 # Changelog
 
-## [0.2.0] - 2026-09-28
+## [Unreleased]
 
 ### Added
 
 - CLI for `jcloud-docsgen` that can be called without `python3 -m ...`
 - CI pipeline to generate API reference on every push or merge on `main`
 - Python generator output directory creation
-- Protection against accidental overwriting of the output directory
 
 ### Changed
 
 - Replaced the installation instructions, which used the old registry, with a reference to the Gitea Package Registry in README
 - Made Python function signatures (argument default values) compliant with PEP 8
-- Removed implicit Python project directory structure assumptions
+- Removed implicit project directory structure assumptions
 
 ### Deprecated
