 ## Unreleased
 
+## 0.9.6
+
 - A command panel now docks under the panes (View menu or F4): type a command and it runs in the active pane's folder through PowerShell (or the Command Prompt where PowerShell is absent), with its output shown in the panel as it runs, a stop button for the running command, and Up/Down recall of earlier commands. The panel follows the active pane, so its folder is always the folder you are looking at. It runs commands and shows their output; programs that wait for typed answers still belong in a full terminal — "Open terminal here" remains for those.
 
 - Files and folders can now carry Meridian tags, a star rating, and a comment: the right-click menu's "Tags & rating…" edits them for the selection (tags and rating apply to every selected item, the comment to a single item), they are kept in Meridian's own local store — never written into the files, so they work for any file or folder — and they show in the pane's preview block.
