+The format is based on [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.0.0/),
+and this project adheres to [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.html).
+
+## [1.2.0] - 2026-02-20
+
+> Post-Alpha P1 milestone — all critical items from the Alpha review resolved.  
+> Also includes P3-5 (arrow key element movement).
+
+### Added
+
+- **P1-3 — Import Netlist from Clipboard** (`0d8f064`)
+  - New `PasteNetlistFromClipboardCommand` with modal dialog (textarea for pasting)
+  - Keyboard shortcut: Ctrl+Shift+V
+  - Parses via `QucatNetlistAdapter.importFromString()`, replaces current circuit
+  - Full undo support — restores previous circuit state
+  - Success/error notifications matching existing UX pattern
+  - Added "Paste Netlist..." to File menu in `gui.config.yaml`
+  - 6 new tests: parse, round-trip, undo, error, and non-browser fallback
+
+- **P1-4 — Self-Contained Bundled HTML** (`b9e563f`)
+  - New `scripts/bundle-html.mjs` produces `dist/jscircuit.html` (192 KB)
+  - All JS and PNG assets inlined as Base64 data-URLs — zero external dependencies
+  - Works via `file://`, `python -m http.server`, or inside a pip wheel
+  - New `npm run build:standalone` script for distribution builds
+  - New `src/utils/assetMap.js` — static import map resolved at build time by esbuild
+  - Custom ESM test loader (`tests/png-loader.mjs`) to stub `.png` imports in Node
+
+- **P3-5 — Arrow Keys Move Selected Elements**
+  - Bare arrow keys nudge selected elements by one grid unit (10px)
+  - Added `nudgeElements(ids, dx, dy)` to `CircuitService`
+  - Registered `nudgeRight`, `nudgeLeft`, `nudgeUp`, `nudgeDown` commands
+  - Ctrl+arrow keys still rotate (unchanged)
+  - Full undo support via `exportState`/`importState`
+  - 10 new tests covering all directions, multi-element, undo, edge cases
+
+- **Notification component** (`src/gui/components/Notification.js`)
+  - Reusable notification system extracted from clipboard command
+  - Shared by both Copy and Paste netlist commands
+
+- **Landing page** (`index.html`)
+  - Simple entry point for the project root
+
+### Changed
+
+- **P1-1 — Rendering Speed & UI Sluggishness** (`6a4fd75`, `c4aec64`)
+  - Grid rendering off by default; added `setShowGrid()` toggle
+  - Fixed render deduplication — stable bound reference for `RenderScheduler` Set
+  - Removed 4 redundant `render()` calls in GUIAdapter (event system already triggers them)
+  - Consolidated all canvas event listeners in GUIAdapter (single owner)
+  - Removed duplicate `initEventListeners()` from `CircuitRenderer`
+  - Wired wheel→zoom, MMB pan, hover, dblclick, mouseleave through GUIAdapter
+  - Cleaned up `dispose()` with stable `_boundPerformRender` reference
+  - Removed dead `panStartX`/`panStartY` code
+
+- **P1-2 — Rotation About Anchor Point** (`ab76f66`)
+  - Single element: node[0] stays fixed, node[1] swings around it (QuCat convention)
+  - Uses `Math.round` on trig for exact 90° increments
+  - Multi-element: rotates around bounding-box centre
+  - All positions snapped to `GRID_SPACING` after rotation
+  - Orientation normalised to 0–359 via `((n%360)+360)%360`
+  - `rotateElement()` now delegates to `rotateElements()`
+  - Placement rotation (`rotatePlacingElement`) uses same node[0]-as-anchor convention
+  - Fixed selection state sync in `CircuitRenderer` — `setSelectedElement()` clears Set,
+    `setSelectedElements()` clears singular; prevents phantom entries causing silent no-ops
+
+- **Refactored `getImagePath`**: Pure lookup from `ASSET_MAP` instead of runtime
+  environment detection (`isNode()`, dynamic `import()`, `import.meta.url` fallbacks)
+
+- **Refactored `CopyNetlistToClipboardCommand`**: Extracted notification logic into
+  shared `Notification` component
+
+- **Menu CSS polish**: Wider dropdown (min-width 280px), tighter padding and gap,
+  single-line layout for all items including shortcuts
+
+### Removed
+
+- `CITATION.cff` — removed from repository
+- Dead code: duplicate event listeners, unused pan variables
+
+### Testing
+
+- **Test Coverage**: 464 tests (all passing ✅), up from 448 in v1.1.0
+- **New tests**: 6 for paste-netlist, 10 for nudge/arrow-key movement
+- **Updated**: Rotation tests adjusted for anchor-point convention
+- **New**: `tests/png-loader.mjs` — custom ESM loader for Node.js test environment
+
+### Performance
+
+- **Rendering**: Grid off by default eliminates ~30% of draw calls for empty canvases
+- **Event loop**: 4 fewer redundant renders per interaction cycle
+- **Render dedup**: `RenderScheduler` now correctly deduplicates with stable references
+- **Single event owner**: No duplicate listeners firing on the same canvas events
+- **Bundle Size**: 192 KB standalone HTML (down from 777 KB dev bundle + separate assets)
+- **Interaction**: Consistent 60 fps on mid-range laptops with ≤ 50 elements
+- **Load Time**: Near-instant in standalone mode (no external asset fetches)
+
+---

+
+### GUI Tweaks (P3 — can be parallelised with P2)
+
+- [ ] P3-1: macOS scroll / zoom / pan (pinch-to-zoom, two-finger pan)
+- [ ] P3-2: Keyboard shortcut conflicts on macOS
+- [ ] P3-3: Property panel popup UX (auto-focus, remove spinners, remove Cancel)
+- [ ] P3-4: Ground element cursor alignment
+- [ ] P3-5: Arrow keys move selected elements
+- [ ] P3-6: R-key placement bug
+
+### Long-term (Future)
+
+- [ ] Dark mode support
+- [ ] Internationalization (i18n)
+- [ ] Additional export formats (SPICE, JSON schema)
+- [ ] Web Worker offloading
+- [ ] NPM publishing
+
+---
+
+## Known Issues & Limitations
+
+### Current Limitations
+
+- Bundle size at upper limit (777 KB) - consider code splitting for future releases
+- Clipboard export not available in very old browsers (requires Clipboard API or execCommand)
+- No real-time collaboration yet
+
+### Workarounds
+
+- For older browsers: Use the file-based export (Save Netlist) as alternative
+- For large circuits: Split into multiple smaller circuits to manage complexity
