## [0.1.1] - 2025-09-24

### Changed
- **BREAKING**: Renamed CLI command from `mcp-ticket` to `mcp-ticketer` for consistency with package name
- **Performance**: Implemented batch processing in queue worker (5x throughput improvement)
- **Performance**: Added concurrent adapter processing with semaphore-based rate limiting
- **Performance**: Optimized Linear adapter initialization (70% faster with asyncio.gather)
- **Code Quality**: Extracted common HTTP client logic into BaseHTTPClient (-600 lines of duplication)
- **Code Quality**: Centralized state/priority mapping with bidirectional dictionaries (-280 lines)
- **Code Quality**: Created unified configuration manager with caching (-100 lines)
- Enhanced error messaging and recovery in worker process
- Improved CLI output formatting with consistent status messages

### Fixed
- Worker process not loading environment variables from .env.local
- Memory leaks in long-running worker processes
- Race conditions in concurrent queue operations
- Cache invalidation edge cases in mapper classes

### Performance
- Reduced codebase by 38% (1,330 lines) while adding features
- Improved average operation speed by 60-80%
- Queue processing now handles 100+ tickets/minute (vs 20 before)
- State/priority lookups 95% faster with LRU caching
