 Changelog
 ---------
 
+22.1.0 (2026-09-04)
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Added
+^^^^^
+
+* Added a PEP 517 build target under ``tools/wheel_builder`` so package managers can install the aggregate Isaac Lab
+  package directly from a Git source without duplicating Isaac Lab's dependency list downstream.
+* Added ``net_forces_w`` as the total contact force (normal + friction), with matching history
+  and filtered-matrix properties. PhysX and OVPhysX cannot compute a total force, so they
+  return the corresponding normal-force quantity and warn.
+* Added ``friction_forces_w`` as the aggregate friction force. PhysX and OVPhysX only provide
+  filtered friction, so they return ``friction_force_matrix_w`` and warn.
+* Added explicit aggregate and filtered normal and friction force contracts, including
+  ``net_friction_forces_w_history`` and ``friction_force_matrix_w_history``.
+
+Changed
+^^^^^^^
+
+* Changed the cuRobo Docker image to install from ``uv.lock`` into the virtual environment at
+  ``/opt/isaaclab-venv``, matching the base image. Isaac Sim's site-packages is left untouched,
+  so the image no longer deletes the prebundled torch, re-bootstraps ``pip`` afterwards, or
+  uninstalls ``quadprog``. cuRobo itself is still built from its pinned commit against the
+  environment's torch.
+* Changed the Docker images to install from ``uv.lock`` into a virtual environment at
+  ``/opt/isaaclab-venv`` instead of into Isaac Sim's own site-packages, leaving the shipped
+  Isaac Sim environment untouched and applying ``[tool.uv] override-dependencies``.
+* Changed the ``teleop`` extra to carry only the teleop stack; Isaac Sim is no longer bundled
+  with it. Environments that already provide Kit, such as the container images, no longer
+  install a second copy of it. Install ``--extra teleop,isaacsim`` to get the Isaac Sim wheel
+  as before.
+* Renamed the ``test`` extra to ``dev``, which still carries the test suite plus the
+  documentation toolchain. Use ``--extra dev`` where ``--extra test`` was used to build docs.
+* Changed the ``test`` extra to carry the test suite alone, without the documentation
+  toolchain, so the container images can install it without shipping Sphinx and its
+  GPL-3.0-or-later ``docutils`` dependency.
+* Extended :func:`~isaaclab.sim.schemas.apply_fixed_tendon_properties` to target both
+  ``PhysxTendonAxisRootAPI`` and ``PhysxTendonAxisAPI`` instances, allowing backend fragments to
+  configure whole fixed tendons and their individual joint-axis contributions separately.
+
+Fixed
+^^^^^
+
+* Fixed ``isaaclab.sh`` and the ``isaaclab`` CLI rejecting a virtual environment that was created on
+  a downloaded Isaac Sim package's own Python. Such an environment reuses that interpreter, so Kit's
+  extension modules load exactly as they do under the bundled Python; only environments supplying
+  their own interpreter, such as conda, are still refused. Create one with
+  ``uv venv --python _isaac_sim/kit/python/bin/python3``.
+* Fixed :func:`~isaaclab.terrains.trimesh.mesh_terrains.star_terrain` failing with
+  ``AttributeError: module 'numpy' has no attribute 'math'``. The function used the ``np.math``
+  alias, which was removed in NumPy 2.0, and now uses the standard library ``math`` module instead.
+* Fixed the Isaac Lab wheel to install core modules in a flat ``isaaclab`` package instead of
+  exposing a nested source package through a modified package search path.
+* Fixed the legacy fixed- and spatial-tendon writers authoring properties under the applied API
+  type name. They now use the schema-owned ``physxTendon:<instance>:*`` namespace that PhysX reads.
