+## New features
+
+- **Expanded marketing site** — The urBackend site now includes dedicated `/features`, `/use-cases`, `/developers`, and `/mongodb` pages so you can explore what urBackend does before signing up. (by [@yash-pouranik](https://github.com/yash-pouranik) in [#408](https://github.com/geturbackend/urbackend/pull/408))
+- **Comparison pages** — New side-by-side comparison pages at `/compare/firebase` and `/compare/supabase`, plus a `/compare` index, help you see how urBackend stacks up against other BaaS providers. (by [@yash-pouranik](https://github.com/yash-pouranik) in [#408](https://github.com/geturbackend/urbackend/pull/408))
+- **Blog** — A new `/blog` section launches with three posts: *Getting started with urBackend in 5 minutes*, *MongoDB BaaS vs traditional backend*, and *Why we built urBackend*. (by [@yash-pouranik](https://github.com/yash-pouranik) in [#408](https://github.com/geturbackend/urbackend/pull/408))
+- **Public changelog page** — A `/changelog` page on the marketing site surfaces recent product updates in a timeline view, alongside the full changelog here in the docs. (by [@yash-pouranik](https://github.com/yash-pouranik) in [#408](https://github.com/geturbackend/urbackend/pull/408))

+## Improvements
+
+- **SEO metadata and trust badges** — Marketing pages now ship with full SEO metadata (Open Graph, Twitter cards, canonical URLs) and a trust-badges strip on the homepage highlighting the technologies urBackend is built on. (by [@yash-pouranik](https://github.com/yash-pouranik) in [#408](https://github.com/geturbackend/urbackend/pull/408))
+- **Refreshed navbar and footer** — The site navigation has been rebuilt with dropdown menus grouping product, developer, and company links; the footer has been reorganized to match. (by [@yash-pouranik](https://github.com/yash-pouranik) in [#408](https://github.com/geturbackend/urbackend/pull/408))
+- **Updated pricing page** — The `/pricing` page has been reworked with clearer plan comparisons. (by [@yash-pouranik](https://github.com/yash-pouranik) in [#408](https://github.com/geturbackend/urbackend/pull/408))
+
+## Bug fixes
+
+- **Sitemap points to the right file** — Requests to `/sitemap.xml` now redirect straight to `/sitemap-0.xml`, which contains the full list of marketing pages, so search engines can index every page. (by [@yash-pouranik](https://github.com/yash-pouranik) in [`94c78f4`](https://github.com/geturbackend/urbackend/commit/94c78f4))
+- **urBackend favicon on the marketing site** — The browser tab favicon on the marketing site is now the urBackend logo instead of the default Astro icon. (by [@yash-pouranik](https://github.com/yash-pouranik) in [`96e96a3`](https://github.com/geturbackend/urbackend/commit/96e96a3))
+- **Accessibility and date fixes on landing pages** — Addressed review feedback covering landing-page accessibility, date formatting, and other polish items. (by [@yash-pouranik](https://github.com/yash-pouranik) in [`c342601`](https://github.com/geturbackend/urbackend/commit/c342601))
