 ## Pending
 
 
+
+## 2026-05-14 - 2.19.1
+
+### Fixes
+
+- migrate legacy release arrays during config fixes and validate release config shape (config)
+  - Automatically converts legacy release registry arrays into release.targets.npm.registries during smartconfig migration and config fix runs.
+  - Re-runs doctor checks after applying known migrations so resolved issues do not require the external fixer.
+  - Reports an explicit validation error when release config is not an object.
+  - Updates config fix prompts and help text to use generic configuration repair wording.
+
+## 2026-05-13 - 2.19.0
+
+### Features
+
+- Delegate Docker release targets to `tsdocker`.
+  - Replace Docker image template publishing with `tsdocker push` execution.
+  - Move Docker registry behavior to `@git.zone/tsdocker` config and validate removed image config as invalid.
+
+## 2026-05-10 - 2.18.1
+
+### Fixes
+
+- Run `gitzone config fix` opencode handoff with inherited terminal I/O.
