 # Changelog
 
-## 0.7.4 - Unreleased
+## 0.7.4 - 2026-07-04
 
 ### Fixes
 
 - Fixed multi-workspace desktop/API sync scoping, fail-closed workspace authentication, workspace-qualified purges, and explicit watch workspace selection. Thanks @zm2231.
 - Prevented unchanged desktop refreshes from duplicating message events and added preview-first retained-history compaction with `purge --keep-message-events`. Thanks @barbieri.
 - Normalized relative runtime paths to absolute paths so commands can open databases created with `init --db <relative-path>`.
-- Treat nullable optional message metadata as empty when reading historical archives.
