 Full release notes with details on each version: [GitHub Releases](https://github.com/safishamsi/graphify/releases)
 
+## 0.6.9 (2026-05-03)
+
+- Fix: `source_file` path separators normalized to forward slashes at graph ingestion — same physical file emitted with backslashes (Windows AST extractor) and forward slashes (semantic subagents) now merges into one node instead of splitting into two disconnected components (#683)
+- Fix: two-phase cohesion re-clustering — communities with cohesion < 0.05 and ≥ 50 nodes are re-split, preventing doc-hub nodes (e.g. `CLAUDE.md`) from merging unrelated subsystems into one giant community (#683)
+- Fix: VS Code Copilot instructions rewritten to be prescriptive — agent's first tool call must read `GRAPH_REPORT.md`, explicit trigger list, narrow allowlist for raw source reads (#688)
+- Feat: `GRAPHIFY_OUT` env var overrides the output directory — accepts a relative name or absolute path, wires through `cache.py`, `watch.py`, and the CLI; useful for sharing one graph across multiple git worktrees (#686)
+- Fix: `graphify antigravity install` now auto-updates stale rules and workflow files on re-run instead of silently skipping them (#652)
+- Docs: README simplified — less dense, plain language; technical pipeline details moved to `docs/how-it-works.md`
+
 ## 0.6.8 (2026-05-03)
 
 - Fix: `.graphifyignore` negation patterns (`!src/**`) now work correctly — when any `!` pattern is present, directory pruning is deferred to per-file checks so negated files inside ignored directories are reached (#676)
