 # Changelog
 
+## 2025-12-22 - 8.1.0 - feat(types)
+export IRequestContext type from @push.rocks/smartserve for consumers to use in route handlers
+
+- Adds a type export: IRequestContext from @push.rocks/smartserve
+- Type-only change — no runtime or behavioral changes
+
+## 2025-12-20 - 8.0.0 - BREAKING CHANGE(typedserver)
+migrate route handlers to use IRequestContext and lazy body parsers
+
+- Route handlers now receive plugins.smartserve.IRequestContext instead of Request (breaking API change). addRoute no longer wraps handlers to convert context → Request.
+- createContext() is now synchronous and provides lazy body accessors: ctx.json(), ctx.text(), ctx.arrayBuffer(), ctx.formData(); ctx.body property was removed.
+- DevToolsController constructor now accepts optional options and supplies no-op defaults so controllers can be auto-instantiated without args.
+- TypedRequest controller now reads the request via await ctx.json() and forwards typed requests accordingly.
+- Utility website server handlers and other internal callsites updated to use ctx.params and the new context API.
+- Tests updated to the new TypedServer API, improved assertions, changed test port and reduced delays, and switched tap runner export to default.
+- Bumped dependency @push.rocks/smartserve to ^2.0.1 to match API changes.
+- npmextra.json reorganized git.zone/tsdoc entries and added release registries and @ship.zone/szci metadata.
+
+## 2025-12-08 - 7.11.1 - fix(dependencies)
+Upgrade dependencies: bump @design.estate/dees-catalog to v3.1.1 and @push.rocks/smartwatch to v6.0.0; update migration notes in readme.hints.md
+
+- package.json: @design.estate/dees-catalog updated from ^2.0.3 to ^3.1.1 (includes new icons, components and DeesIcon unified icon property; legacy iconFA deprecated)
+- package.json: @push.rocks/smartwatch updated from ^5.0.0 to ^6.0.0 (cross-runtime support, native fs.watch, API compatibility maintained: new Smartwatch class methods and events documented)
+- readme.hints.md: added migration notes for smartwatch v6 and dees-catalog v3, plus other dependency update summaries
+
 ## 2025-12-08 - 7.11.0 - feat(typedserver)
 Add configurable response compression (Brotli + Gzip) with defaults enabled and documentation
