 ## Release Highlights
 
+### v0.35.0 — General Chat, Version Manager, and Codex MaaS
+
+The agent workbench can now start general chat sessions without first selecting a project, while the composer exposes recent project paths and a clearer CLI picker for faster session setup. Lovcode also adds a status-bar version manager with release history, manual update checks, auto-update controls, and direct release links. MaaS providers can now be activated separately for Claude Code and Codex, including Codex `config.toml` provider updates for API-key providers.
+
 ### v0.34.0 — Agent Workbench and Codex History
 
 Lovcode now has an agent workbench for launching Claude Code, Codex, and terminal sessions from a selected project, with persistent workspace state, project/session environment scripts, and hook-based activity tracking. Codex rollout sessions are indexed alongside Claude history with a dedicated Codex filter, usage extraction, resume support, and live updates from `~/.codex/sessions`. File and document previews now support multi-tab file previews, ZIP archive browsing, unsupported binary/document fallbacks, Markdown frontmatter, and remote/local image rendering.
