 # Changelog
+## 1.5.x
+### 1.5.0: Feature - Time of dateEdit now today
+- Changes that instead of the dateEdit elements being always set to a last day of 2024 it is the current day.
+
+## 1.4.x
+### 1.4.2: Fix links
+- Fixed that changelog was linked to GitLab, not it is to code.boxyfoxy.net
+- Fixed Changelog
+
+### 1.4.1: Fix CI
+- Fixed pipline
+### 1.4.0: New CI
+- Migrated repo from GitLab to my forgejo instance, therefore switching to woodpecker CI
+
+---
+
+## 1.3.x
+### 1.3.4: Fix - Spelling (25.04.01)
+- Fixed misspelling in preview window.
+
+### 1.3.3: Patch - Increased Preview Performance x2 (25.04.01)
+- Reduced preview stutter: Previously, the image was updated twice when changing brightness or contrast. Now, it updates only once, improving performance by 100%.
+- There is still room for improvement. Analysis shows that image processing takes the most time, while displaying in Qt is relatively fast. Reducing the image size impacts performance, so resizing to 50% is a good idea.
+- There is an issue where `QRunner` does not always finish in the correct order when brightness or contrast values are changed rapidly. ATM I do not know how to fix this easly.
+- The "Preview" watermark now displays the brightness and contrast levels of the shown image.
+
+### 1.3.2: Fix - Fixed problem with app folders (25.03.30)
+- Fixed a problem that the app folder path was not generated correctly.
+
+### 1.3.1: Fix - Fixed insert exif not working (25.03.27)
+- Fixed the feature that inserted exif into images without modifying them.
+
+### 1.3.0: Feature - Write Adjustments into EXIF (25.03.24)
+- Changes to contrast and brightness are now recorded in the EXIF comment section (labeled *Scanner* in the program).
+- This allows users to track what adjustments were made to an image.
+
+---
+
+## 1.2.x
+### 1.2.2: Patch - Pyproject file (25.03.23)

+- Refactored `gui.py`, which previously contained almost all the code, into multiple files.
+- Each window's logic is now in its own file, improving code organization.
+- Window layouts remain in `.ui` folder, while their logic is now properly separated.
+
+## 1.1.x
+### 1.1.0: Feature - New Function in Preview Window (25.03.23)
+- Added a new feature to the preview window: **Hold a button to temporarily view the original (unedited) image.** This makes it easier to compare changes.

+- Minor GUI adjustments for a more polished experience.
+- Disabled preview adjustment controls until an image is loaded to prevent errors.
+
+## 0.15.0: Preview Image Resizing Update (25.02.12)
+- Added the ability to change the preview image size dynamically.
+- Previously, the image was processed and displayed at its original size, causing lag or unresponsiveness when adjusting the slider.
+- Reducing the processed image size should help improve performance.
+- Default preview image size is now **25%**, but users can adjust it between **10% and 100%**.
+
+---
+
+## 0.14.x
+### 0.14.1: Patch changelog (25.02.12)

