+# Update 0.5.5.85
+
+## Added
+
+- New status flag **In software lists** / **In Softwarelisten**.
+- Existing status values default to enabled during the lightweight database migration.
+- Newly created status values default to enabled and can be changed directly in the status administration.
+
+## Applied to
+
+The flag controls inclusion in:
+
+- the detailed global software installation list,
+- the aggregated software list,
+- software overview counters and statistics,
+- the detailed Excel software export,
+- the aggregated Excel software export.
+
+Software inventory shown directly on an individual asset is intentionally not filtered by this flag.
+
+## Database
+
+`status_options.show_in_software_list` is added as `BOOLEAN NOT NULL DEFAULT TRUE`.
+
+This preserves the previous behavior after the update until an administrator explicitly disables the flag for one or more status values.

+# Update 0.5.5.86
+
+## Fixed
+
+- Global software lists no longer require every asset to have a matching status option.
+- Assets with no assigned status remain included.
+- Assets with legacy/unmatched status text remain included.
+- Only assets whose matching status explicitly has `In Softwarelisten` disabled are excluded.
+- Renaming a status option now updates the status text of existing assets so the relationship is preserved.
+
+## Background
+
+Version 0.5.5.85 used an inner join between `assets.status` and `status_options.name`.
+Assets created by MeshCentral can have no status assigned, so those assets disappeared from
+all global software lists even when all configured status flags were enabled.
+## Additional fixes
+
+- Software table header rows remain visible while scrolling the detailed and aggregated lists.
+- The generated table filter row remains fixed directly below the column headers.
+- Excel exports now write column headers to row 1 before enabling AutoFilter.
+- Excel AutoFilter spans the complete exported data range and row 1 remains frozen.
+
+## Sticky table header follow-up
+
+- Keep the complete table header section (`thead`) sticky instead of positioning the title and filter cells independently.
+- Title row and generated filter row now remain together while scrolling in the asset list and both global software lists.
+- Removed the dependency on a fixed 41 px title-row height for these tables.
+- Excel export behavior from the previous 0.5.5.86 build remains unchanged.

+# Update 0.5.5.87
+
+## Fixed
+
+- Restored column resizing after the sticky-header change from 0.5.5.86.
+- Header cells remain relative positioning contexts while the complete `thead` is sticky.
+- Removed the separate data-table resize path for non-Asset tables.
+
+## Unified table behavior
+
+All interactive `data-table` views now use the same central table-tools implementation for:
+
+- title row and generated filter row,
+- sticky two-row header,
+- column filtering and sorting,
+- visual row numbers,
+- column resizing without moving neighboring columns,
+- table-width growth/shrink matching the resized column,
+- per-user persistence of column widths, filters and sorting.
+
+Existing views without an explicit scroll wrapper are wrapped automatically by the shared table component. This keeps new and older list views on the same behavior without page-specific CSS fixes.
+
+The MeshCentral recent-run list was also moved to the shared `data-table` component. HTML-only privacy report tables remain intentionally outside the interactive table system.

+# Update 0.5.5.88
+
+## Fixed
+
+- Keeps the complete table header (`thead`) fixed while vertically scrolling, so the title row and generated filter row always move together.
+- Keeps every header cell positioned (`position: relative`) so the existing column-resize handles continue to use the correct positioning context.
+- Preserves the unified column-width behavior from 0.5.5.87: widening one column grows the table while neighboring columns keep their width.
+- Preserves persisted column widths, filtering, sorting and column movement.
+- Applies the same behavior to all interactive `data-table` lists.
+
+## Result
+
+Interactive tables use one common behavior for:
+- sticky title row,
+- sticky filter row,
+- resizable columns,
+- table growth while widening columns,
+- persisted column widths,
+- filtering, sorting and column movement.
+
+The final 0.5.5.88 correction keeps `thead` sticky and the individual `th` elements relative. This combination avoids the conflict between sticky headers and absolutely positioned resize handles.
+- Close the small visual seam between sticky title and filter rows with an opaque THEAD background.
