 ### Fixed
-- Misplaced text sensors in custom panels (#11).
-- Wrong start position for circular progress (fan) sensor using a counter-clockwise direction (#12).
+- Misplaced text sensors in custom panels ([#11](https://github.com/zehnm/aoostar-rs/issues/11)).
+- Wrong start position for circular progress (fan) sensor using a counter-clockwise direction ([#12](https://github.com/zehnm/aoostar-rs/issues/12)).
+- sysinfo tool: make sensor file world-readable, create all parent directories.
 
 ### Added
-- Simple sensor panel with a file-based data source (#6). 
-- Initial support for fan-, progress-, & pointer-sensors (#8).
-- Use [mdBook](https://rust-lang.github.io/mdBook/) for documentation and publish user guide to GitHub pages (#10).
