 ## [Unreleased]
 
+## [0.0.4] - 2026-05-15
+
+### Changed
+- Release workflow (`.gitea/workflows/release.yml`) now provisions
+  Zig and Go through `jdx/mise-action@v2`, reading the versions from
+  `.mise.toml` (zig 0.15.2, go 1.26.3). Both toolchains were
+  previously installed via `mlugg/setup-zig` and `actions/setup-go`,
+  whose mirror chase / GitHub fetch combined for ~8 minutes per run
+  before any patterm code compiled. mise pulls each tool once and
+  caches the install dir, so subsequent runs hit the cache instead of
+  re-downloading. `make deps` still resolves zig via `mise which zig`
+  with a PATH fallback; `go.mod` already pinned `go 1.26.3`, so the
+  new `go` entry in `.mise.toml` just keeps CI and local builds on
+  the same toolchain.
+- A Go module/build cache step (`actions/cache@v4`, keyed on
+  `go.sum`) was added so `go build` doesn't re-download dependencies
+  on every tag push.
