 # Changelog
 
+## 2026-02-24 - 8.4.0 - feat(utilityservers)
+add injectReload and noCache options and enable dev features by default
+
+- Adds optional configuration properties 'injectReload' and 'noCache' to the website server options interface.
+- Dev features (injectReload and noCache) are no longer only enabled when serveDir is set; they now default to true when not explicitly provided.
+- This changes default runtime behavior: live-reload injection and disabled browser caching may be enabled for servers that previously did not have them — consumers should set options explicitly to preserve previous behavior.
+
+## 2026-02-24 - 8.3.1 - fix(typedserver)
+no changes detected — no version bump needed
+
+- No files changed in the diff
+- Current package version: 8.3.0
+
+## 2026-01-23 - 8.3.0 - feat(typedserver)
+add noCache option to disable client-side caching and set no-cache headers on responses
+
+- Introduces an optional noCache?: boolean in the server options interface
+- applyResponseHeaders now sets Cache-Control, Pragma, and Expires headers when noCache is true
+- Existing CORS and security header behavior unchanged when noCache is not set or false
+
 ## 2026-01-23 - 8.2.0 - feat(typedserver)
 serve bundled in-memory content with caching and reload injection
