+# Changelog
+
+## 2026-03-08 to 2026-03-14
+
+- Discovery and contacts: finished the discovery flow, removed artificial UI delays, added profile storage and sync, and allowed contact name overrides.
+- Messaging and channels: fixed channel sync, deduplication, overwrite and deletion issues, cleared message input after send, and added delayed-message warning tracking.
+- Voice and transport: improved voice playback quality, improved scan and advert parsing, and kept route path data visible in logs.
+- Maps and field operations: enabled iOS background GPS updates, added GPX trail import/export, introduced a fullscreen repeater map, and added live mesh traffic views.
+- Localization and UI polish: added multilingual localization coverage, updated locale strings, fixed onboarding layout issues, and refined channel and contacts presentation.
+
+## Key PRs
