+## 0.6.15 (2026-10-01)
+
+- An invite may carry its own mail: `invite: { group, mail: { subject, body } }`. Every field of the form is a placeholder besides `{name}`, `{link}`, `{expires}` and the rest, and a date and time (`type: datetime-local`) is written out in words ("tirsdag 6. oktober kl. 15:00"). The words and the form are kept with the invite, so sending it again sends the same mail. This is for a desk that invites someone to a conversation at an hour, not into a group for good.
+
+## 0.6.14 (2026-10-01)
+
+- Less room above the wordmark: 1.75rem, 1.25rem on a narrow screen (it was 4rem). The space was kept for who is here, which now sits on the wordmark's own line, and on a tall, narrow screen it read as dead space.
+
 ## 0.6.13 (2026-10-01)
 
 - Who is here (the name and "sign out", or "sign in") sits on the wordmark's own line instead of being pinned to the corner of the page, where it read as a row of its own. With a picture strip it is in the wordmark's bar; without, it is level with the mark at the right edge. On a narrow screen it drops under the mark.
