 # Changelog
 
+## 1.1.1 - 2026-07-24
+
+### Fixed
+
+- Added an explicit unsigned-installer disclosure to generated Release notes
+  when no trusted Authenticode certificate is configured.
+- Added release-workflow regression coverage for the signing disclosure.
+- Updated the README and versioned documentation to point users to the
+  v1.1.1 Release while retaining the stable `/releases/latest` download link.
+
+### Distribution
+
+- Publishes the native UI refresh and snapping pane-resize feature set prepared
+  for 1.1.0 as the verified x64 Setup EXE and Portable ZIP.
+- Supersedes the unpublished v1.1.0 Release attempt without moving or
+  overwriting its tag.
+- The Setup EXE is not code-signed; verify it with `SHA256SUMS.txt`.

+# winTerm 1.1.1
+
+winTerm 1.1.1 publishes the native Windows UI refresh and snapping pane-resize
+feature set prepared for 1.1.0, with a corrected and fully validated Release
+publication path.
+
+## Highlights
+
+- Drag vertical or horizontal pane borders to resize continuously.
+- Snap to quarters, thirds, or 50/50 with stable hysteresis.
+- Hold Alt for fine-grained resize without snapping.
+- Cancel with Escape; pointer cancellation deterministically rolls back.
+- Undo or redo one exact ratio per committed resize.
+- Balance the focused pane's immediate sibling split.
+- Use compact pane headers with an accurate pane icon, title, status, and
+  unified overflow menu.
+- Use the website-aligned dark native shell without changing custom terminal
+  profile themes.
+- Configure snapping under Docking and layout and pane presentation under
+  Appearance.
+
+## Release fix
+
+- Unsigned releases now receive an explicit signing disclosure before their
+  asset allowlist is verified.
+- Release workflow regression coverage prevents a missing disclosure from
+  blocking publication after the installer and Portable ZIP have been built.
+- README downloads continue to use the stable `/releases/latest` URL.
+
+## Compatibility
+
+Workspace schema remains version 2 and restores final split ratios and nested
+structure. Existing 1.0 and 1.1.0 settings load with obsolete pane-movement
+fields ignored. Shell sessions are resized in place; winTerm does not restart
+shells to emulate layout changes.
+
+## Distribution
+
+Primary x64 assets:
+
+- `winTerm-1.1.1-setup-x64.exe`
+- `winTerm-1.1.1-portable-x64.zip`
+
+Publisher: `helloThisWorld`. Tag: `v1.1.1`.
+
+## Signing
+
+The v1.1.1 Setup EXE is not code-signed. Windows may display a SmartScreen
+warning; verify the downloaded file against `SHA256SUMS.txt` before running it.
