# Changelog
## v0.6.0 - 2026-01-14
- **Creation Date Filtering**: Added `last` parameter to `search_advanced` for filtering by creation date (e.g., '3d' for last 3 days, '1w' for last week)
- **DateTime Scheduling with Reminders**: Extended `when` parameter to support datetime format with reminders (`YYYY-MM-DD@HH:MM`)
- **HTTP Transport**: Added optional HTTP transport mode via environment variables (`THINGS_MCP_TRANSPORT`, `THINGS_MCP_HOST`, `THINGS_MCP_PORT`). Note: HTTP transport requires running the server directly and is not available when installed via the .mcpb package.
