+### Changed
+- **The mount keeps working through a network drop.** When Drive stops answering, the daemon
+  now marks itself offline within about 20 seconds instead of failing every call for up to two
+  minutes. While offline, creating, renaming and deleting files and folders is queued instead of
+  failing with `Input/output error`, folders list from the local cache, and a read that needs
+  data from Drive waits up to 30 seconds for the connection. The daemon checks every few seconds
+  for the connection to return, then uploads the queued changes. A file whose creation timed
+  out but reached Drive anyway is taken over rather than uploaded again as a conflict copy.
+- **A dead connection is noticed sooner.** `proton-drive-rs` 0.7.1 sends TCP keepalives, so a
+  connection that died silently fails instead of waiting for its request timeout.

 ### Fixed
