+# Attyx v0.2.42
+
+## Daemon Upgrade No Longer Kills Running Sessions
+
+Previously, upgrading the Attyx daemon while terminals were open would kill all running shell sessions within milliseconds. This happened because the new daemon process couldn't track shells that were started by the old one — it mistakenly concluded they had exited and closed every pane.
+
+This is now fixed. Daemon upgrades are seamless: your shells, running commands, and active sessions all survive the transition without interruption.
