…ished one #990 branched from 2df53a2 on 2026-08-07, when the entries now dated 5.46.0 were still under [Unreleased]. It added its own entry to that block, and eight days later the squash merge applied the hunk by context — into a section that had since been released. So 5.46.0's published changelog claimed a feature it does not contain, and the BDC work would have shipped in the next release undocumented. Moved to [Unreleased] under a `### Changed` heading, with the two label-shape fixes and the ticker count added, since those are what a reader upgrading actually needs. 5.46.0 keeps its other 22 entries unchanged. Worth knowing for any long-lived branch: a CHANGELOG hunk written against [Unreleased] does not follow that heading when a release is cut underneath it.

[Unreleased]does not follow that heading when a release is cut underneath it. Git matches context lines, and the context is the neighbouring entries, which move into the dated section with it.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
