 Upgrading, pinning a version and rolling back: [docs/self-hosting.md](docs/self-hosting.md#upgrading).
 
+## 0.98.0 — 2026-10-03
+
+### New
+
+- Search is much faster: a short or common word now answers in a fraction of a second, with the newest matches ranked by relevance.
+- The feed, the channel list and the Plex pages load faster, and Plex cards fetch a picture sized to the card.
+- While a new search counts its results, the count dims instead of showing the old number.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- A list whose next page failed to load says so and offers Retry, instead of asking again and again.
+- The filter rail's tag counts follow the current search.
+- Smaller fixes to layout, keyboard focus and wording.
