+# v 0.7.0
+
+## New: Ghost Detection System
+- **Universal Object Analysis**: Expanded ghost detection from CC-objects only to all object types (meshes, empties, curves, etc.)
+- **Enhanced Safety Framework**: Added comprehensive protection for legitimate objects outside scenes:
+  - WGT rig widgets (`WGT-*` objects)
+  - Modifier targets (curve modifiers, constraints)
+  - Constraint targets and references
+  - Particle system objects
+  - Collection instance objects (linked collection references)
+- **Smart Classification**: Objects not in scenes now categorized as:
+  - `LEGITIMATE`: Has valid use outside scenes (protected)
+  - `LOW PRIORITY`: Only collection reference (preserved)
+  - `GHOST`: Multiple users but not in scenes (removed)
+- **Conservative Cleanup Logic**: Only removes objects with 2+ users that have no legitimate purpose
+- **Updated UI**: Ghost Detector popup now shows "Ghost Objects Analysis" with enhanced categorization and object type details
+- **Improved Safety**: All linked/library content automatically protected from ghost detection
+
+# v 0.6.1
+
+## Bug Fixes
+- **Fixed flat color detection**: Redesigned algorithm with exact pixel matching and smart sampling
+- **Fixed AutoMat Extractor**: Now properly organizes images by material instead of dumping everything to common folder
+- **Fixed viewport color setting**: Resolved context restriction errors with deferred color application
+- **Fixed timer performance**: Reduced timer frequency and improved cancellation reliability
+- **Enhanced debugging**: Added comprehensive console reporting for all bulk operations
+
+## Improvements
+- Better performance with optimized sampling
+- More reliable cancellation system
+- Context-safe operations that don't interfere with Blender's drawing state
+
+# v 0.6.0
+
+- **Enhancement: Progress Reporting & Cancellation**
+  - Some of the PathMan's operators are pretty resource-intense. Due to Python's GIL, I haven't been able to figure out how to run some of these more efficiently. Without the console window, you're flying blind, so I've integrated a loading bar with progress reporting for the following operators:
+    - Flat Color Texture Renamer
+    - Remove Extensions
+    - Save All to image Paths
+    - Remap Selected
+    - Rename by Material
+    - AutoMat Extractor
+
+# v 0.5.1
+
+- **Enhanced AutoMat Extractor:**
+  - Added a crucial safety check to prevent textures from overwriting each other if they resolve to the same filename (e.g., `Image.001.png` and `Image.002.png` both becoming `Image.png`).
+  - The operator now correctly sanitizes names with numerical suffixes before saving.
+  - A new summary dialog now appears after the operation, reporting how many files were extracted successfully and listing any files that were skipped due to naming conflicts.
+  - Added a user preference to control the location of the `common` folder, allowing it to be placed either inside or outside the blend file's specific texture folder. A checkbox for this setting was added to the UI.
+- **Improved Suffix Handling:**
+  - The "Rename by Material" tool now correctly preserves spaces in packed texture names (e.g., `Flow Pack` instead of `FlowPack`).
+  - Added support for underscore-separated packed texture names (e.g., `flow_pack`).
+- **Bug Fixes:**
+  - Resolved multiple `AttributeError` and `TypeError` exceptions that occurred due to incorrect addon name lookups and invalid icon names, making the UI and addon registration more robust.
+
+# v 0.5.0
+
+- **Integrated Scene General: Free GPU VRAM**
+- **Integrated PathMan: Automatic Material Extractor**
+- **Integrated PathMan: Rename Image Textures by Material**: Added comprehensive texture suffix recognition
+  - Recognizes many Character Creator suffixes
+  - Recognizes most standard material suffixes
+  - Images with unrecognized suffixes are skipped instead of renamed, preventing unintended modifications
+  - Enhanced logging: Unrecognized suffix images are listed separately for easy identification
+- **UI Improvements**:
+  - Rearranged workflow layout: Make Paths Relative/Absolute moved to main workflow section
+  - Remap Selected moved under path preview for better workflow progression
+  - Rename by Material and AutoMat Extractor repositioned after Remap Selected
+  - Added Autopack toggle at beginning of workflow sections (both Node Editor and 3D Viewport)
+  - Consolidated draw functions: Node Editor panel now serves as master template for both panels
+
+# v 0.4.1
+
+- Fixed traceback error causing remap to fail to draw buttons
+
+# v 0.4.0
+
+Overhaul! Added new Scene General panel, major enhancements to all panels and functions.
+
+# v0.3.0
+
+- Added image path remapping for unpacked images, keeping them organized.
