+### Changed
+- Month-view event titles no longer end in an ellipsis. The "…" took the width
+  of a couple of characters and told you nothing you couldn't already see, so
+  the title now simply runs to the edge of its chip — a few more letters per
+  cell, which is often the difference between two events you can tell apart and
+  two you can't ([#164]).
