 # Changelog
 
+## 1.2.0 - 2026-05-28
+
+Operations-focused release for more reliable production backups and maintenance.
+
+### Added
+
+- Staff-only updater page for checking configured Gitea releases, inspecting the installed git checkout, fetching tags, pulling the current branch, and running the native systemd updater.
+- Read-only control panel access level for authenticated non-staff users, with status pages visible and credentials, logs, configs, retention, and mutating actions kept staff-only.
+- Run completion notifications for email and webhooks, including recorded delivery history per run and target.
+- Dedicated hosts page with host cards, enabled/disabled filtering, and quick host/schedule/retention state controls.
+- Per-host rsync bandwidth limit overrides with inherit, unlimited, and explicit limit semantics.
+- Backup data totals by snapshot kind on dashboard and host detail pages, including unique/non-hardlinked data totals.
+
+### Changed
+
+- Real backup runs now default to verbose rsync progress output so the live run view behaves consistently with dry-runs.
+- Run progress panels are shared between dry-runs and real runs for more consistent status, timing, cancellation, and log display.
+- Incomplete snapshot cleanup now requires operator review before deletion.
+- Incomplete snapshot size reporting now prefers on-disk measurement when metadata is stale or missing.
+- Installer and environment examples now include optional updater configuration.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- Remote preflight shell commands are now quoted correctly, including roots such as `/`.
+- Worker reconciliation now detects real rsync failures and stale/running process state more reliably.
+- Retention pruning and incomplete cleanup can delete snapshots containing restrictive directory modes preserved by rsync archive mode.
+- Snapshot data summaries no longer count incomplete metadata/log files as backup data when measuring from disk.
+- Filesystem SSH credential tests use writable test state without changing production defaults.
+
