 ## [Unreleased]

+## [1.0.5] - 2026-10-17
+
 ### Removed
 
 - remove the unused CLI `--scope` option (#131). Use `ENVPATH` to select stack search directories; the Python API `scope` parameter remains supported.
-
 - remove the legacy `envstack.path` API (`Path`, `Template`, `get_scope`, `get_template`, `match_template`, and `extract_fields`), its unused `env.Scope` wrapper, and path-only exceptions (#132). Use `pathlib` or `os.path` for filesystem operations and application-owned code for path templating; stack discovery continues to use `ENVPATH` and the current directory or explicit scope.
 
 ### Changed
 
 - use `DEFAULT_NAMESPACE` as the environment setting for the default stack name
-
 - allow `-u`/`--unresolved` to select zero or more variables, matching `-r`/`--resolve`, with `-q` for a single value. Put stack names before the option: replace `envstack -u dev` with `envstack dev -u`.
 
 ### Added
 
 - document expansion, YAML transformation timing, runtime controls, and current name-collision behavior, with a composed example (#125)
-
 - add NumPy, Pillow, and OpenEXR examples demonstrating accumulated search paths and runtime selection of NumPy builds
 - add a standalone PySide6 example with a small GUI application
 - add installation guides and distman manifests aligned with the examples' deployment paths
