+- **Amazon Music Optimizations**: Same optimizations now applied to Amazon downloader
+
+### Technical
+- New `go_backend/parallel.go` with `TrackIDCache`, `FetchCoverAndLyricsParallel()`, `PreWarmTrackCache()`
+- Flutter: `_preWarmCacheForTracks()` in `track_provider.dart`
+- New method channels: `preWarmTrackCache`, `getTrackCacheSize`, `clearTrackCache`
+
+## [2.0.7-preview2] - 2026-01-06
+
+### Fixed
+- **iOS Directory Picker**: Fixed unable to select download folder on iOS
+  - iOS limitation: Empty folders cannot be selected via document picker
+  - Added "App Documents Folder" option as recommended default
+  - Shows info message explaining iOS limitation
+  - Files saved to app Documents folder are accessible via iOS Files app
+
+## [2.0.7-preview] - 2026-01-05
+
+### Changed
+- **Reduced APK Size**: Replaced FFmpeg plugin with custom AAR containing only required codecs
+  - arm64 APK: 46.6 MB (previously 51 MB)
+  - arm32 APK: 59 MB (previously 64 MB)
+  - Only includes FLAC, MP3 (LAME), and AAC codecs
+  - Removed x86/x86_64 architectures (emulator only)
+
+### Technical
+- Custom FFmpeg AAR with arm64-v8a and armeabi-v7a only
+- Native MethodChannel bridge for FFmpeg operations
+- Separate iOS build configuration with ffmpeg_kit_flutter plugin
+
+## [2.0.6] - 2026-01-05
+
+### Fixed
+- **Duration Display Bug**: Fixed duration showing incorrect values like "4135:53" instead of "4:14"
+  - `duration_ms` (milliseconds) was being stored directly without conversion to seconds
+  - Now properly converts milliseconds to seconds before display
+- **Audio Quality from File**: Quality info (bit depth/sample rate) now read from actual FLAC file instead of trusting API
+  - More accurate quality display for all services (Tidal, Qobuz, Amazon)
+  - Also reads quality from existing files when skipping duplicates
+- **Artist Verification for Downloads**: Added artist name verification to prevent downloading wrong tracks
+  - Verifies artist matches between Spotify metadata and streaming service
+  - Handles different scripts (Japanese/Chinese vs Latin) as same artist with different transliteration
+  - Applied to Tidal, Qobuz, and Amazon downloads
+- **Metadata Case-Sensitivity**: Fixed FLAC metadata not being properly overwritten when downloaded file has lowercase tags
+  - Now uses case-insensitive comparison when replacing existing Vorbis comments
+  - Fixes issue where Amazon downloads could have duplicate metadata tags
+- **Settings Navigation Freeze**: Fixed app freezing when navigating back from settings sub-menus on some devices
+  - Added proper PopScope handling for predictive back gesture on Android 14+
+
+## [2.0.5] - 2026-01-05
+
+### Added
+- **Large Playlist Support**: Playlists with up to 1000 tracks are now fully fetched (was limited to 100)
+
+### Fixed
+- **Wrong Track Download**: Fixed issue where tracks with same ISRC but different versions (e.g., short/instrumental vs full version) would download the wrong track. Now verifies duration matches before downloading (30 second tolerance).
+
+## [2.0.4] - 2026-01-04
+
+### Fixed
+- **Android 11 Storage Permission**: Fixed "Permission denied" error on Android 11 (API 30) devices
+  - Added `MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE` permission for Android 11-12
+  - Shows explanation dialog before opening system settings
+
+## [2.0.3] - 2026-01-03
+
+### Added
+- **Custom Spotify API Credentials**: Set your own Spotify Client ID and Secret in Settings > Options to avoid rate limiting
+  - Toggle to enable/disable custom credentials without deleting them
+  - Material Expressive 3 bottom sheet UI for entering credentials
+- **Keyboard Dismiss on Scroll**: Keyboard now automatically dismisses when scrolling search results
+- **Rate Limit Error UI**: Shows friendly error card when API rate limit (429) is hit on Home, Artist, and Album screens
+
+### Changed
+- **Search on Enter Only**: Removed auto-search debounce, now only searches when pressing Enter key (saves API calls)
+
+### Fixed
+- **Download Cancel**: Fixed cancelled downloads still completing in background and appearing in history. Cancelled files are now properly deleted.
+- **Search Keyboard Dismiss**: Fixed keyboard randomly dismissing and navigating back when starting to search
+- **Back Button During Search**: Back button now properly dismisses keyboard first before clearing search
+- **Search Error Navigation**: Fixed pressing Enter during search (when loading or error) navigating back to home instead of staying on search screen
+- **Duplicate Search on Enter**: Enter key no longer triggers duplicate search if results already loaded
+
