 ## [Unreleased]
 
+## [0.4.0] - 2026-08-20
+
+### Added
+
+- Resource table column filters, row sort, widths, and search are stored per cluster in `appsettings.json` (`Configuration:Layout:Tables`).
+
+### Fixed
+
+- Switching clusters no longer resets table column filters or sort order.

 ## [0.3.0] - 2026-08-20
