-## What's new in v1.0.6
+## What's new in v1.0.7
 
-### Improved update notification
-The update notification now reads **"Tap to view release notes & update now!"** — making it clear you can read what's changed before installing.
+### Release notes now render correctly
+Fixed markdown rendering in the update banner and update sheet — headers, **bold text**, and bullet points now display properly instead of showing raw `##` and `**` characters.
