# Changelog
+## 0.45.14 - 2026-05-26
+
+- Added a full-width `Changelog` button under Config page Runtime info that opens a floating scrollable panel and loads the contents of the project's `CHANGELOG.md`.
+- Added a new `/api/changelog` route for the Config page modal and kept `CHANGELOG.md` inside the Docker runtime image so the in-container changelog viewer works after deployment.
+
## 0.45.13 - 2026-05-26
- Trimmed the Docker runtime image by removing repo-only files from `/app` after cloning, so the container no longer carries development docs, Compose/build files, or the test suite it does not use at runtime.

- The remaining Config sections use two columns on larger screens and collapse to one column at `1080px` width and below.
- Runtime info shows both the `ani-cli-web` version and the installed `ani-cli` version.
- The `ani-cli-web` Runtime info version is read directly from the project `VERSION` file so the UI and startup logs stay aligned with release metadata.
+- Runtime info now includes a full-width `Changelog` button that opens a floating scrollable viewer backed by the project's `CHANGELOG.md`.
- Path fields include `Browse` buttons that open a host-side folder picker modal in the browser.
Saved settings are written to `.ani-cli-web/config.json`.
