+## 0.36.0 — leaner administration polling
+
+- **Polling API:** `GET /api/cache`, `GET /api/transform` and `GET /api/traffic` now accept `view=live` for lightweight periodic refreshes. The default response remains the complete backward-compatible payload. Live responses carry the configuration `revision`, and the panel automatically reloads static data when that revision changes.
+- **Panel network load:** Cache and Transform polling no longer retransmit static settings/Vhost configuration on every refresh; Traffic polling omits the static Vhost list. Certificate API credentials are fetched only when the corresponding Settings tab is opened.
+- **Refresh behavior:** configuration writes and operational actions refresh status without also forcing a full `/api/logs` snapshot. Initial load, explicit log refresh and the existing live-log/fallback path retain log coverage.
+- **API contract:** OpenAPI documents the polling views and revision fields; regression tests cover compatibility, invalid views and the panel refresh contract.
+- **Upgrade notes:** no configuration or database changes are required. Existing API clients that do not send `view=live` retain their previous response shapes, with the additive `revision` field on Cache, Transform and Traffic observations.

 ## 0.35.5 — Overview polish and cache build fix
 
 - **Overview charts:** the cache-results heading now matches the other chart headings and its HIT/MISS/BYPASS legend stays on one line; system uptime is shown in the System load header; the backend count is aligned with Open connections; the redundant Requests per second footer was removed from the PHP requests tile.
