+# (2025-12-21) Version 1.12.0
+
+- (**Improvement**) Upgrade [async-openai](https://crates.io/crates/async-openai) (0.31.1 -> 0.32.2) and add support for OpenAI's `gpt-image-1.5` model ([08c689a](https://github.com/etkecc/baibot/commit/08c689a), [f7bf3d7](https://github.com/etkecc/baibot/commit/f7bf3d7))

+
+# (2025-12-15) Version 1.11.0
+
+- (**Feature**) Add support for custom avatars via file path and for keeping the already-set avatar (for those who wish to manage it by themselves via other means). See the [sample config](./etc/app/config.yml.dist) for details. ([062fbbb](https://github.com/etkecc/baibot/commit/062fbbb8ef9ad600db483a431c5c782402191023))

+- (**Internal Improvement**) Dependency updates. This version is based on [mxlink](https://crates.io/crates/mxlink)@1.11.0 (which is based on the newly released [matrix-sdk](https://crates.io/crates/matrix-sdk)@[0.16.0](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-rust-sdk/releases/tag/matrix-sdk-0.16.0).
+
+# (2025-11-30) Version 1.9.0
+
+- (**Internal Improvement**) Upgrade [async-openai](https://crates.io/crates/async-openai) from our own etkecc fork (0.28.1-patched) to the official upstream version 0.31.1. This upgrade required some code adaptations to the new module structure, etc. While tested, regressions are possible.
+
+# (2025-11-28) Version 1.8.3
