+## Highlights
+
+- Replaced the generic Wails image in the Linux tray and Windows application
+  resources with the current Verstak workbench icon.
+- The desktop build now generates its PNG and multi-resolution ICO resources
+  from the committed Verstak SVG before packaging, preventing a generic icon
+  from returning in a clean build.
+- The Windows ICO contains 16, 20, 24, 32, 48, and 256 pixel variants; Linux
+  uses the matching transparent PNG tray image.
+
+## Главное
+
+- Стандартный знак Wails в Linux-трее и ресурсах Windows заменён на актуальный
+  фирменный значок Верстака.
+- Перед упаковкой desktop-сборка создаёт PNG и многомасштабный ICO из SVG,
+  хранящегося в репозитории. Это не позволяет стандартному значку вернуться в
+  чистой сборке.
+- Windows ICO содержит варианты 16, 20, 24, 32, 48 и 256 пикселей; Linux
+  использует соответствующий прозрачный PNG для трея.
+
+## Packages / Пакеты
+
+This prerelease provides a portable Windows archive, a Debian package, and an
+AppImage for Linux.
+
+В этот prerelease входят переносимый архив для Windows, Debian-пакет и AppImage
+для Linux.
