 - You can now alternatively use `PUID` and `PGID` instead of `GROUP_ID` and `USER_ID` environment variables. Good for [yaml anchors](https://docs.docker.com/reference/compose-file/fragments/). [#260](https://github.com/pSpitzner/beets-flask/issues/260)
 
 ### Fixed
+
 - Missing library stats dont cause a crash on first launch anymore [#264](https://github.com/pSpitzner/beets-flask/issues/264)
 - Fixed a potential memory leak when checking if files are archives. We now only check the file extension instead of trying to open the file, which should avoid the issue with `tarfile.is_tarfile` [#258](https://github.com/pSpitzner/beets-flask/issues/258)
+- Fixed tmux terminal could not start in some environments if `SHELL` was not set currently. We now always start a bash shell [#282](https://github.com/pSpitzner/beets-flask/issues/282)
 
 ### Other (dev)
 
 - We now use `uv` (Universal Virtualenv) to manage python dependencies and run scripts in CI/CD. This should improve dependency resolution and installation times.
 - We now ship a static ffmpeg binary instead of installing ffmpeg via apt. This should reduce image size and improve compatibility across different host systems.
