Release version 1.12.1

Introduce explicit concurrency settings to the CI and mark-stable
workflows to serialize runs per repository and ref. This prevents
overlapping executions for the same branch or tag and makes pipeline
behavior more predictable during rapid pushes.

+
+
+## [1.11.1] - 2026-02-08
+

+## [1.10.0] - 2026-01-20
+
+* Introduce safe verbose image cleanup to reduce Docker image size and build artifacts
+

+
+* Release patch: improve git pull error diagnostics
+
+
+## [1.9.4] - 2026-01-13

+
+
+## [1.9.3] - 2026-01-07
+
+* Made the Nix dependency optional on non-x86_64 architectures to avoid broken Arch Linux ARM repository packages.
+

+
+* Default configuration files are now packaged and loaded correctly when no user config exists, while fully preserving custom user configurations.

+
+* Fixed installation issues and improved loading of default configuration files.

+
+* Sun Feb 08 2026 Kevin Veen-Birkenbach <kevin@veen.world> - 1.12.0-1
+- Adds explicit concurrency groups to the CI and mark-stable workflows to prevent overlapping runs on the same branch and make pipeline execution more predictable.
+
+* Sun Feb 08 2026 Kevin Veen-Birkenbach <kevin@veen.world> - 1.11.2-1
+- Removes the v* tag trigger from the mark-stable workflow so it runs only on branch pushes and avoids duplicate executions during releases.
+
+* Sun Feb 08 2026 Kevin Veen-Birkenbach <kevin@veen.world> - 1.11.1-1
+- Implements pushing the branch and the version tag together in a single command so the CI release workflow can reliably detect the version tag on HEAD.
+
+* Wed Jan 21 2026 Kevin Veen-Birkenbach <kevin@veen.world> - 1.11.0-1
+- Adds a dedicated slim Docker image for pkgmgr and publishes slim variants for all supported distros.
+
+* Tue Jan 20 2026 Kevin Veen-Birkenbach <kevin@veen.world> - 1.10.0-1
+- Automated release.
+
+* Fri Jan 16 2026 Kevin Veen-Birkenbach <kevin@veen.world> - 1.9.5-1
+- Release patch: improve git pull error diagnostics
+
+* Tue Jan 13 2026 Kevin Veen-Birkenbach <kevin@veen.world> - 1.9.4-1
+- fix(ci): replace sudo with su for user switching to avoid PAM failures in minimal container images
+
+* Wed Jan 07 2026 Kevin Veen-Birkenbach <kevin@veen.world> - 1.9.3-1
+- Made the Nix dependency optional on non-x86_64 architectures to avoid broken Arch Linux ARM repository packages.
+
+* Sun Dec 21 2025 Kevin Veen-Birkenbach <kevin@veen.world> - 1.9.2-1
+- Default configuration files are now packaged and loaded correctly when no user config exists, while fully preserving custom user configurations.
+
+* Sun Dec 21 2025 Kevin Veen-Birkenbach <kevin@veen.world> - 1.9.1-1
+- Fixed installation issues and improved loading of default configuration files.
+
+* Sat Dec 20 2025 Kevin Veen-Birkenbach <kevin@veen.world> - 1.9.0-1
+- * New ***mirror visibility*** command to set remote Git repositories to ***public*** or ***private***.
+* New ***--public*** flag for ***mirror provision*** to create repositories and immediately make them public.
+* All configured git mirrors are now provisioned.
+
+* Fri Dec 19 2025 Kevin Veen-Birkenbach <kevin@veen.world> - 1.8.7-1
+- * **Release version updates now correctly modify ***pyproject.toml*** files that follow PEP 621**, ensuring the ***[project].version*** field is updated as expected.
+* **Invalid or incomplete ***pyproject.toml*** files are now handled gracefully** with clear error messages instead of abrupt process termination.
+* **RPM spec files remain compatible during releases**: existing macros such as ***%{?dist}*** are preserved and no longer accidentally modified.
+
+* Wed Dec 17 2025 Kevin Veen-Birkenbach <kevin@veen.world> - 1.8.6-1
+- Prevent Rate Limits during GitHub Nix Setups
+
+* Wed Dec 17 2025 Kevin Veen-Birkenbach <kevin@veen.world> - 1.8.5-1
+- * Clearer Git error handling, especially when a directory is not a Git repository.
+* More reliable repository verification with improved commit and GPG signature checks.
+* Better error messages and overall robustness when working with Git-based workflows.
+
+* Wed Dec 17 2025 Kevin Veen-Birkenbach <kevin@veen.world> - 1.9.0-1
+- Automated release.
+
+* Wed Dec 17 2025 Kevin Veen-Birkenbach <kevin@veen.world> - 1.8.4-1
+- * Made pkgmgr’s base-layer role explicit by standardizing the Docker/CI mount path to *`/opt/src/pkgmgr`*.
+
+* Tue Dec 16 2025 Kevin Veen-Birkenbach <kevin@veen.world> - 1.8.3-1
+- MIRRORS now supports plain URL entries, ensuring metadata-only sources like PyPI are recorded without ever being added to the Git configuration.
+
+* Tue Dec 16 2025 Kevin Veen-Birkenbach <kevin@veen.world> - 1.8.2-1
+- * ***pkgmgr tools code*** is more robust and predictable: it now fails early with clear errors if VS Code is not installed or a repository is not yet identified.
+
 * Tue Dec 16 2025 Kevin Veen-Birkenbach <kevin@veen.world> - 1.8.1-1
 - * Improved stability and consistency of all Git operations (clone, pull, push, release, branch handling) with clearer error messages and predictable preview behavior.
 * Mirrors are now handled cleanly: only valid Git remotes are used for Git operations, while non-Git URLs (e.g. PyPI) are excluded, preventing broken or confusing repository configs.
