@ -9,6 +9,17 @@ The version is defined in [`blitztext/__init__.py`](blitztext/__init__.py).
## [Unreleased]
## [2.03.12] - 2026-06-10
### Added
- **Icons in settings.** All tab labels (Presets, Engines, Input, General,
Benchmark, Log, Manual, About) and every section header inside each tab now
show a small GTK symbolic icon, making the layout easier to scan.
### Fixed
- **Resize grip position.** The grip indicator now appears correctly at the
bottom-right corner below the notebook, not misplaced in the tab bar.
## [2.03.11] - 2026-06-09
