 # 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)
+- Fixed `Development Status` Classifier
+- Added <4.0 python version
+
+### 1.2.1: Patch - Changelog file (25.03.23)
+- Patches formation in changelog file.
+
+### 1.2.0: Refactor - Splitting Classes into Separate Files (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 UI adjustments.
+
+---
+
+## 1.0.x (25.03.06)
+### 1.0.1: Fixed spelling
+- Fixes spelling some places
+
+### 1.0.0: Fix version bump
+- Version was not bumped correctly
+
+---
+
+## 0.15.1: Final Polish (25.03.06)

+- EXIF insertion is now canceled if any image in the folder does not end with a number.
+- 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)
+- Updated the changelog to include missing entries.
+

+- Fixed a bug that made it impossible to process images.
+
+### 0.13.0: Requirements file (by Mr. Finch)
+- Added a requirements file.
+
+---
+
+## 0.12.x
+### 0.12.6: Disabled app restart on Windows (25.02.11)

+
+### 0.12.5: Fixed EXIF File Generation Bug (25.02.10)

+- Fixed pipeline publish error
+
+### 0.11.0: Refactor and Patches

+- Corrected layout issues in the preview window, repositioning elements to their proper places.
+- Added an application icon (may not work on all desktop environments).

+
+### 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.

+- 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.

-_Last updated: 28 Jan 2025_
+Developed on my [forgejo instance](https://code.boxyfoxy.net/CodeByMrFinchum), [GitLab](https://gitlab.com/CodeByMrFinchum) is used as backup.
 
 ## **Overview**
 
 **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://gitlab.com/CodeByMrFinchum/optima35), providing an intuitive way to interact with the core functionalities.

 ## **Current Status**
-### **Alpha Stage**
-
-OptimaLab35 is built using **PySide6** and **Qt**, offering a modern and flexible interface for **OPTIMA35**.
-
-The program is under **active development**, and while versions released on PyPI should not contain major bugs, occasional issues may arise.

-For the most accurate and detailed update information, please refer to the well-maintained [**CHANGELOG**](https://gitlab.com/CodeByMrFinchum/OptimaLab35/-/blob/main/CHANGELOG.md), as this README may occasionally lag behind the latest updates.
+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.

-OptimaLab35 is in active development, and even *stable* versions may produce errors in unexpected situations. It is a GUI for optima35.
-Please visit [OptimaLab35](https://gitlab.com/CodeByMrFinchum/OptimaLab35/-/blob/main/media/exif_editor.png?ref_type=heads) gitlab page for more information.
+**[OptimaLab35](https://code.boxyfoxy.net/CodeByMrFinchum/OptimaLab35)** is a graphical interface for the [optima35 library](https://code.boxyfoxy.net/CodeByMrFinchum/optima35), designed for efficient image and metadata management.
 
-Uses [optima35](https://gitlab.com/CodeByMrFinchum/optima35) to modify images.
+Developed on my [forgejo instance](https://code.boxyfoxy.net/CodeByMrFinchum), [GitLab](https://gitlab.com/CodeByMrFinchum) is used as backup.
+
+### **Features**
+- Resize, adjust brightness/contrast, and convert images to grayscale
+- Add customizable text-based watermarks
+- Manage EXIF data: add, copy, remove, and adjust timestamps
+- Preview image adjustments in real time
+- Theme selection (light, dark, auto)
+- Automatic updates via PyPI
