-
-
-### Bug Fixes
-
-* exclude CODE_REF comments in unclosed code blocks from validation ([f1f5287](https://github.com/cawpea/docs-coderef/commit/f1f52879dbed2d8ffaaf29fdba959e401fc81d2a))
-* handle variable-length backtick sequences in code blocks ([b5674ad](https://github.com/cawpea/docs-coderef/commit/b5674add6060fbb429190ca97a02526ae16c31f2))
-
-
-### Features
-
-* remove default .docsignore value from configuration ([67967d3](https://github.com/cawpea/docs-coderef/commit/67967d3adccb5709ea8bfc2e357d8ff685831e12))
-
-
-### BREAKING CHANGES
-
-* The `ignoreFile` configuration no longer defaults to '.docsignore'.
-To continue using .docsignore, explicitly set `ignoreFile: '.docsignore'` in your
-configuration file (.coderefrc.json or package.json).
-
-This change makes the ignore file behavior explicit rather than implicit, applying
-ignore patterns only when intentionally configured. All documentation examples now
-use `.gitignore` instead of `.docsignore` to reflect this generic approach.
