 ## Overview
 
-Use this skill to prepare a FreeFlow release from the local repository. FreeFlow releases are semver-tag driven: pushing a tag like `v0.3.1` triggers `.github/workflows/release.yml`, which stamps the app bundle, extracts the matching `CHANGELOG.md` section, builds/signs/notarizes the DMG, and creates the GitHub Release.

 Every release prep must update `CHANGELOG.md` by comparing the previous public semver release with the current release target. The changelog section should describe the user-visible changes that shipped since the previous release, not just summarize the final release-prep commit.

 - `MINOR` changes add user-visible features and improvements.

-## [1.1.0] - 2026-06-03
+## [1.2.0] - 2026-06-26
+
+The project is now **Fluent**, a faster, more token-efficient fork of Free Flow. This release rebrands the app and trims the dictation pipeline so each dictation uses fewer tokens and completes more quickly, without changing the core experience.
+
+### Changed
+
+- Renamed the app and project from FreeFlow to Fluent, including the bundle identifier (`com.inhaq.fluent`), app menus, permission prompts, build tooling, and the project website.
+
+### Improved
+
+- Plain dictation now skips screenshot capture entirely and sends only lightweight app and window metadata to the context model, removing the most expensive step from the common dictation path and saving the image tokens it used to spend.
+- Screenshots, when still needed (such as in Edit Mode), are captured at a smaller default dimension (768px), JPEG-compressed, and cropped of surrounding whitespace before upload, lowering image token usage.
+- The default cleanup model runs with low reasoning effort and reasoning output disabled, reducing token overhead and latency.
+- Reasoning blocks are always stripped from model output so reasoning-oriented models stay fast and never paste their internal scratch work.
