 English (US) release notes, mirroring CHANGELOG.md (Brazilian Portuguese). Before publishing a version, add a `## [VERSION]` section to **both** files: the workflow publishes the section matching the tag from each one and fails if either is missing.
 
 ## [Unreleased]
+### Fixes
+- FPS counter: the style saved in Settings now applies as soon as the session starts. Before, the counter only showed up after cycling the "FPS counter" row in the session menu. (#139)
 
 ## [1.6.0-beta.7]
 ### Heads-up: beta version, not the stable one

 Notas em português do Brasil; a versão em inglês (Estados Unidos) fica em `CHANGELOG.en-US.md`. Antes de publicar uma versão, adicione uma seção `## [VERSÃO]` com o changelog daquela versão **nos dois arquivos**. O workflow publica as duas seções correspondentes à tag na mesma release e falha se faltar alguma.
 
 ## [Unreleased]
+### Correções
+- Contador de FPS: o estilo salvo em Ajustes agora vale assim que a sessão começa. Antes, o contador só aparecia depois de alternar a linha "Contador de FPS" no menu da sessão. (#139)
 
 ## [1.6.0-beta.7]
 ### Atenção: versão beta, não é a estável
