Version Bump And Changelog

Project conventions: .cursor/rules/. Release auth / push: .cursor/MAINTAINERS.md.

Versioning Workflow

1. Confirm target version and release intent (patch/minor/hotfix).
2. Update version metadata in project files that drive packaging.
3. Add a concise changelog/release note entry focused on user impact.
4. Build and verify artifact names match the target version.

Changelog Rules

• Lead with highest-impact fixes/features first.
• Use consistent tags like Fix, Feat, Security, Refactor, Docs, Chore.
• Keep entries user-oriented and avoid internal-only noise.
• Mention client-specific scope when relevant (for example rTorrent, qBittorrent).

Validation Commands

bun install
bun run build
git status --short

Done Criteria

• Version metadata and release notes are aligned.
• Build succeeds and artifacts are generated for the target version.
• Working tree contains only intentional release changes.
