# What's new in CPDock

Useful changes, version by version. This page records development previews and will also list public releases once downloads open.

**Current local preview: 0.2.12. No public release is available yet.** Signing, notarization and release testing are still in progress. [Read the user guide](./user-guide.html) for installation and update instructions.

## 0.2.12 - 3 October 2026 - Local preview

## How updates will be listed

Each future release will include its version, release date, Added/Changed/Fixed notes, compatibility requirements and any upgrade instructions. A public release will link to its verified download; a preview entry does not open the download or purchase buttons.

For now, update manually by quitting CPDock and replacing the app in Applications. Keep your local library and original files. [See the update steps](./user-guide.html#update-to-a-newer-version).
