 Control XMP location metadata with `--xmp-privacy keep|strip-location|strip-address`. The default is `keep`. Use `strip-address` to omit reverse-geocoded address fields while keeping GPS coordinates, or `strip-location` to omit both GPS and address fields.

-This release adds privacy controls for generated XMP sidecars.
+This release adds keyword and rating controls for generated XMP sidecars.
 
 ## Highlights
 
-- Add `--xmp-privacy keep|strip-location|strip-address`.
-- Keep existing behavior by default with `keep`.
-- Use `strip-address` to omit reverse-geocoded address fields while keeping GPS coordinates.
-- Use `strip-location` to omit both GPS coordinates and address fields.
+- Add `--xmp-keywords album-path|album|none`.
+- Add `--xmp-rating favorite|none`.
+- Keep existing behavior by default with album-path keywords and favorite-to-rating mapping.
+- Use these flags when another DAM or metadata tool should own keywords or ratings.
 
 ## Assets
 
 - `photoscli`: Apple Silicon macOS binary (`darwin/arm64`).
-- `photoscli-0.8.5-macos-arm64.zip`: Apple Silicon binary plus README, USERGUIDE, and CHANGELOG.
+- `photoscli-0.8.6-macos-arm64.zip`: Apple Silicon binary plus README, USERGUIDE, and CHANGELOG.
 - `USERGUIDE.md`: standalone user guide.
 
 Intel Macs are not currently a supported release target.
