+# What's New in RobotCode v2.5.1
+
+A quick follow-up to v2.5.0 with three bugfixes that came in from your reports — thanks for filing them.
+
+## Template Keywords No Longer Flag Embedded Arguments as Unresolved
+
+If you use `[Template]` or `Test Template` with a keyword that has embedded arguments — something like `The result of ${calculation} should be ${expected}` — **RobotCode** was treating the embedded argument placeholders as unresolved variables and showing false `VariableNotFound` diagnostics.
+
+This happened because the analyzer didn't distinguish between regular variable references and embedded argument placeholders when the keyword call came from a template declaration. Fixed: embedded argument tokens in template contexts are now skipped during variable analysis. ([#542](https://github.com/robotcodedev/robotcode/issues/542))
+
+## Multi-Word BDD Prefixes Now Match Correctly
+
+Languages with multi-word BDD prefixes — most notably French with prefixes like *Étant donné que*, *Et que*, and *Mais que* — weren't always recognized correctly. The problem: shorter prefixes (e.g. *Et*) matched before longer ones (e.g. *Et que*), consuming the prefix too early and leaving the keyword name garbled.
+
+**RobotCode** now sorts prefixes by length (longest first) and uses a single compiled regex for matching, which is the same strategy Robot Framework itself uses internally. This applies to keyword resolution, BDD prefix stripping, and semantic token highlighting. ([#560](https://github.com/robotcodedev/robotcode/issues/560))
+
+## `${CURDIR}` Works Correctly in Variable Values on Windows
+
+The `${CURDIR}` variable in resource file variable tables was broken on Windows due to inconsistent backslash escaping. The resource builder used quadruple backslashes (`\\\\`) while the namespace analyzer used double backslashes (`\\`), and neither was correct for all cases.
+
+Both code paths now share a single `replace_curdir_in_variable_values()` helper with consistent escaping. ([#589](https://github.com/robotcodedev/robotcode/issues/589))
