 # Changelog
 
+## 2026-04-05 - 3.61.1 - fix(dees-input-list)
+align list input with dees-tile styling and improve item affordances
+
+- wrap the list in dees-tile with a dynamic item count heading and move the add-item controls into the tile footer
+- replace custom container styling with shared tile and theme tokens for hover, focus, row, and disabled states
+- show a bullet icon for non-sortable or disabled items when no candidate state icon is present
+
+## 2026-04-05 - 3.61.0 - feat(dees-input-list)
+allow freeform entries alongside candidate suggestions in dees-input-list
+
+- adds an allowFreeform option so Enter can add values that do not exactly match the candidate list
+- shows check and question-mark indicators to distinguish known candidates from custom freeform items
+- updates the component demo with a freeform-plus-candidates example
+
 ## 2026-04-05 - 3.60.0 - feat(dees-input-list)
 add candidate autocomplete with tab completion and payload retrieval
