 All notable changes to Epicure are documented here. This file is mirrored in-app at `/changelog` (and in the admin dashboard) via `apps/web/lib/changelog.ts` — update both together.
 
+## 0.51.6 — 2026-07-19 13:20
+
+### Fixed
+- Image attachments on support tickets now embed inline in the Gitea issue (rendered preview) instead of just a plain link. Also fixed the admin "Create Gitea issue" retry action, which was dropping attachments entirely and only ever sent the ticket description.
+
 ## 0.51.5 — 2026-07-19 13:05
