+## [0.20.0] - 2026-07-07
+
+### Changed
+- **Spine-to-ISN underlay is now /31 point-to-point** (per the Cisco ACI
+ Multi-Site design guide) — each spine's ISN-facing VLAN-4 sub-interface
+ gets its own /31 pair (`172.16.{site}.{2*si}/31`, IPN peer `.{2*si+1}`)
+ instead of the previous shared `/24` LAN segment with a single `.254`
+ IPN router. `ospfIf.addr` and each `ospfAdjEp` peer reflect the per-link
+ pair; the ISN CSW's LLDP mgmt address is unchanged (a device-level
+ management IP, not an interface address).
+- **`aci-sim graph` now mirrors the autoACI topology view logic**: ISN
+ uplinks are drawn solid (they are physical backbone links, dashes are for
+ overlays), the legend gains link-type entries (fabric link / ISN uplink /
+ vPC peer-link), and a **Physical links table** is rendered under the
+ diagram — one row per fabric link and per spine ISN uplink, the ISN rows
+ carrying the /31 local/remote IPs.
+
