 # Changelog
 
+## 0.1.0.0038 — 2026-07-11
+
+### Fixed
+- Authelia `authentication_backend.file.watch: true` — YAML changes now auto-reload, so new users can log in immediately after creation
+
+### Investigation: User Onboarding Emails
+- SMTP config is correct (`notifier.smtp` → `smtp.openxchange.eu:587`)
+- SMTP connection test passed (TLS handshake successful)
+- authelia-api does NOT send onboarding emails — returns `placeholder_password` in API response instead
+- This is an API feature gap, not a configuration issue
+
 ## 0.1.0.0037 — 2026-07-11
