 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.
 
+## 0.48.2 — 2026-07-18 11:15
+
+### Fixed
+- Marketing site's language switcher no longer uses emoji flags (inconsistent rendering across OS/browsers) — now inline SVG flags in a proper dropdown menu. Home page's feature grid also got a 9th highlight (personalized recommendations) so the last row isn't left half-empty.
+
 ## 0.48.1 — 2026-07-18 11:00
