 # CHANGELOG
 
 ## v0.6.0
 
+**Official multi-protocol release.** This version introduces first-class
+support for both Meshtastic and MeshCore mesh protocols via the new `PROTOCOL`
+environment variable. Key additions since v0.5.12:
+
+* Feat: official MeshCore provider with BLE, TCP, and serial support
+* Feat: multi-protocol awareness across web frontend, ingestor, and mobile app
+* Enh: surface MeshCore role types and distinguish protocols in the UI
+
+See v0.5.12 below for the full commit history of multi-protocol groundwork.
+
 **Breaking changes — remove deprecated environment variable aliases:**
 
 * Ingestor: remove `POTATOMESH_INSTANCE` env var — use `INSTANCE_DOMAIN` by @l5yth

-Keep code as modular as possible to reduce duplication and improve reusability and readability. If a module grows large, split it into a submodule structure. Prefer composing small, single-purpose units over monolithic files.
+Keep code as modular as possible to reduce duplication and improve reusability and readability — this applies to tests as well as production code. If a module grows large, split it into a submodule structure. Prefer composing small, single-purpose units over monolithic files.

 All code must be 100% documented according to the language's API-doc standard (PDoc for Python, RDoc for Ruby, JSDoc for JavaScript, rustdoc for Rust, dartdoc for Dart). Documentation must be sufficient to generate complete API docs from source. In addition to API-level docs, add inline comments wherever the logic is not immediately self-evident.
 
-New source files should have Apache v2 license headers using the exact string `Copyright © 2025-26 l5yth & contributors`.
+Every file in the repository must carry an Apache v2 license notice using the exact string `Copyright © 2025-26 l5yth & contributors`. **Source-code files** (`.rb`, `.py`, `.js`, `.rs`, `.dart`, etc.) must include the full Apache v2 license header block. **Non-source files** (docs, configs, YAML, TOML, Dockerfiles, etc.) must include a short 2-line Apache v2 notice (copyright line + license reference).
 
 Run linters for Python (`black`) and Ruby (`rufo`) to ensure consistent code formatting.
