 This changelog covers all recorded changes after `1.0.0`, grouped by release version from the git history.
 
+## 3.0.8
+
+- Increased Agility's default maximum movement-speed bonus from 15% to 25% so the stat retains a stronger mobility identity alongside its weapon-grade damage scaling.
+- Raised the configurable minimum to 25%, automatically correcting older lower values while keeping higher custom values valid.
+
+## 3.0.7
+
+- Changed armor penetration to ignore the matching percentage of the target's actual armor before Minecraft's armor-and-toughness calculation.
+- Added a configurable 30% armor-penetration cap and a public per-hit Forge event allowing integrations to increase penetration, change the cap, or disable it.
+
+## 3.0.6
+
+- Added `update.md`, a complete release summary comparing every 100-point attribute and documenting all changes from 2.4.4 through 3.0.5.
+
+## 3.0.5
+
+- Restored the normal maximum Ascend level to 20 while retaining the configurable 1–100 range.
+- Made the active server configuration override stale maximum-level snapshots stored in existing player data.
+
+## 3.0.4
+
+- Increased Agility's maximum movement-speed bonus from 5% to a minimum configurable 15%, including correction of older configs below that value.
+- Removed Ascend's Sanity-loss reduction shim; Mind & Motion now remains the sole owner of Willpower's existing maximum Sanity and maximum Tempo capacity bonuses.
+- Corrected Willpower's Iron's Spellbooks cast-time modifier to use the API's required positive reduction value.
+- Audited and tested the Iron's Spellbooks mana, mana regeneration, spell power, cooldown, and cast-time attributes plus Mind & Motion's Sanity and Tempo capability setters.
+
+## 3.0.3
+
+- Removed the subtitle from the Ascend Stats screen and reclaimed the unused header space.
+- Reworded every attribute summary and tooltip with concise, direct descriptions of its gameplay effects, and widened the cards to keep the new text readable.
+
+## 3.0.2
+
+- Fixed Strength and Agility summaries being clipped by shortening their card text and separating all descriptions vertically from the upgrade buttons.
+
+## 3.0.1
+
+- Redesigned the Ascend Stats screen with a wider two-column layout, spacious attribute cards, color-coded stat accents, short role summaries, a dedicated progression panel, and a visible Ascend XP bar.
+- Improved upgrade controls with clearer maximum-value states, stronger unspent-point emphasis, and full attribute descriptions on card hover.
+
+## 3.0.0
+
+- Replaced the ten-stat model with Vigor, Mind, Strength, Agility, Intelligence, Willpower, Charisma, and Arcane; removed Fortitude and all four dedicated weapon-scaling stats.
+- Added a shared configurable soft-cap curve, configurable Vigor health, Strength knockback/armor penetration, conservative Agility movement speed, and distinct magic-stat roles.
+- Moved Iron's Spellbooks mana capacity and regeneration to Mind, spell power and cooldown bonuses to Intelligence, retained Willpower cast-time support, and removed Charisma's generic mana bonus.
+- Extended the optional Mind & Motion bridge so Willpower reduces Sanity loss through its public capability while retaining the existing Tempo and mental-resilience integration.
+- Added registry- and datapack-driven weapon scaling with S through E/NONE grades, main-attribute extensibility, vanilla weapon defaults, additive base-damage bonuses, scaling tooltips, and safe optional Mace support.
+- Added event-based Arcane duration bonuses for finite beneficial effects on self and harmful effects applied to enemies, with separate configurable curves and no per-tick extension.
+- Added player data format version 2 and a one-time server-side migration that refunds every point invested in Fortitude and the removed scaling stats while preserving retained attributes, level, XP, Knowledge, and unrelated player data.
+- Updated stats UI, commands, advancement checks, login/respawn/dimension synchronization, localization, and configuration for the new model.
+- Added automated tests for the soft-cap curve and legacy save migration, including double-refund prevention and new-player behavior.
+
 ## 2.4.4
 
 - Switched Iron's Spellbooks `3.16.2` to its current Curse Maven artifact because the legacy API-classifier coordinate is no longer published.
