 # Changelog
 
+## 2026-01-26 - 3.38.0 - feat(appui)
+add app shell and bottom bar APIs, new input components, and update README component listings and docs
+
+- README: updated components count (80+ → 70+), reorganized categories (added App Shell / Pre-built Templates, renamed Workspace/IDE) and improved typography
+- Document listing: added DeesActionbar, DeesInputToggle, DeesInputCode, DeesAppuiBottombar and other component entries
+- Menu item interface: added closeable and onClose properties for dismissible menu items
+- IViewDefinition: expanded content type to accept element constructors and async content, added badgeVariant and cache flags
+- New interfaces added: IBottomBarWidget, IBottomBarAction, IViewActivationContext to support bottom bar widgets/actions and view activation context
+
+## 2026-01-25 - 3.37.1 - fix(editor)
+fix monaco/editor layout, update dev deps, simplify watch script and remove Playwright snapshots
+
+- Make dees-input-code host and inner wrappers flex so Monaco editor grows to fill available height (set flex, min-height and height:100% where needed).
+- Set dees-workspace-monaco and editor-wrapper to stretch so the embedded Monaco editor fills the component.
+- Bump dev dependencies: @git.zone/tsbuild -> ^4.1.2, @git.zone/tsbundle -> ^2.8.3, @git.zone/tstest -> ^3.1.7, @git.zone/tswatch -> ^3.0.1; also bump @types/node -> ^25.0.10 and lucide -> ^0.563.0.
+- Change npm script: watch from "tswatch element" to "tswatch" and add @git.zone/tswatch preset in npmextra.json.
+- Add .playwright-mcp/ to .gitignore and remove many Playwright screenshot/test artifact PNGs to keep repo tidy.
+
 ## 2026-01-13 - 3.37.0 - feat(dees-button,dees-statsgrid)
 add unified icon property and icon-position support to dees-button; add partition and disk tile types to dees-statsgrid
