 == Changelog ==
 
+= 1.7.4 =
+* Feed-header wordmark now loads from the plugin's own URL (was hardcoded to sami-ahmed.net) with a version-based cache-buster, so the clean logo shows immediately instead of a stale/corrupted cached image.
+* Made the header wordmark a bit larger (30px).
+
 = 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.
