 ## [Unreleased]
 
-## [0.1.1] - 2026-10-04
-
-### Fixed
-
-- The packaged zip no longer contains `.gitea/` and `.config/`.
-- Release pipeline: the Composer registry rejected the packaged zip (`composer.json file is missing`) because `shopware-cli` zips wrap everything in a top-level folder. The same prebuilt content is now repacked root-level for the registry upload.
-- Release steps are idempotent (existing release and asset are reused, registry 409 counts as published) and the "tag exists -> skip" guard is gone, so a failed release can be re-run to completion.

-## [0.1.0] - 2026-10-03
+## [0.0.6] - 2026-10-04
 
 ### Changed
 
 - Services and routes are now configured in YAML; the plugin requires PHP `^8.2`.
-- Release pipeline: the packaged `shopware-cli` zip (with prebuilt assets) is validated and used for both the Gitea Release and the Composer registry; the release is created through the Gitea API after packaging, so a failed build no longer leaves an orphan tag.
-- New PR checks: `shopware-cli` validate, package build and phpunit.
+- Release pipeline: the packaged `shopware-cli` zip (with prebuilt assets) is validated and used for the Gitea Release; the Composer registry gets the same content repacked root-level (Gitea requires `composer.json` at the zip root). The release is created through the Gitea API after packaging, so a failed build no longer leaves an orphan tag.
+- New PR checks: `shopware-cli` validate, package build and phpunit (with a cached Shopware project and database).
+- The PR version check compares against the latest published release instead of the version on `main`.
 
 ### Added
 
 - Dedicated `aeon_dump_manager` monolog channel; dump jobs, deletions and purges are logged.
 - Extension icon and `.config/shopware-extension.yml`.
