+### Behoben
+- **Jemandem zu folgen bleibt nicht mehr hängen.** Eine Follow-Anfrage, deren erste Zustellung
+  fehlschlägt (der andere Server kurz nicht erreichbar), wird jetzt automatisch mit Backoff erneut
+  versucht, statt für immer auf „ausstehend" zu bleiben.
+- **Animierte Video-Cover werden in Feeds korrekt angezeigt.** Sie erscheinen nicht mehr leer in der
+  Rasteransicht.
+- **Cover-Videos sind wieder dekorativ.** Ein Rechtsklick auf ein Cover zeigt das normale Link-Menü
+  statt der Video-Steuerung des Browsers, und Rechtsklick „Speichern" ist bei Covern, Bildern und
+  Videos unterdrückt (leichte Reibung).
+- **Geboostete Beiträge zeigen ihren echten Text** im Zirkel, statt eines „RE: <Link>"-Präfixes.

 ## [Unreleased]

+### Fixed
+- **Following someone no longer gets stuck.** A follow whose first delivery fails (the other server
+  briefly unreachable) is now retried automatically with backoff, instead of staying on "pending" forever.
+- **Animated video covers show correctly in feeds.** They no longer appear blank in the grid view.
+- **Cover videos are decorative again.** Right-clicking a cover gives the normal link menu instead of the
+  browser's video controls, and right-click "Save" is suppressed on covers, images and videos (light friction).
+- **Boosted posts show their real text** in the Circle, instead of a "RE: <link>" prefix.
