 # Changelog
 
+## 2026-02-24 - 3.2.0 - feat(bundle)
+add configurable bundle output modes and bundler options (support base64ts, production builds, includeFiles, maxLineLength) and route non-default outputs to a CustomBundleHandler
+
+- Added new ITswatchConfig fields: outputMode, bundler, production, includeFiles, maxLineLength
+- tswatch now creates a CustomBundleHandler and uses it when outputMode is not 'bundle' (e.g. base64ts)
+- Default bundling path now reads bundler and production from bundleConfig (defaults to 'esbuild' and false)
+- Bumped dependency @git.zone/tsbundle to ^2.9.0
+
 ## 2026-02-05 - 3.1.0 - feat(dev-server)
 add no-cache headers to built-in development server; update docs and bump dependencies
