+## Release v0.2.6 - Build & Release Improvements
+
+Minor release focused on developer experience and release automation.
+
+### Changes
+
+**Build System**
+- 🎯 Renamed binary from `quoteforge` to `qfs` (shorter, easier to type)
+- 🏷️ Added `-version` flag to display build version
+- 📦 Added Makefile with build targets for all platforms
+- 🚀 Added automated release script for multi-platform binaries
+
+**New Commands**
+```bash
+make build-release   # Optimized build with version info
+make build-all       # Build for Linux + macOS (Intel/ARM)
+make release         # Create release packages with checksums
+./bin/qfs -version   # Show version
+```
+
+**Release Artifacts**
+- Linux AMD64
+- macOS Intel (AMD64)
+- macOS Apple Silicon (ARM64)
+- Windows AMD64
+- SHA256 checksums
+
