+# Fluorine Manager — Changelog
+
+All notable user-facing changes to Fluorine Manager land here. Versioning
+follows SemVer (MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH). Two distribution channels:
+
+- **stable** — tagged `v*` releases. Each tag cuts a normal GitHub release.
+- **beta** — rolling release under the `beta` tag. Every push to `main` that
+  builds successfully replaces the assets on that one release — no new tag
+  per build. Beta builds embed a `B<timestamp>` suffix in their version
+  string (e.g. `0.1.4B202604231800`) and a commit hash, so the in-app
+  updater can tell whether the build you're running already matches the
+  current rolling release.
+
+## [Unreleased]
+
+### Added
+- In-app self-update checker with channel toggle (stable / beta) in
+  Settings → General. Runs on startup (when "Check for updates" is on) and
+  surfaces new releases without auto-installing.
+- Fluorine version is now distinct from the embedded MO2 engine version.
+  About dialog shows `Fluorine Manager <version>` with the MO2 engine
+  version and build commit on the revision line.
+- CI publishes a rolling `beta` GitHub release on each push to `main`,
+  including a machine-parseable `fluorine-meta` block (timestamp, commit)
+  that the updater reads to detect matching builds.
+- FUSE VFS now handles `rmdir`, unblocking tools like Wrye Bash that tear
+  down temp directories inside the virtual Data folder.
+
+### Fixed
+- Bulk hide from Conflict tab (#54) no longer fails with a misleading
+  "Input/output error" when the DirectoryEntry tree has lowercased a
+  parent directory. `FileRenamer` now resolves case mismatches against the
+  real filesystem before giving up, and the rename path surfaces the
+  actual errno text instead of conflating the Windows error code 5 with
+  errno 5 (EIO).
+- Wrye Bash `NotADirectoryError: [WinError 267]` during Data-folder
+  initialization (#47). Rooted in the missing FUSE `rmdir` op.
+
+## [0.1.3]
+
+- First versioned Fluorine Manager release (baseline pre-CHANGELOG).
+  See git history for earlier work.
