-## [Unreleased]
+## [0.24.0] - 2026-11-14
+
+ZOrbit 0.24.0 makes the ring open sooner. It keeps its pictures between opens and draws them about a second after
+your menus load, so the first press of a hotkey finds them there. The ring looks exactly as before. The auto slots of
+a submenu ring stay in place while one is empty, a tag's items by a screen edge keep the tag's colour, and each
+release has its SHA-256 hashes in a file.
