+## [0.2.7] - 2025-05-21
+
+### Added
+
+- Cron expression support for daemon scheduling — use `interval: "0 6 * * 1-5"` alongside simple intervals (`30m`, `1h`). Auto-detected, no config flag needed.
+- `croniter>=2.0` added as a core dependency.

 Features:
-- **Scheduled sync** — configurable per-source intervals (`30m`, `1h`, `6h`)
+- **Scheduled sync** — simple intervals (`30m`, `1h`) or cron expressions (`0 6 * * 1-5`)
 - **Webhooks** — instant sync on push via `/webhooks/github`, `/webhooks/gitlab`, `/webhooks/slack`, `/webhooks/confluence`
 - **Health checks** — `GET /health` for Docker/K8s readiness probes
 - **Prometheus metrics** — `GET /metrics` exports sync counters, duration histograms, and error rates
