 ## [Unreleased]
 
-## [1.2.1] - 2026-05-18
-### Changed
-- The `Update available (vX.Y.Z)` hint in the header is now a clickable hyperlink that opens the GitHub releases page (OSC 8 terminal hyperlink). Modern terminals (Windows Terminal, VS Code, WezTerm, most Linux/macOS terminals) render it as a link — `Ctrl+Click` to follow. Older consoles show the plain text, so nothing breaks.
-- Russian tagline tightened: dropped the `для инженера` phrase, the wording was carried over from an earlier draft and felt out of place.
-
-## [1.2.0] - 2026-05-18
-### Added
-- Russian UI translation. On first launch the application asks which language to use (`1) English`, `2) Русский`) and writes the answer to a fresh `config.ini` next to `dhcpsrv.exe`. To change the language later, edit `language = en` / `language = ru` in that file — the comment at the top of the file explains how, in both languages.
-- `config.ini` becomes the future home for other settable defaults (pool, lease, server IP) — currently only `[General] language` is consumed.
-- Bilingual `README.ru.md` linked from the main `README.md`.
-
-## [1.1.3] - 2026-05-17
-### Changed
-- Update check no longer interrupts startup with an interactive prompt. If a newer release is available, the header line now shows a quiet `update available (vX.Y.Z)` hint right-aligned in dim grey — no key press required.
-### Fixed
-- Bumped `__version__` from `1.1.1` to `1.1.3` after the v1.1.2 release packaged a binary that still self-reported as v1.1.1 (the source constant was not bumped before tagging). The source is now once again the single source of truth.

 ## Typical scenarios
 
-- **Server with shared LOM** — one cable into the BMC/host port, BMC and the host OS both get IPs from this DHCP.
+- **VEGMAN with shared LOM** — one cable into the BMC/host port, BMC and the host OS both get IPs from this DHCP.
 - **8-port switch** — laptop on one port, up to 7 servers on the rest; the 50-address pool covers everyone.
 - **Direct cable into a dedicated Mgmt port** — single client (the BMC).

-## Запуск
-
-1. Распакуй куда угодно.
-2. Двойной клик по `dhcpsrv.exe`.
-3. **При первом запуске** программа спросит язык интерфейса (1 — English, 2 — Русский). Ответ запишется в `config.ini` рядом с exe — потом можно поменять руками.
-4. Подтверди UAC (admin нужен, чтобы занять UDP/67 и переключить адаптер на статический IP).
-5. Выбери сетевой адаптер, воткнутый в твой сервер или коммутатор — это единственный вопрос.
-6. `Ctrl+C` — стоп. Спросит, вернуть ли адаптер обратно в DHCP.

-## Типичные сценарии
-
-- **Сервер с общим LOM** — один кабель в порт BMC/host, и BMC и хост-ОС получают IP с этого DHCP.
-- **8-портовый свитч** — ноут на одном порту, до 7 серверов на остальных; пул из 50 адресов покрывает всех.
-- **Прямой кабель в выделенный Mgmt-порт** — один клиент (BMC).
-
-## Совместимость
-
-- Windows 10 / 11.
-- В списке адаптеров отфильтровано всё лишнее (Wi-Fi, Cisco AnyConnect, Hyper-V, VMware, VirtualBox, TAP/TUN, WireGuard, OpenVPN, Tailscale, ZeroTier).
-- Имена адаптеров с пробелами или не-ASCII экранируются корректно для `netsh`.
-
-## Конфиг
-
-При первом запуске рядом с `dhcpsrv.exe` появится `config.ini`:
-
-```ini
-# Чтобы сменить язык интерфейса, измените 'language' ниже.
-# Допустимые значения: en, ru
-[General]
-language = ru
-```
-
-В будущих релизах сюда же переедут пул, lease и IP сервера — пока что переменная одна.
-
-## Заметки
-
-- На машине ничего не устанавливается. Удалить — стереть папку.
-- UAC спросит каждый раз. (Если хочешь убрать на *своей* машине — пропусти `dhcpsrv.exe` через Scheduled Task с галкой «Run with highest privileges» и запускай через `schtasks /run /tn dhcpsrv`.)
-- Если в Tftpd32 включён модуль DHCP — отключи, UDP/67 окажется занят.
-- Lease по умолчанию 7200 с; клиент продлевает в середине срока. Если нужно «навсегда», исходник поддерживает `2147483647` — пересобери из исходников.
