+26.02.5:
+
+* Systemd is now enabled by default on new installs. Existing users can opt in via pengwin-setup (updates will not automatically turn it on). Pengwin remains fully functional without systemd and on WSL1.
+* Added a new AIUTILS menu to pengwin-setup for installing AI tools (GitHub Copilot CLI and Copilot for Vim/Neovim).
+* Branding update: Pengwin now has a new logo.
+* Migrated to the new WSL architecture: `wsl --export` / `wsl --import` now preserves the icon and Windows Terminal profile when importing under a new name.
+* New installs now register as `Pengwin` in `wsl --list`. Upgrades keep the legacy `WLinux` name for compatibility.
+* Pengwin now starts in the current directory when launched via “Open with Windows Terminal” and when it’s the default entry.
+* Added a GUI option to disable D3D12 hardware acceleration (useful for buggy drivers or to force software rendering).
+* Improved systemd-on-WSL compatibility by masking conflicting services (symlinking their unit files to `/dev/null`) per Microsoft guidance.
+* WSL1 compatibility hardening: pengwin-setup now caps Node.js to v22 on WSL1 to avoid newer incompatibilities.
+* XDG_* environment variables are now correctly defined to improve GUI app behavior.
+* XRDP performance: enabled compression options for better Xfce responsiveness.
+* Upgraded VcXsrv to 21.1.16.
+* Fixed an Xfce installation issue where the polkit user was not defined.
+* Improved D-Bus management when systemd is disabled.
+* Improved `/run/user` directory management when systemd is disabled.
+* Added fzf (command-line fuzzy finder) to the Tools menu.
+* Improved the package update progress bar styling to better integrate with the background.
+* Added Bash completion for the `wsl` command inside Pengwin.
+* Improved winget completions.
+* Updated the .NET installer to .NET 10 (also available on ARM64 platforms) to use the latest dependencies.
+* Improved the Homebrew installer to better handle the latest upstream changes.
+* Fixed the LAMP MariaDB installer.
+* Upgraded the Joomla installer.
+* Improved Ruby installation performance on machines with more than 4 cores.
