 # Changelog
 
+## 9.3.0
+
+### Added
+
+- SIGHUP-based configuration reload for watch mode — update output
+  destinations, DNS/GeoIP settings, processing flags, and log level
+  without restarting the service or interrupting in-progress report
+  processing. Use `systemctl reload parsedmarc` when running under
+  systemd.
+- Extracted `_parse_config_file()` and `_init_output_clients()` from
+  `_main()` in `cli.py` to support config reload and reduce code
+  duplication.

+### Reloading configuration without restarting
+
+When running in watch mode, `parsedmarc` supports reloading its
+configuration file without restarting the service or interrupting
+report processing that is already in progress. Send a `SIGHUP` signal
+to the process, or use `systemctl reload` if the unit file includes
+the `ExecReload` line shown above:
+
+```bash
+sudo systemctl reload parsedmarc
+```
+
+The reload takes effect after the current batch of reports finishes
+processing and all output operations (Elasticsearch, Kafka, S3, etc.)
+for that batch have completed. The following settings are reloaded:
+
+- All output destinations (Elasticsearch, OpenSearch, Kafka, S3,
+  Splunk, syslog, GELF, webhooks, Log Analytics)
+- Multi-tenant index prefix domain map (`index_prefix_domain_map` —
+  the referenced YAML file is re-read on reload)
+- DNS and GeoIP settings (`nameservers`, `dns_timeout`, `ip_db_path`,
+  `offline`, etc.)
+- Processing flags (`strip_attachment_payloads`, `batch_size`,
+  `check_timeout`, etc.)
+- Log level (`debug`, `verbose`, `warnings`, `silent`)
+
+Mailbox connection settings (IMAP host/credentials, Microsoft Graph,
+Gmail API, Maildir path) are **not** reloaded — changing those still
+requires a full restart.
+
+If the new configuration file contains errors, the reload is aborted
+and the previous configuration remains active. Check the logs for
+details:
+
+```bash
+journalctl -u parsedmarc.service -r
+```
+
 To check the status of the service, run:
 
 ```bash
