+= 1.7.3 =
+* Replaced the corrupted beep-wordmark.png assets with a clean, transparent render of the 3D "Beep!" logo (fixes the feed-header wordmark image).
+* Gave the inline-SVG wordmark extra descender room so the "p" never clips.
+
 = 1.7.2 =
 * Beep wordmark on every beep + reply is now the 3D extruded brand logo (blue-violet face, navy outline, blue depth) instead of flat text, drawn as a sharp ~1KB inline SVG.
 * Bumped the wordmark size and opacity so the logo reads clearly on the dark theme.
