 ## [1.2.4] - 2025-10-10
 - Fix: enable “Mirror Now” when Routes are defined even if no Source/Targets are checked in the main window. Button now enables if either routes exist or a manual selection is present.
 
+## [1.3.0] - 2025-10-10
+- New: Mark Private option to mirror with prefix + real title and set event privacy on supported servers; available globally and per-route; persisted.
+- Misc: calendar access fixes, concurrency annotations, accepted‑only filter, settings autosave/restore, Mirror Now enablement.
+
 ## [1.2.3] - 2025-10-10
 - Fix: reliably save and restore settings between runs via autosave of key options and restoration of source/target selections by persistent IDs.
 - UX: persist Source and Target selections; rebuild indices on launch so UI matches saved IDs.

+# BusyMirror 1.3.0 — 2025-10-10
+
+New
+- Mark Private option: mirror events with your prefix + real title while marking them Private on supported servers (e.g., Exchange). Co‑workers see the time block but not the details.
+- Per-route and global toggles for Mark Private; persists in settings and export/import.
+
+Fixes & improvements
+- More reliable calendar loading after permission grant (reinit EKEventStore).
+- Concurrency: `@MainActor` on permission/refresh methods.
+- Accepted‑only filter via current user attendee `participantStatus`.
+- Settings autosave and restore (including source/target selections by IDs).
+- Mirror Now enabled when calendars available; routes or manual selection used as appropriate.
+
+Build
+- `make build-release`
+- `make package` → BusyMirror-1.3.0-macOS.zip and .sha256
