 # HomeCore Controller Changelog
 
+## 0.1.9
+
+- Corrects Home Assistant Supervisor repository-version detection.
+- Uses `version_latest` as the repository-offered version and `version` as the installed version.
+- Adds repository diagnostics to the HomeCore update log.
+- Keeps manual per-controller deployment only; automatic rollout remains disabled.
+- No functional home-control changes from 0.1.8.
+
 ## 0.1.8
 
 - First end-to-end HomeCore Admin manual per-controller update validation release after the Supervisor token bootstrap fix.
