+
+# Release notes
+
+These pages will be the reader-facing version of OpenClaw releases. They keep
+the main story, practical impact, source links, and contributor credit together
+without making you scan the raw changelog first.
+
+## Coming soon
+
+The release archive is being backfilled. New polished release notes will appear
+here after the release copy is finalized.
+
+## Raw release history
+
+Use the curated notes when you want the product story. Use the raw history when
+you need compact maintainer accounting:
