+
+- Added centralized error notifications.
+- Added structured, privacy-conscious telemetry.
+- Stabilized the Arch Linux container build and `makepkg` workflow.
+
+## [2026.7.20] - 2026-07-13
+
+### Added
+
+- AI-assisted review of staged changes before committing.
+- Optional automatic repository refresh.
+- Comprehensive German Git documentation in the built-in help.
+- Initial `PKGBUILD` and automated package version synchronization.
+
+### Changed
+
+- Redesigned the repository action toolbar and workspace status presentation.
+- Improved repository tabs, diff styling, spacing, and panel structure.
+- Improved file-history state handling.
