Release 0.27.0: hide-updates filter and consistent Hide-* toggle labels

Adds a 'Hide updates available' toggle to the import dialog (default off; update-available rows are actionable so shown by default). Relabels 'Show trashed' to 'Hide trashed' so all four filter toggles share one polarity (checked = hidden).

 ## [Unreleased]
 
+## [0.27.0] - 2026-07-08
+
+### Added
+
+- **New "Hide updates available" filter in the import dialog.** A recording you already imported but later changed in Plaud shows an "Update available" badge; re-importing it overwrites the note with Plaud's newer version. Those rows stay visible by default, because they are work you may still want to do. The new "Hide updates available" toggle collapses them too, so the list can show only brand-new recordings when you want the shortest possible list.
+
+### Changed
+
+- **The import dialog's filter toggles now read consistently.** All four are phrased as "Hide ...": "Hide already-processed", "Hide updates available", "Hide ignored", and "Hide trashed" (previously "Show trashed"). A checked box now always means "this is hidden", so the whole bar reads the same way instead of mixing hide and show. Behavior is unchanged: trash is still hidden by default.
