 # Changelog
 
+## 3.1.0
+
+- Added floating action menu rendered over the browser without clearing the underlying file list.
+- Menu is positioned above or below the current cursor when possible.
+- Current cursor row remains visible while the menu is open.
+- All user-visible UI strings are now English.
+- Toggle-all feedback is transient and no longer leaves stale text in the prompt area.
+- Kept menu contents, labels, shortcuts, conditions, and actions data-driven through `.tui`.
+
+# Changelog

 ## v2.1
 - Made the installer compatible with minimal Calculinux environments by replacing `install -m` with `cp` followed by `chmod`.

 This keeps the Python code generic: menu presentation, labels, shortcuts, conditions and shell commands belong in `.tui`.

+
+## Floating action menu
+
+Press `M` to open the configured action menu. The menu is rendered as a floating overlay over the browser. It is positioned above or below the current cursor when possible, so the selected file remains visible.
+
+Menu labels, shortcuts, actions, and context conditions are defined in `.tui`; the Python UI engine does not contain Git-specific menu definitions.
+
+All user-visible TUI text is English.
