+          - **azure-light-potato.zip** - Light theme for Voicemeeter Potato
+
+          ### Requirements
+          - Windows 10/11
+          - Voicemeeter (Basic/Banana/Potato) installed
+          - Python 3.10+ (if running from source)
+
+          ### Installation
+          1. Download the zip file matching your Voicemeeter version and preferred theme
+          2. Extract and run the executable - no installation required
+          3. The application will automatically detect your Voicemeeter installation
+
+          ### Notes
+          - Built with PyInstaller for standalone execution
+          - Each variant is scaled for its specific Voicemeeter version
+          - Themes provide different visual styles while maintaining full functionality"

 ## [Unreleased]
 
--   [ ] Add support for forest theme (if rbende adds it to pypi)
+-   [ ] 
+
+## [1.10.0] - 2026-03-26
+
+### Added
+
+-   Automated builds for Releases. This is much preferred over manual releases because users can be sure the files are built directly from the source code.
+-   Azure theme added to Releases.
+-   vban.toml files can now use key `host` intead of `ip`.
+    -   `ip` is still usable for backwards compatibility.
+
+### Changed
+
+-   Attempting a VBAN connection now uses a PING/PONG handshake to verify connection, this makes connections more reliable.
+-   Navigation frame is disabled by default. You can easily enable it from the menu or with an app.toml config.
+
+### Fixed
+
+-   Comp, Gate sliders now receive feedback when changes are made on the Voicemeeter GUI.
+-   Bus CONFIG mode button rotates through the correct modes for Basic Kind.
+-   Bus CONFIG mono now rotates through *off, on, stereo reverse*.
+-   Bus CONFIG mode/mono buttons are now a fixed width.
+
+## [1.9.8] - 2025-01-22
+
+### Changed
+
+-   vm-compact config dirs now override _internal/configs (if using build from releases). See [TOML Files](https://github.com/onyx-and-iris/voicemeeter-compact?tab=readme-ov-file#toml-files) section in README.
+-   after disconnecting from a vban connection, vban menus are re-enabled after 500ms.
+
+## [1.9.5] - 2024-07-03
+
+### Changed
+
+-   Launching the Voicemeeter Compact app will now launch the x64 bit Voicemeeter GUI (on 64 bit systems) for all kinds.
 
 ## [1.9.0] - 2023-07-10
