 Format based on [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.1.0/); versions follow SemVer.
 
+## [1.3.5] - 2026-10-31
+
+### Added
+- **One-click desktop update.** The "Update now" button actually downloads, verifies (SHA-256) and installs the new version now, instead of only linking to the Releases page. Works for all three desktop packages: AppImage (atomic self-replace), `.deb` (`dpkg -i`, no new password prompt — the app is already running as root/administrator by the time you click it), and the Windows installer (silent `/S` install). On Linux, the app restarts itself automatically; on Windows, the installer runs silently but the app does not reopen on its own yet — start it again once the install finishes.
+
+### Changed
+- **The repository moved to the Ciberfauna organization** (`ciberfauna/guara`, was `lucasrguerra/guara`). **Important notice for existing installations:** versions up to 1.3.4 have the old location baked into their update check; they will not find this release automatically. Download 1.3.5 once manually from the new Releases page, and future update checks will work through the new location.
+
+## [1.3.4] - 2026-10-31
+
+### Fixed
+- **Desktop app: only one window on startup.** The main window used to be visible from launch, so the unprivileged instance's normal window would show, flash while the system asked for the administrator password, and only then get replaced by the elevated relaunch's window a moment later. The window now stays hidden until elevation is resolved — either already elevated, elevation failed (the window then shows the warning), or this is the already-elevated relaunched instance — so only one window ever appears, matching Sabiá.
+
 ## [1.3.3] - 2026-10-30
 
 Unified updater architecture with Sabiá: migrated from the signed `tauri-plugin-updater` to direct Gitea Releases API checking and self-updating with SHA-256 verification.

+## [1.3.5] - 2026-10-31
+
+### Adicionado
+- **Atualização do app desktop em um clique.** O botão "Atualizar agora" agora baixa, confere (SHA-256) e instala a versão nova de verdade, em vez de só linkar pra página de Releases. Funciona nos três pacotes do desktop: AppImage (substituição atômica), `.deb` (`dpkg -i`, sem pedir senha de novo — o app já roda como root/administrador quando você clica), e o instalador do Windows (instalação silenciosa `/S`). No Linux o app reabre sozinho; no Windows o instalador roda silencioso mas o app ainda não reabre por conta própria — abra de novo depois que a instalação terminar.
+
+### Alterado
+- **O repositório se mudou pra organização Ciberfauna** (`ciberfauna/guara`, era `lucasrguerra/guara`). **Aviso importante pra instalações existentes:** versões até a 1.3.4 têm o endereço antigo fixo na checagem de atualização e não vão encontrar esta versão sozinhas. Baixe a 1.3.5 manualmente uma vez na nova página de Releases, e as próximas verificações voltam a funcionar pelo novo endereço.
+
+## [1.3.4] - 2026-10-31
+
+### Corrigido
+- **App desktop: só uma janela na abertura.** A janela principal ficava visível desde o lançamento, então a instância sem privilégio mostrava a janela normal, piscava enquanto o sistema pedia a senha de administrador, e só depois era substituída pela janela da instância já elevada. Agora a janela fica escondida até a elevação ser resolvida — já elevada, falhou (a janela aí mostra o aviso), ou é a própria instância já relançada como administrador — então só uma janela aparece, igual ao Sabiá.
+
 ## [1.3.3] - 2026-10-30
 
 Arquitetura de atualizador unificada com o Sabiá: migração do `tauri-plugin-updater` assinado para consulta direta à API de Releases do Gitea e autoatualização com verificação de SHA-256.
