+## [0.0.17] - 2026-05-03
+
+### Added
+
+- **Webview Context Menu.** Right-clicking inside the webview now shows a native context menu with Cut, Copy, Paste, Undo/Redo, spell-check suggestions, and "Open Link in Browser" — enabling system autofill and password manager integration on login pages (#161).
+
+### Changed
+
+- **Windows OpenSSL Compatibility.** The bundled Python's directory is now prepended to `PATH` on Windows so its own OpenSSL DLLs are loaded before any conflicting system-wide installations (Git for Windows, Anaconda, Strawberry Perl, etc.), preventing the `OPENSSL_Uplink: no OPENSSL_Applink` crash on startup (#167).
+- **Linux System Requirements.** Documentation now specifies glibc 2.28+ as a minimum requirement for Linux installations.

+ * Build a process environment suitable for running the bundled Python.
+ *
+ * On Windows the standalone Python distribution ships its own OpenSSL DLLs
+ * (`libssl-3-x64.dll`, `libcrypto-3-x64.dll`) next to `python.exe`.  If a
+ * different OpenSSL installation (Git for Windows, Anaconda, Strawberry Perl,
+ * etc.) appears earlier on the system `PATH`, Python picks up those mismatched
+ * DLLs at load-time, which causes the fatal error:
+ *
+ *     OPENSSL_Uplink(..., 08): no OPENSSL_Applink
+ *
+ * To prevent this we prepend the Python installation directory to `PATH` so
+ * Windows finds the correct DLLs first.  On non-Windows platforms this is a
+ * harmless no-op.
+ *
+ * Any additional env overrides (e.g. `configEnvVars`) can be spread after
+ * calling this helper.
