42 commits since v0.20.0 (v0.20.1 was tagged but never announced; superseded by this release rather than repointed, since real new functionality landed after it was cut). Minor, not patch: the headline is streaming one of the machine's own physical monitors instead of always creating a virtual display — pick it from a new console card or pin it in host.env, on KWin, Mutter, sway and Hyprland, in both the Punktfunk app and Moonlight. Also folds in the full v0.20.1 fix bundle: three Windows install blockers found within hours of 0.20.0, GameStream/Moonlight compat back to opt-in on fresh installs, three gamescope Game Mode takeover faults, a laptop-panel stall misdiagnosis, and the PyroWave high-bitrate latency-creep bundle — plus a KWin 6.7 regression found while building the monitor feature (silent kscreen-doctor fallback on every session) and a winget release-verification CI fix. Wire protocol stays at 2, the embeddable C ABI at 13 and the Windows virtual-display driver protocol at 6. GET /display/monitors is a new additive endpoint; the display policy gains an optional capture_monitor field. No embedder rebuild required.

Release notes
One file per stable release: docs/releases/vX.Y.Z.md. Its contents become the Gitea release
body verbatim and are the source of the Discord #releases announcement.
Why this exists
Releases used to be created by CI with an empty body; the notes were pasted in by hand afterward. That left a window where the release — and anything announcing it — carried no notes. Now the notes are authored before the tag is pushed, as part of the version bump, so the release is born complete and the announcement always has something to say.
The flow
- Write the notes. Add
docs/releases/vX.Y.Z.mdin the same commit (or PR) as the version bump. CopyTEMPLATE.mdand fill it in. This file is the single source of truth for the body. - Tag & push.
git tag -a vX.Y.Z … && git push origin vX.Y.Zfans out to the build workflows. Whichever one wins the create race seeds the release body from this file (scripts/ci/gitea-release.sh→ensure_release, and its PowerShell twin). The release page shows the notes immediately. - Wait for green. Let every platform's CI finish and go green.
- Announce. Dispatch the
announceworkflow (.gitea/workflows/announce.yml) with the tag. It re-asserts this file over the live release (so any late edit wins) and posts an embed to Discord#releases. Pressing "go" is the quality gate — a half-built release is never announced. Stable-only; a-rctag is refused unlessallow_prerelease=true.
Editing the notes after the tag is fine: update this file, then re-run step 4 (or PATCH the body via the API) — the announce step always re-syncs from the file, so the file stays authoritative even across a tag re-point.
Canary / -rc builds have no file here on purpose: they get no curated body and are not
announced.
Voice & format
Write for the people who USE Punktfunk to stream their games and desktops — not for the people who
build it. A non-engineer should finish knowing what's new and whether it affects them; an engineer
should never be confused or forced to decode internals. (See any recent vX.Y.Z.md for the target.)
- Lead with the benefit. Each entry = what the user can now do, what now works, or what stopped going wrong — in their words. Implementation is not the story.
- No internal vocabulary in the body. No protocol/message names, code type names, hex codes or hardware IDs, crate/component names, or API symbols. Translate any essential detail to plain language. Name things users recognize (iPad, Apple Pencil, Steam Deck, Android TV, the Windows sign-in screen) — not subsystems.
- Group as New / Improved / Fixed, each a bold one-line lead-in + a tight plain explanation.
Skimmable. The lead-in text before the first
##is what the Discord announcement shows, so make it a real, plain-language summary. - Be specific and honest — no vague "various improvements"; a reader should know exactly what changed.
- Compatibility line up top, in plain terms: can they update one side at a time? does their existing setup keep working? No version numbers in the lead.
- All protocol / ABI / driver / embedder detail goes in ONE
## Under the hood (for developers)section at the very bottom — the only place internal names and version numbers belong, clearly optional. The old dense engineering style survives only there.
The short annotated-tag message stays separate and short (a headline + a paragraph); it is the tag object's message, not this file.
