+This release fixes three small interface problems in the author and role screens.
+
+## Improvements and fixes
+
+- Users can edit their own author from the author list page.
+- The create author button in the article editor now has the same height as the controls next to it.
+- The selected role card in the Change role dialog now uses dark text, so its name, description and Current marker are readable on the sand background.
+
+## Under the hood
+
+- Design change logs are consolidated into `docs/design/decisions.md`, and stale docs are refreshed.
+
+## Upgrading
+
+- Replace the binary, or pull the new image. No schema migration and no new environment variable.
