+## Version 1.54.0 - 2025-11-10
+
+Autonomous mode is now on by default, and it's been improved to extract content more effectively. The tool calls are now displayed, and errors during tool execution are handled more gracefully.
+
+**Changes:** 5 files, 93 lines
+**Languages:** Markdown (8 lines), Python (83 lines), TOML (2 lines)
+
+## Version 1.53.0 - 2025-11-10
+
+Autonomous mode is now enabled by default, streamlining workflows. We've also improved the underlying code and fixed some issues with content extraction in autonomous mode.
+
+**Changes:** 15 files, 433 lines
+**Languages:** Markdown (47 lines), Python (384 lines), TOML (2 lines)
+
+## Version 1.52.0 - 2025-11-10
+
+This release updates the project version to 1.52.0. No new features or changes are introduced for users or developers.
+
+**Changes:** 1 files, 2 lines
+**Languages:** TOML (2 lines)
+
+## Version 1.51.0 - 2025-11-10
+
+The system can now extract and clean reasoning steps during task completion. Autonomous mode has been updated to recognize these reasoning steps and task completion markers, improving overall performance.
+
+**Changes:** 5 files, 65 lines
+**Languages:** Python (63 lines), TOML (2 lines)
+
+## Version 1.50.0 - 2025-11-09
+
+### Added
+- **LLM Reasoning Display**: The assistant now displays its reasoning process before each response
+  - Added `REASONING:` prefix instruction in system prompt
+  - Reasoning is extracted and displayed with a blue thought bubble icon
+  - Provides transparency into the assistant's decision-making process
+
+- **Task Completion Marker**: Implemented `[TASK_COMPLETE]` marker for explicit task completion signaling
+  - LLM can now mark tasks as complete with a special marker
+  - Marker is stripped from user-facing output
+  - Autonomous mode detection recognizes the marker for faster completion
+  - Reduces unnecessary iterations when tasks are finished
+
+### Changed
+- Updated system prompt in `context.py` to include response format instructions
+- Enhanced `process_response_autonomous()` to extract and display reasoning
+- Modified `is_task_complete()` to recognize `[TASK_COMPLETE]` marker
+- Both autonomous and regular modes now support reasoning display
+
+**Changes:** 3 files, 52 lines
+**Languages:** Python (52 lines)
+
+## Version 1.49.0 - 2025-11-09
+
+Autonomous mode is now enabled by default, improving performance. Identical messages are now removed in autonomous mode to prevent redundancy.
+
+**Changes:** 3 files, 28 lines
+**Languages:** Markdown (18 lines), Python (8 lines), TOML (2 lines)
+
+## Version 1.48.1 - 2025-11-09
+
+### Fixed
+- **Duplicate Messages**: Fixed issue where identical messages were printed multiple times at the end of autonomous execution
+  - Added deduplication logic in `run_autonomous_mode()` to track and skip duplicate results
+  - Messages are now only printed once even if multiple autonomous iterations return the same response
+
+**Changes:** 1 file, 7 lines
+**Languages:** Python (7 lines)
+
+## Version 1.48.0 - 2025-11-09
+
+Autonomous mode is now enabled by default, simplifying usage. Several improvements were made to background processes and thread safety, resulting in more reliable operation.
+
+**Changes:** 14 files, 233 lines
+**Languages:** Markdown (24 lines), Python (207 lines), TOML (2 lines)
+
+## Version 1.47.1 - 2025-11-09
+
+### Fixed
+- **Duplicate Processes**: Fixed duplicate process execution when running `/auto` command
+  - Disabled background monitoring by default (set `BACKGROUND_MONITOR_ENABLED = False` in config.py)
+  - Added thread locks to prevent duplicate initialization of global monitor and autonomous threads
+  - Removed duplicate `detect_process_type()` function definition in `rp/tools/process_handlers.py`
+  - Background monitoring can be re-enabled via environment variable: `BACKGROUND_MONITOR=1`
+
+### Changed
+- **Autonomous mode is now the default**: All messages and tasks run in autonomous mode by default
+  - Single message mode: `rp "task"` now runs autonomously until completion
+  - Interactive mode: Messages in REPL now run autonomously without needing `/auto`
+  - The `/auto` command still works but shows a deprecation notice
+  - The `-a/--autonomous` flag is now deprecated as it's the default behavior
+- Background monitoring is now opt-in rather than opt-out
+- Added proper thread synchronization for global background services
+- Improved cleanup of background threads on exit
