+## [0.8.0] - 2025-06-20
+
+### Changed
+
+- Refactored client creation methods to provide type-specific alternatives
+  - Deprecated `createAblyClient()` method in favor of:
+    - `createAblyRestClient()` - Returns `Promise<Ably.Rest | null>`
+    - `createAblyRealtimeClient()` - Returns `Promise<Ably.Realtime | null>`
+  - This eliminates the need for type casting and improves type safety
+  - All 50+ command files updated to use the appropriate method
+  - All test files updated to match new method signatures
+
+### Added

+- Reconnection attempt counter that resets on manual reconnect
+- Line break between countdown and install instructions in reconnection display
+

+- Credentials no longer baked into test builds
