 # Changelog
 
-## [1.0.8-rc25] - unstable
 
-### Added
-
-* [Yavsc.Api] Notification du performer à la création d'un rendez-vous
-  depuis PostIt, selon ses préférences de contact, sans supprimer l'envoi Org.
-* [Yavsc.Api][Yavsc.Server] Notification du performer à la signature
-  client d'un devis (JSON ou image), enregistrée pour l'accueil PostIt
-  et transmise par e-mail et SignalR.
-* [Yavsc.Api] Nouveau point d'entrée `GET /api/v1/notifications/me`
-  pour exposer les notifications publiques et ciblées à PostIt sur la
-  Home page ; les notifications d'administration restent filtrées.
-* [PostIt] Affichage des notifications sur la page d'accueil, avec
-  actualisation, indicateur de chargement et message d'erreur. Les
-  notifications publiques sont accessibles sans connexion et la liste
-  est rechargée lors d'un changement de session.
-
-### Changed
-
-### Fixed
-
-* [Yavsc.Api][Yavsc.Blogs] Les appels API et la bande passante sont
-  désormais enregistrés côté serveur pour les requêtes authentifiées :
-  le middleware de télémétrie est maintenant branché après
-  l'authentification, ce qui permet de comptabiliser `ApiCalls` et
-  `BandwidthMb` au lieu d'enregistrer des zéros.
