 -   [ ] Add support for forest theme (if rbende adds it to pypi)
 
+## [1.9.0] - 2023-07-10
+
+### Added
+
+-   Should the voicemeeter-compact app lose communication with Voicemeeter GUI a popup will show asking to restart the GUI.
+    -   If yes is selected the app's mainframe will redraw, there will be a grace period before updates start again due to Voicemeeter engine startup.
+
+### Fixed
+
+-   From the menu, Voicemeeter->Shutdown now closes both the compact app and the main Voicemeeter GUI.
+
+## [1.8.0] - 2023-06-29
+
+### Added
+
+-   Ability to toggle the navigation frame. This may also be set in app.toml, check example config.
+
+### Changed
+
+-   xpadding added to channel labelframes. This may also be configured through app.toml.
+-   During startup of the app there is now a twelve second grace period before parameter updates begin if the GUI was not previously launched. This is aimed at removing the stutter (due to VM engine startup) on initial launch. Be mindful of this if changing settings on the base Voicemeeter app. After the grace period all updates continue as normal.
+
+-   dependency updates:
+    -   sv_ttk updated to v2.5.1.
+    -   voicemeeter-api updated to v2.0.2.
+
 ## [1.7.0] - 2023-06-26
