 | Tag | Date (UTC) | Notes |
 |-----|------------|--------|
+| **v1.18.9** | 2026-07-19 | **Bugfix:** UI lang — *lefrancpaysan*/*francpaysan* always default **fr** unless `TALER_MON_LANG_SET=1` / `--lang`; workstation `TALER_MON_LANG=en` no longer locks English (host-agent + console_to_html). |
 | **v1.18.8** | 2026-07-19 | **Bugfix:** e2e wallet — require `taler-helper-sqlite3` on PATH; use absolute `node` + `timeout` instead of fragile `perl -e alarm` for wcli; clearer accept-uri errors (no raw alarm-shift noise). |
 | **v1.18.7** | 2026-07-19 | **Bugfix:** mail/surface catalogs — TSA/Anastasis MX is **mail.anastasis.lu** (→ pixel), not non-resolving `anastasis.taler-systems.com`; add `anastasis.lu` + pixel host probes (fixes surface_err mail.*). **Also:** FP stage host-agent defaults include **e2e** + 1800s timeout; stagepaysan.env.example wires francpaysan-secrets + wallet-cli. |
 | **v1.18.6** | 2026-07-19 | **Bugfix:** TESTS.md table cell for `e2e.bankwd-` markdown typo from rename. |
