 ## vX.Y.0 (future)
 
 
+
+## v2.20260803.0
+
+### Wrap-up
+
+This release improves the comment experience by showing a clear message when comments are disabled and fixing several rendering and handling issues. New locales that have reached more than 20% translation coverage are now enabled, and the “Awesome Humane Tech” badge has been removed from the interface.
+
+Developer workflows are streamlined with the addition of Nix development files, a CI linting fix, and the removal of a deprecated compiler flag. The project’s AI policy was also tightened to explicitly ban AI-generated contributions.
