 # Changelog
 
+## 2025-12-14 - 4.0.2 - fix(TsCompiler)
+Clear output directories before compilation to ensure clean builds and avoid stale files
+
+- TsCompiler.compileGlob now clears the destination directory (if it exists) before compiling each glob pattern.
+- Clearing is logged unless --quiet or --json flags are set (e.g. "🧹 Clearing output directory: <dest>").
+- Uses FsHelpers.removeDirectory to remove previous output, preventing stale or duplicate emitted files.
+- Documentation (readme.md) updated to advertise automatic output directory management / clean builds.
+- Removed stale compiled test artifacts from test/assets/output to avoid interference with tests.
+
+## 2025-12-13 - 3.1.3 - fix(npmextra)
+Align npmextra.json package name with package.json (@git.zone/tsbuild)
+
+- Corrected npmPackagename in npmextra.json from "@gitzone/tsbuild" to "@git.zone/tsbuild" to match package.json and README
+- Metadata-only change: no code or API behavior affected
+
+## 2025-11-28 - 3.1.2 - fix(TsBuild)
+Set default TypeScript target to ESNext
+
+- Default compiler target changed from ScriptTarget.ES2024 to ScriptTarget.ESNext in ts/tsbuild.classes.tsbuild.ts
+- Aligns the default compiler options with documentation and ensures use of the latest language features
+
+## 2025-11-27 - 3.1.1 - fix(compiler)
+Update default TypeScript target to ES2024
+
+- Default compiler option 'target' changed from ScriptTarget.ESNext to ScriptTarget.ES2024 in ts/tsbuild.classes.tsbuild.ts
+- Aligns emitted code to ES2024 language features by default
+
 ## 2025-11-17 - 3.1.0 - feat(tsbuild.classes)
 Update default TypeScript lib to lib.esnext.d.ts

+- File listing: `smartfs.directory(path).recursive().filter(pattern).list()`
+- File existence: `smartfs.file(path).exists()`
+- Directory existence: `smartfs.directory(path).exists()`
+- FsHelpers wraps smartfs for glob pattern support
+
+## Unpack Feature
+
+When TypeScript compiles files that import from sibling directories, it creates nested output:
+```
+dist_ts_core/
+  ts_core/        ← nested output
+  ts_shared/      ← pulled-in dependency
+```
+
+The unpack feature automatically flattens this to:
+```
+dist_ts_core/
+  index.js        ← flat
+```
+
+### Configuration
+- Reads `tspublish.json` from source folder
+- `unpack: true` (default if not present) → flatten output
+- `unpack: false` → skip unpacking
+
+### Implementation
+- `TsUnpacker` class in `mod_unpack/classes.tsunpacker.ts`
+- Called automatically after each successful compilation in `TsCompiler.compileGlob()`
+

-## Configuration Example (tsconfig.json)
-Paths get automatically transformed:
-```json
-{
-  "compilerOptions": {
-    "paths": {
-      "@utils/*": ["./ts_utils/*"]  // → ["./dist_ts_utils/*"]
-    }
-  }
-}

-## No ts_* folders found in project root
-The project itself doesn't have ts_interfaces, ts_shared, etc. directories.
-The tsfolders command is designed for OTHER projects using tsbuild.
