 # Changelog
 
 ## 0.6.x
+### 0.6.5-a
+- No breaking changes to backward compatibility yet.
+- Updated the `process` function: an image can now be returned in a modified form without saving. It is returned as a Qt image, which is required for the new UI functionality.
+
 ### 0.6.4
 - Released a stable-ish version to ensure compatibility with the current GUI in OptimaLab35 (v0.1.0).
 - This version serves as a baseline before potential breaking changes in future updates.
