 # Changelog
 
+## [v0.6.1](https://github.com/block/berd/releases/tag/v0.6.1) - 2026-08-17
+
+Berd 0.6.0 improves queued messaging, long-chat reliability, agent cards, and the Home experience, alongside smoother installation and updates.
+
+- **Reliable queued messages:** Follow-ups now send automatically when an agent is ready, even after you navigate away. Messages also wait for new chats to finish starting before sending.
+- **Cleaner chat controls:** Normal sends no longer briefly flash a queued indicator. While an agent is working, pressing `Enter` with an empty composer steers the first queued message.
+- **Safer transcript refreshes:** Long, tool-heavy chats retain accurate scrolling and visible history. If reloading or compaction returns incomplete data, Berd preserves the existing transcript and shows a recoverable error.
+- **Improved agent cards:** Shared and imported agents now use a consistent collectible-card design with avatar-aware colors, motion, and more dependable PNG exports. Agent cards also show their actual descriptions, which can now be edited during manual setup.
+- **Polished Home canvas:** New Home layouts use better-sized widgets and a more balanced starting view, with smoother project cube and avatar movement. Existing layouts and user edits remain preserved.
+- **Refined chat context rail:** Cards, menus, dropdowns, and selected states are clearer and more consistent across light and dark modes.
+- **Better Windows link launching:** Berd now opens links directly in Chrome when available, with a reliable fallback to the default browser.
+- **Improved macOS installation:** The installer has refreshed Berd artwork, and the latest macOS installer is now available through a permanent download link.
+- **More reliable updates:** Release metadata compatibility fixes help older Berd versions install future desktop updates without false verification failures.
