+## [0.6.2] — 2026-05-30 — Current version badge on Settings
+
+### Added
+- Small grey pill follows the **"Radio — Settings"** heading: `v{RADIO_VERSION}`. Visible at a glance so you don't have to hover the plugin row in *Plugins → Installed* or open *About* just to check what version you're on.
+- Dark-theme variant of the badge (`#2c3338` background, `#c3c4c7` text) so it stays readable when `theme=dark`.
+
+**Files changed:** `radio.php` (version), `inc/settings.php` (`<span class="radio-version-badge">v…</span>` inside the H1), `assets/css/radio.css` (`.radio-version-badge` styling + dark-theme override).

 ## [0.6.1] — 2026-05-30 — About page restructure
 
 By v0.6.0 the About page had eight version-history entries, each a full paragraph, dwarfing the other cards and pushing Credits + thanks off the visible area. v0.6.1 rebalances the layout.
