 When updating docs for a new Basic Memory release, update all of the following:
 
 1. **Welcome page What's New callout** — `content/0.welcome.md`: update the version text (e.g., `v0.22`) and the headline; the link stays `/whats-new/changelog`
-2. **Changelog page** — `content/2.whats-new/1.changelog.md`: add a section for the new minor/major version at the top, linking the GitHub release tag(s). Patch release: add a short bullet list under its minor version's section instead. The `::github-releases` block at the bottom auto-fetches full release notes from the GitHub API — no manual update needed there. Since v0.23, significant releases also get a per-version What's New page (`content/02.whats-new/01.v0-XX.md`, zero-padded prefixes so 10+ pages sort correctly); the welcome-page `::note` callout links to it

 **Basic Memory** is real memory for your AI — a knowledge base you own. Built-in AI memory is small, vendor-owned, and usually invisible. Basic Memory is large, structured, and inspectable: a knowledge graph written in plain Markdown. Open it in any editor, hand it to any AI tool, and keep it forever.
