 # Changelog
 
+## 2026-02-20 - 7.2.0 - feat(logs)
+replace custom logs list with dees-chart-log component and push logs to chart, add log mapping and lifecycle sync, and bump smartlog dependency
+
+- Replaced the legacy in-component log list and styling with a dees-chart-log element to render application logs.
+- Added updated() lifecycle handler to push new logs to the chart and new helper methods pushLogsToChart() and getMappedLogEntries() to map log entries to the chart's expected format.
+- Removed the streaming toggle, getActiveFilters(), legacy CSS for the log list, and the old per-entry rendering markup.
+- Added explicit typing for dropdown @selectedOption handlers (e: any).
+- Bumped dependency @push.rocks/smartlog from ^3.2.0 to ^3.2.1 in package.json.
+
 ## 2026-02-19 - 7.1.0 - feat(ops/monitoring)
 add in-memory log buffer, metrics time-series and ops UI integration