+
+---
+
+## 0.9.x
+### 0.9.2: Enhanced updater
+- Minor enhancments for the updater
+
+### 0.9.1: Patch for Unsuccessful Successful Update
+- Addressed a rare issue where the package did not update correctly using the updater.
+  - Unable to reproduce, but it may have been related to an older version and the restart process.
+- Added developer functions to test the updater without requiring a published release.
+
+### 0.9.0: UI Enhancements and Language Refinements
+- Changed text, labels, buttons, and checkboxes for clearer understanding.
+- Improved UI language to make the interface easier to navigate.
+- Added tooltips for more helpful information and guidance.
+- Updates applied across the main window (both tabs) and the preview window.
+
+---
+
+## 0.8.x
+### 0.8.5: Patch for New PyPiUpdater Version
+- **PyPiUpdater 0.5** introduced breaking changes; adjusted code to ensure compatibility with the new version.
+
+### 0.8.4: Minor Enhancements & Cleanup
+- Updated window titles.
+- Improved error handling for updater: now displays the specific error message instead of just **"error"** when an issue occurs during update checks.
+- Ensured all child windows close when the main window is closed.
+
+### 0.8.3: Fix - OptimaLab35 Not Closing After Update
+- Fixed an issue where **OptimaLab35** would not close properly when updating, resulting in an unresponsive instance and multiple running processes.
+
+### 0.8.2: Patch for New PyPiUpdater Version
+- Updated to support **PyPiUpdater 0.4.0**.
+- Now stores version information locally, preventing an "unknown" state on the first updater launch.
+  - Users still need to press the **Update** button to verify the latest version, ensuring an internet connection is available.
+
+### 0.8.1: Fix
+- Fixed a misspelling of `PyPiUpdater` in the build file, which prevented v0.8.0 from being installed.
+
+### 0.8.0: Updater Feature
+- Added an updater function utilizing my new package [PyPiUpdater](https://gitlab.com/CodeByMrFinchum/PyPiUpdater).
+- New updater window displaying the local version and checking for updates online.
+- Added an option to update and restart the app from the menu.
+
+---
+
+## 0.7.0: Enhanced Preview
+- Images loaded into the preview window are now scaled while maintaining aspect ratio.
+- Added live updates: changes to brightness, contrast, or grayscale are applied immediately.
+  - This may crush the system depending on image size and system specifications.
+- Removed Settings from menuBar, and extended the about window.
+
+---
+
+## 0.6.0: Initial Flatpak Support
+- Started Flatpak package building.
+- Not added to Flathub yet, as only stable software is hosted there.
+- Not fully completed, icon, name, and description are included, but the version is missing for some reason.
+- Local build and installation work. The Bash script `build_flatpak.sh` in the `flatpak/` directory generates all pip dependencies, then builds and installs the app locally.
+- `requirements-parser` has to be installed from pip to finish installing the flatpak (maybe more pypi packages..)
+
+---
+
+## 0.5.0
+- Removed all leftover of tui code that was hiding in some classes.
+
+---
+
+## 0.4.0
+- Fixed a critical issue that prevented the program from functioning.
+- Updated compatibility to align with the **upcoming** optima35 **release**.
+
+**Removal of TUI:**
+- The TUI version is no longer compatible with optima35 v1.0.
+- Maintaining two UIs has become too time-consuming, as the primary focus is on the GUI, which provides the best user experience. Recently, the TUI version was only receiving patches without any meaningful enhancements.
+
+---
 
 ## 0.3.x
-### 0.3.1 - 0.3.3
+### 0.3.7: prepear for optima35 release
+- Added a maximum version of dependencies list.
+
+### 0.3.6: Patch

 # **OptimaLab35**
-[OptimaLab35](https://gitlab.com/CodeByMrFinchum/OptimaLab35) is a graphical and terminal user interface for [optima35](https://gitlab.com/CodeByMrFinchum/optima35). It is under **heavy development**, and both UI elements and cross-platform compatibility may change.
+Developed on my [forgejo instance](https://code.boxyfoxy.net/CodeByMrFinchum), [GitLab](https://gitlab.com/CodeByMrFinchum) is used as backup.
 
 ## **Overview**
 
-**OptimaLab35** extends **OPTIMA35** (**Organizing, Processing, Tweaking Images, and Modifying scanned Analogs from 35mm Film**) by providing an intuitive interface for image and metadata management. While tailored for analog photography, it supports any type of image.
+**OptimaLab35** enhances **OPTIMA35** (**Organizing, Processing, Tweaking Images, and Modifying scanned Analogs from 35mm Film**) by offering a user-friendly graphical interface for efficient image and metadata management.
 
+It serves as a GUI for the [optima35 library](https://code.boxyfoxy.net/CodeByMrFinchum/optima35), providing an intuitive way to interact with the core functionalities.
+
+---
 
 ## **Current Status**
+The program has reached a stable release. All functions have been tested, and there should be *no* bugs.
+While there is always room for additional features and optimizations, the core functionality is complete and reliable.
 
-### **Versioning and Compatibility**
-
-The preserved version **v0.1.0** ensures stability with the current GUI design. It depends on **optima35==0.6.4**, a version confirmed to work seamlessly with this release. Future updates may introduce breaking changes, especially as the project evolves across platforms.
-
-### **Installation**
-
-Install via pip (dependencies are automatically managed, except for `simple-term-menu` used in TUI mode, which is Linux-only):
-```bash
-pip install OptimaLab35
-```
-
-## **Development and Notes**
-
-**Alpha Stage**
-- UI designs (GUI and TUI) are evolving, and breaking changes may occur.
-- The [**CHANGELOG**](https://gitlab.com/CodeByMrFinchum/OptimaLab35/-/blob/main/CHANGELOG.md) provides detailed updates.
-- Some safety checks are still under development.
-
-**Modes:**
-- **GUI**: Default if **PySide6** is available.
-- **TUI**: Fallback if **PySide6** is missing or can be explicitly started using the `--tui` flag.
