Format follows [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.1.0/),
versioning follows [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/).

## [0.3.0] — 2026-08-09

"It now closes websites, not just programs."

### Added

- Website blocking through a built-in DNS resolver on `127.0.0.1:53` and
  `[::1]:53`. One entry closes the domain and every subdomain under it —
  `discord.com` also covers `gateway.discord.com`, so there is no list to
  maintain by hand.
- A "Sites" section in the panel: resolver status, query counters and a table of
  attempts, showing what was reached for and when.
- A separate on/off switch for website blocking. Turning it off frees port 53
  and hands the adapters back to the router's settings.
- Optional firewall rule that blocks queries to third-party name servers, so the
  resolver cannot simply be bypassed.
- A `--restore-dns` switch that puts network settings back without starting the
  service, for the case where the service will not come up.

### Changed

- Vue is compiled into the executable; it used to be fetched from `unpkg.com`.
  The panel now works without an internet connection, and a name resolution
  failure no longer takes away the only way to manage the service.
- The uninstaller restores DNS settings before removing the service.

### Notes

- **Website blocking is off by default.** Updates arrive on their own, without
  anyone at the keyboard, and must not silently rewrite network settings. Turn
  it on in the panel.
- The resolver needs port 53. If something else holds it — Docker, Internet
  Connection Sharing, a third-party DNS proxy — the panel says so, network
  settings are left alone, and program blocking keeps working.
- DNS over HTTPS in browsers and any VPN bypass this layer. Process termination
  is what covers those, whitelist mode most reliably.
- Network settings are restored when the service stops. If that fails, it is
  recorded in the log under `C:\ProgramData\SysHelper`.

## [0.2.0] — 2026-08-02

"The panel can now be opened from another device on your home network — a phone
or a second computer."

### Added

- Service listens on all network interfaces, with a Windows Firewall rule for
  port 8787 scoped to private and domain networks only.

### Notes

- Upgrading: the firewall rule is created automatically during installation and
  updates.
- The panel is served over plain HTTP; passwords travel the network unencrypted.
- Local access at `http://127.0.0.1:8787` is unchanged and still password
  protected.

## [0.1.1] — 2026-08-02

Installer reliability improvements; service and panel unchanged.

### Fixed

- Setup now properly reports when the service fails to start.
- Setup verifies that the panel password was stored and warns if it was not.

### Notes

- Warnings appear during manual installation only; automatic updates stay
  silent and log to `C:\ProgramData\SysHelper`.

## [0.1.0] — 2026-08-02

"Parental control for Windows. Runs as a background service, managed from a
browser."

### Added

- Block programs by name, in blacklist or whitelist mode.
- Schedule termination at a random moment inside a time window.
- Live process list and event log.
- Automatic updates.

### Notes

- Runs as a Windows SYSTEM service and requires 64-bit Windows.
- Configuration is stored in `C:\ProgramData\SysHelper`.
