 # Changelog
 
+## [0.8.0](https://github.com/stablekernel/pi-background-run/compare/v0.7.0...v0.8.0) (2026-09-28)
+
+
+### Features
+
+* **digest:** trace presets name only real failures, and the pointer is measured ([#36](https://github.com/stablekernel/pi-background-run/issues/36)) ([6b04d24](https://github.com/stablekernel/pi-background-run/commit/6b04d24b455835404fb3819671ec38cc79ed15d2))
+
+
+### Bug Fixes
+
+* **bggrep:** accept a leading (?i) flag group and explain the others ([#24](https://github.com/stablekernel/pi-background-run/issues/24)) ([5f2fe09](https://github.com/stablekernel/pi-background-run/commit/5f2fe0929dee01a159c90dade8cf2de5f1ab024e))
+* **bgrun:** discourage polling a job you just started ([#27](https://github.com/stablekernel/pi-background-run/issues/27)) ([c6680f2](https://github.com/stablekernel/pi-background-run/commit/c6680f295187250edd3e114b5bdd2efb9ed5246e))
+* **bgtail:** a wider lines window returns the earlier lines, not "no new lines" ([#23](https://github.com/stablekernel/pi-background-run/issues/23)) ([d5e2360](https://github.com/stablekernel/pi-background-run/commit/d5e23607d2a7556762700a8862f1258e3716c5dc))
