 ## [Unreleased]
 
+## [0.8.1] - 2026-08-05
+
+Everything here shipped after v0.8.0 was tagged the same morning, driven by two
+sites putting real data in for the first time. Most of it is defects that only
+appear when somebody who did not build the software tries to use it.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- A blank optional code could be saved once and never again. A unique nullable
+  column accepts any number of NULLs but exactly one empty string, so the second
+  business unit with no code collided with the first and returned 500 from a
+  field the form correctly showed as optional. Blank now stores as NULL, which
+  covers every unique nullable column - asset numbers, hostnames, item codes,
+  subnet names, gage-lab tags - not just the one that was reported. A genuine
+  duplicate answers 409 with a readable message instead of a bare 500.
+- A lobby display with exactly two slides never changed between them. The
+  slideshow was started twice, and two timer chains advancing one slide each
+  landed back on the first every cycle. With three or more slides it advanced by
+  two and merely skipped one, which is why it went unnoticed. The per-slide
+  duration the feed has always sent was also ignored in favour of a hardcoded
+  ten seconds.
+- Clicking slightly outside a modal discarded a part-filled form, in 35 modals
+  across 30 files. Confirmation dialogs still dismiss that way, since they hold
+  nothing to lose.
+- Selecting a filter while past page one returned an empty list, because the
+  filter asked for page five of a result set that now had one page.
+- Model photos could not be saved: an uploaded photo sets the field to an
+  application path, and the input was type="url", which demands an absolute
+  address. The upload button was also hidden when creating a model.
+- An empty bordered box appeared after Notes on the network device form.
+
+### Added
+
+- The equipment catalog travels. `flask seed catalog` loads 53 vendors, 128
+  models with photos, 146 printer supply part numbers and every type vocabulary,
+  so a new site can start adding printers immediately instead of retyping a
+  catalog another site spent a year building. Idempotent and additive; catalog
+  only, with nothing site-specific. Offered by the installer as a tick-box and
+  by the operator console.
+- `shopdb-admin.ps1 repair` completes an interrupted provisioning, and `check`
+  now says when a server is not fully provisioned instead of leaving it to be
+  inferred from 500s on unrelated pages.
+- Network devices can be linked to a catalog model, and their map position is
+  picked on the floor plan rather than typed as coordinates.
+- An asset's vendor and type can be derived from its catalog model, by exact
+  name match only, with a reviewable backfill script.
+
+### Changed
+
+- Labels say whose type they mean: Machine Type, PC Type, Printer Type, Device
+  Type, next to the catalog's Model type.
+- The 3D parts kiosk label prefix is a setting rather than one site's initials
+  hardcoded in the source.
+- The operator console menu is grouped by what each action touches.
