+**✨ Features & Enhancements**
+
+* **Distro as Data**: Migrated distribution ASCII art and metadata to a unified JSON-header format, enabling shared usage across Python and Rust implementations.
+* **Distro Parity**: Added missing ASCII art and distros from [fastfetch](https://github.com/fastfetch-cli/fastfetch).
+* **New OS Support**: Added support for QNX/Blackberry 10 ([#480](https://github.com/hykilpikonna/hyfetch/issues/480)).
+* **Custom Presets**: Added `custom_presets` configuration option to allow user-defined color presets ([#481](https://github.com/hykilpikonna/hyfetch/issues/481)).
+* **Interactive Filtering**: Added live filter for preset selection in the configuration menu ([#482](https://github.com/hykilpikonna/hyfetch/issues/482)).
+* **New Distros**: Added support for Codex Linux ([#477](https://github.com/hykilpikonna/hyfetch/issues/477)) and Zirconium ([#468](https://github.com/hykilpikonna/hyfetch/issues/468)).
+* **New Flags**: Added Peter Griffin pride flag ([#489](https://github.com/hykilpikonna/hyfetch/issues/489)) and Rubber flag ([#479](https://github.com/hykilpikonna/hyfetch/issues/479)).
+
+**🐛 Bug Fixes**
+
+* **Windows/MSYS2**: Fixed bash path detection and execution in MINGW64 environment ([#488](https://github.com/hykilpikonna/hyfetch/issues/488)).

+    * Improved path detection to continue even when current path is not found ([#426](https://github.com/hykilpikonna/hyfetch/issues/426)).
+    * Added fallback for operating systems unsupported by the Rust implementation ([#474](https://github.com/hykilpikonna/hyfetch/issues/474)).
+    * Fixed prioritization of CLI-specified ASCII art to ensure it correctly overrides configuration ([#475](https://github.com/hykilpikonna/hyfetch/issues/475)).
+* **Shell Detection**: Switched to `os.execv` for more reliable shell detection and transition ([#469](https://github.com/hykilpikonna/hyfetch/issues/469)).
