+## [0.2.8] — 2026-07-25
+
+### Fixed
+- Stable releases now rebuild Windows and Linux packages from `main` with stable version metadata,
+  instead of republishing beta-built binaries with renamed filenames.
+
+### Quality
+- Stable release workflow verifies that generated artifacts do not contain beta suffixes in their
