 # EPrices – Version History
 
+## v1.2.1 — 2026-04-07
+
+Stability and housekeeping patch. No new sensors, no secrets changes,
+no entity ID changes. Drop-in replacement for v1.2.
+
+### ESP32 main task stack size increase
+
+Doubled the FreeRTOS main task stack from 8192 to 16384 bytes via
+`CONFIG_ESP_MAIN_TASK_STACK_SIZE`. Eliminates the stack overflow scenario
+most likely responsible for the spontaneous reboot observed in production
+on 2026-04-06 during a simultaneous NVS load + HTTP fetch/parse cycle.
+
+### Price vector heap pre-allocation at boot
+
+Added `.reserve(96)` on all four price vectors (`price_timestamps_today`,
+`price_values_today`, `price_timestamps_tomorrow`, `price_values_tomorrow`)
+in the `on_boot` lambda. Prevents repeated heap reallocation during NVS load
+and HTTP parse operations, reducing heap fragmentation and peak allocation
+pressure during the boot sequence.
+
+### Hourly JSON sensor cleared state unified
+
+`Today JSON Hourly Prices EUR⁄kWh` and `Tomorrow JSON Hourly Prices EUR⁄kWh`
+now publish `""` when cleared, matching the existing behaviour of all six
+15-minute JSON sensors. Previously they published `"[]"`.
+
+See `CHANGELOG.md` for full implementation details.
