 ## v0.1.5 (2026-04-11)
 
 ### Bug Fixes
+- Make WebSocket token query parameter optional to prevent connection failures for clients that authenticate via other means ([34eb7c7](https://git.dolgolyov-family.by/alexei.dolgolyov/media-player-server/commit/34eb7c7))
 - Fetch playback status eagerly on new WebSocket connection instead of waiting for the next poll cycle ([d09a0b9](https://git.dolgolyov-family.by/alexei.dolgolyov/media-player-server/commit/d09a0b9))
