+# v0.2.1
+
+Prepared release notes; publication is pending.
+
+Changes since v0.2.0:
+
+- Fix Windows CMD `env` output so its comment and environment assignments can
+  be copied and pasted, preserving the existing PATH through `%PATH%`.
+- Include the MIT license notice in each runtime script and standalone
+  installer so it travels with redistributed copies.
+- Offer local project installation alongside user installation in both
+  installers. Improve setup prompts and show the appropriate next command for
+  existing JDK installations.
+- Refresh the installation website with copyable commands and Duke artwork,
+  and expand the README's installation and usage guidance.
+- Simplify Pages publication to publish the current website files directly,
+  independently of runtime releases.
+
+The standalone installers and website are published separately from the
+versioned runtime scripts. Release assets remain `jvm.tar.gz`,
+`jvm.tar.gz.sha256` and `latest.txt`.

 # Discovery, installation and uninstallation verification
 
+## Patch release preparation: 0.2.1 (2026-11-05)
+
+The runtime version constants, PowerShell HTTP User-Agent, version-output
+assertion, pinned README examples and `web/latest.txt` now agree on 0.2.1.
+Release notes are prepared in [RELEASE_NOTES.md](../RELEASE_NOTES.md).
+
+Local verification passed reproducible exact-byte packaging and checksum checks
+(`python tests/release-tooling.py`), all 30 Windows PowerShell 5.1 smoke groups,
+all 14 PowerShell installer groups and all 19 Git Bash installer groups. The
+installer tests use isolated offline fixtures; Git Bash host cases are simulated.
+All three entry points reported `jvm 0.2.1`. Bash syntax checks for `jvm` and
+`web/install.sh`, LF-ending checks and `git diff --check` passed. The 0.2.1
+archive and its checksum were also built locally.
+
+ShellCheck is unavailable. No additional Linux, macOS, Cygwin, MSYS2 or Bash 3.2
+runs were performed, and no hosted workflows were dispatched for this change.
+No commit, tag, push, release publication or deployment was performed.
+
 ## CMD environment output (2026-11-05)
 
 `jvm.cmd` supplies the leading `--cmd` signal. CMD `env`/`e` now prints a
