 ## [Unreleased]
 
+## [1.6.0] - 2026-01-08
+
+### Added
+
+- **News Ticker Widget** - Scrolling news headlines on dashboard
+  - Full-width ticker between Welcome card and System Stats
+  - Horizontal auto-scrolling at 40px/second with seamless looping
+  - Fetches headlines from `/tools/news` endpoint
+  - Placeholder headlines shown when no data (italic, muted style)
+  - Auto-refresh every 30 minutes
+- News data model (`NewsData`, `NewsHeadline`) with Freezed
+- News datasource calling `GET /tools/news`
+- News provider with `hasNews` helper
+
+## [1.5.9] - 2026-01-08
+
+### Changed
+
+- **Aligned horizon line across all widgets** - Consistent visual baseline at 50px from bottom
+  - Weather and Air Quality dividers now align with Sun Position horizon line
+  - Forecast card bottoms align with the same horizon
+  - Creates unified visual rhythm across all environment cards
+
+## [1.5.8] - 2026-01-08
+
+### Changed
+
+- **Bottom-aligned widget content** - All environment widgets now align content from the bottom
+  - Creates consistent visual baseline across Sun Position, Weather, Air Quality, and Forecast cards
+  - Footers (weather details, pollutants) sit at the same level across cards
+
+### Added
+
+- **Wind direction in Weather** - Wind chip now shows direction (e.g., "SE 14 km/h")
+
+## [1.5.7] - 2026-01-08
+
+### Fixed
+
+- **Environment widget alignment** - Consistent card heights across all environment widgets
+  - Added `ConstrainedBox(minHeight: 170)` to Weather, Air Quality, and Forecast widgets
+  - All cards now match Sun Position widget height when displaying data
+
+- **Sun position night labels** - Swap sunrise/sunset labels at night
+  - During day: Sunrise on left, Sunset on right (day arc)
+  - At night: Sunset on left, Sunrise on right (night arc)
+
+### Changed
+
+- **Weather widget header** - Changed from location name to "Weather" for consistency
+  - Location now displayed in content area below temperature
+
+## [1.5.6] - 2026-01-07
+
+### Changed
+
+- **Environment user logging** - Now logs API user only once per session instead of on every refresh
+
+## [1.5.5] - 2026-01-07
+
+### Fixed
+
+- **Sun position arc overflow** - Arc now constrained to fit within card boundaries
+  - Prevents arc and sun/moon from overflowing on wider displays
+  - Scales radius down when arc height exceeds available space
+
+### Added
+
+- **Debug logging for environment user** - Logs authenticated user on environment data load
+
 ## [1.5.4] - 2026-01-07
 
 ### Added
 
-- **User display in environment section** - Shows authenticated user in section header for debugging
+- User display in environment section header (reverted in 1.5.5)
-  - Displays `user: {username}` next to "Environment" header when data loads
-  - Helps diagnose user resolution issues with OIDC authentication
 
 ## [1.5.3] - 2026-01-07
