+
+### ⚠️ Breaking changes
+
+- Breaking change: `isMasterProject` is renamed to `hasTemplatesPrivileges`, so update any custom integrations or scripts that reference it.
+
+### 🚀 Improvements
+
+- OpenOps can now start even when Analytics is disabled.
+- Tables MCP endpoints are now created with the correct per-database token for reliable multi-workspace support.
+
+### ✨ Enhancements
+
+- Analytics access is now enforced consistently based on user permissions.
+- OpenAI-powered workflows now support additional GPT‑5.2 model identifiers.
+- Assistant messages now combine multi-tool outputs into a single response when appropriate.
+- New deployments now use OpenOps Tables `0.2.17` by default.
+
+### 🐛 Fixes
+
+- The Analytics page now loads correctly after you sign in, even if you were redirected to the sign-in page first.
+- Assistant chat history is now preserved when a run is interrupted or aborted.
+- Chat streaming now stops after in-app tool calls to prevent extra background output.
+- Analytics demo dashboard seeding now logs clearer errors when required seed data is missing.
+- Admin setup and seeding is now more reliable when an admin already belongs to an organization or when multiple projects exist.
+- Newly created objects now update reference fields immediately so related data appears up to date.
