 * Language Servers:
   - No longer store temporary files (e.g. downloads) in `~/solidlsp_tmp`; instead, use OS-specific temporary directories
 
+* Dashboard:
+  - UI polish: switch UI font to Inter (with system fallbacks) and use JetBrains Mono only for code/logs/paths/identifiers; refine the light/dark palette with softer borders, clearer text hierarchy, and a more nuanced shadow/elevation system; introduce a consistent spacing scale; keep the orange accent.
+  - Modal markup cleanup: extract shared CSS classes (`.modal-info`, `.modal-hint`, `.modal-prompt`, `.modal-field`, `.modal-input`, `.modal-select`, `.modal-textarea`, `.modal-actions`, `.btn-secondary`) and remove duplicated inline styles from all seven modals. Inputs and textareas get an accent-colored focus ring; the modal backdrop has a subtle blur.
+  - Add Language: replace the native `<select>` with a filterable combobox — type to filter, keyboard navigation (Up/Down/Enter/Esc), substring highlight, click-outside to close. The typed value is validated against the available languages list before submission.

+    <h3>Serena v1.3.0</h3>
+    <p class="date">May 12, 2026</p>
+    <p>
+        <b>Diagnostics &amp; Inspections.</b>
+        New retrieval tools and inspection/diagnostics tools for both backends.
+        <ul>
+            <li>
+                LSP:
+                <code>find_declaration</code>, <code>find_implementations</code>,
+                <code>get_diagnostics_for_file</code>, and <code>get_diagnostics_for_symbol</code>
+            </li>
+            <li>
+                JetBrains: <code>jet_brains_list_inspections</code> and <code>jet_brains_run_inspections</code>
+            </li>
+        </ul>
+    </p>
+    <p>
+        <b>Expanded Language Support.</b>
+        Five new languages to Serena's LSP backend:
+        Ada/SPARK, Angular, HTML, SCSS/Sass/CSS, and 1C/OneScript.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+        <b>Changes in Mode Configuration.</b>
+        Projects can no longer override <code>base_modes</code> in <code>project.yml</code>
+        but can now use the new <code>added_modes</code> key for more flexible configuration.
+        See the updated <a target="_blank" href="https://oraios.github.io/serena/02-usage/050_configuration.html#modes">configuration documentation</a> for details.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+        <b>Improved Reminder Hook Logic.</b>
+        The hooks have been improved and now also react to Codex' bash tool.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+        See our <a target="_blank" href="https://github.com/oraios/serena/blob/main/CHANGELOG.md">change log</a> for the full list of improvements.<br>
+    </p>
+    <p>
+        <b>Update Now.</b>
+        If you are using the uv tool installation of Serena, upgrade as follows:<br>

                 Memory names should be descriptive and use underscores instead of spaces (e.g., "api_architecture",
