 ## [Unreleased]
 
+### Added
+
+- Free API key (`:fx` suffix) support with automatic endpoint resolution to `api-free.deepl.com`
+- Shared endpoint resolver used by all commands including voice, auth, and init
+- Custom/regional endpoint support (e.g. `api-jp.deepl.com`) that takes priority over auto-detection
+
+### Changed
+
+- Voice API no longer hardcodes the Pro endpoint; it follows the same endpoint resolution as all other commands
+- `auth set-key` and `init` now validate entered keys against the correct endpoint based on key suffix
+- Standard DeepL URLs (`api.deepl.com`, `api-free.deepl.com`) in saved config no longer override key-based auto-detection
+
 ### Security
