+bdi 0.7.0
+
+Minor release, **0.6.0 → 0.7.0**.
+
+## Highlights
+
+- A badge can show any field of a bead, not just its metadata.
+- You can give a badge a short form, for when there is no room for the full one.
+- You can give a badge a colour.
+
+## Upgrading
+
+A badge key now names a field of a bead, so put `metadata.` in front of every one in your config.
+
+## Installing
+
+```console
+$ brew install codeforbreakfast/tap/bdi
+```
+
+`cargo install beady-eye` from crates.io if you would rather compile it. Or pin `github:CodeForBreakfast/beady-eye/v0.7.0` as a flake input and take the package or the overlay. Or take a binary from this page: one per platform, `.sha256` beside each, the Linux ones static. Apple has not been asked to sign the macOS ones, so a copy a browser downloaded needs `xattr -d com.apple.quarantine bdi` first.
+
+The crate is `beady-eye`. The command is `bdi`.
+
+## Maintenance
+
+Renovate raises the dependency updates now, and a round of them has landed.
