 ## Changes
-- Recognize clipboard images automatically in a background worker, including older images without OCR. Save recognized text encrypted alongside the original image and search it without rerunning OCR.
-- Keep clipboard capture, previews and OCR from delaying history search. Skip unnecessary image-payload reads; ignore superseded search results.
-- Add optional Tesseract 5 support in Settings → OCR options, with automatic installation detection, executable selection, combined languages such as ukr+eng+rus, installation validation and a Download Tesseract button linking to the Windows installer page. Windows OCR remains the default; no downloads are automatic.
-- Refresh cached image text when the OCR engine or languages change. Reuse OCR for Copy text from image; preserve the clipboard during automatic recognition.
-- Start the screenshot editor with Pencil / Freehand (F). Pointer remains available with V.
+- Show automatic update announcements using the same native Windows notification channel as screenshots. Review update opens the update check and confirmation; Later dismisses the notification.
+- Retry notification delivery after five minutes if Windows rejects it, and log update checks and delivery results. Successfully submitted notifications are deduplicated for the current version during the running session.
+- Fix Settings flicker when using the mouse wheel: skip layout work at scroll boundaries, move only changed controls in one batch, and avoid erasing the entire window background.
 
 ## Validation
-203 native checks, 445 input/layout checks, screenshot editor UI integration (including the initial pencil cursor), isolated notification registration, and 45 updater checks. Native Windows OCR and optional Tesseract tests verify background recognition, encrypted persistence, unchanged clipboard, mixed Ukrainian/English text, and engine-cache migration. OCR settings were also checked in the running configurator.
+203 native checks, 456 input/layout checks, screenshot editor UI integration, isolated notification registration and activation checks, and 45 updater checks. Regression coverage includes notification retry/deduplication, review-only activation, partial wheel steps, scroll boundaries and batched control movement.
 
 **Upgrade:** choose Update in the tray menu. Legacy v0.3.0–v0.4.1 clients first receive the v0.4.2 compatibility bridge, then the current full release. v0.2.3 and earlier require manual installation.
 For manual installation, exit KSwitcher and extract the entire ZIP into its installation folder. Keep personal `data/` and customized dictionaries.
 
 Download **KSwitcher-win-x64.zip** with **SHA256SUMS.txt**. The package contains all three executables, a release manifest, offline dictionaries, documentation and license notices. It contains no personal settings, clipboard history, Tesseract installation or language models.
