+This release fixes core using a full CPU core while idle after a configuration change, and makes the control plane pause instead of spinning when it cannot accept connections.
+
+**Upgrade notes**
+
+- The control-plane protocol version stays at 54; ThinkWatch Lite releases that include 0.83.0 or 0.83.1 connect to 0.83.2 and the other way round.
+- The request store's schema and the configuration are unchanged; nothing is cleared.
+- No new message codes.
+
+**No more busy loop after a configuration change.** Since 0.78.0, any local configuration change (renaming a client, adding an upstream, editing the file) scheduled a sync round 10 seconds later. When sync was off, could not be set up from its settings, or was paused in safe mode, that round ended without consuming the scheduled time, so the sync scheduler woke immediately again and kept one CPU core busy until core restarted. The scheduled time is now consumed at the start of every round. Periodic checks and retries are unchanged.
+
+**The control plane pauses after an accept error.** When the local control socket or the remote control port could not accept a connection for a reason other than the connection itself going away (for example when core has run out of file descriptors), it retried at once, used a full CPU core and wrote a warning on every attempt. It now waits one second before accepting again, as the gateway ports already do.
