+= 1.6.3 =
+* New: `GET`/`PUT /amzec/v1/staff/settings` exposes "Anzahl Events" and "Sichtbarkeit in die Zukunft" (from Events > Einstellungen) to the app, so staff can change how many events show without a trip to wp-admin.
+
 = 1.6.2 =
 * Fix: `GET /amzec/v1/events` (used by the website's homepage) ignored the "Anzahl Events" setting under Events > Einstellungen when the caller didn't pass its own `count` - it silently fell back to a hardcoded 12 instead. It now falls back to the configured setting, same as the `[amzec_events]` shortcode already did.
