+## [1.2.2]
+
+### Added
+
+* **Cinematic TUI Motion System**: A comprehensive motion engine for liquid glass interactions, elastic physics, and fluid boba clustering.
+* **Cinematic View Shutter**: Smooth 600ms vertical split transition when switching tabs or closing menus, accompanied by a cascading task reveal.
+* **Bulk Deletion API**: Added `kairo api delete all` to safely soft-delete all active tasks in one command.
+* **Task Lifecycle Animations**: 
+    * **Bloom**: New tasks expand into existence with an 800ms `EaseOutQuad` deliberate typing sequence.
+    * **Glitch Deletion**: Bombastic 600ms glitch-vaporization effect where the task scrambles into particles and shrinks into nothingness.
+    * **Liquid Fade**: Completed tasks "melt" into the background using progressive eased strikethrough.
+* **Bento Layout System**: Redesigned header and empty states with modular, asymmetric blocks and soft, rounded borders for a premium aesthetic.
+
+### Fixed
+
+* **Isolated Tab Animations**: View transition bubbles in the header now *only* trigger when genuinely switching tabs, preventing layout flicker.
+* **Context Isolation**: `Esc` now gracefully closes the Tag Filter, and selecting a plugin with `Enter` smoothly animates the view transition instead of instantly snapping.
+* **Animation Glitches**: Resolved rendering artifacts (black blocks) during view transitions by ensuring background color persistence.
+* **Layout Stability**: Fixed alignment of the empty state Bento card and footer keybindings.
+* **Footer Legibility**: Fixed keybinding labels in the footer for better clarity.

+## 📅 Natural Language Deadlines
+
+Kairo's smart parser understands natural language, making it effortless to set deadlines without worrying about specific date formats.
+
+When creating or editing a task, you can input deadlines like:
+- **Relative days:** `today`, `tomorrow`, `day after tomorrow`
+- **Specific days:** `monday`, `next friday`, `this sunday`
+- **Time-based:** `in 2 hours`, `at 5pm`, `tomorrow at 10am`
+- **Dates:** `august 24`, `24th of april`
+
+Powered by the [when](https://github.com/olebedev/when) library, Kairo ensures your deadlines are always parsed intuitively.

 ## 🏗 Architecture
 
 Kairo is built with a modular architecture designed for performance, extensibility, and data sovereignty.
