v4.1.1

When compiling multiple ts_* source directories to dist_ts_* outputs,
imports like '../ts_shared/helper.js' now correctly become
'../dist_ts_shared/helper.js' in the compiled output.

Uses targeted regex patterns that only match import/export/require
statements, avoiding false positives in strings or comments.

 # Changelog
 
+## 2026-01-04 - 4.1.0 - feat(docs)
+update README with improved docs and monorepo/tspublish guidance; namespace and extend npmextra.json with release registries; bump several dependencies
+
+- Bumped dependencies: @git.zone/tspublish ^1.10.3 → ^1.11.0, @push.rocks/smartfs ^1.2.0 → ^1.3.1, @git.zone/tstest ^3.1.3 → ^3.1.4, @types/node ^25.0.1 → ^25.0.3
+- npmextra.json reorganized: replaced legacy keys with namespaced entries (@git.zone/cli, @git.zone/tsdoc) and added @ship.zone/szci; added release configuration with registries [https://verdaccio.lossless.digital, https://registry.npmjs.org] and public accessLevel
+- README rewritten: improved formatting, added emojis and tables, new 'Issue Reporting and Security' section, monorepo/tspublish usage docs, auto-unpack and decorator guidance, CI/CD and troubleshooting improvements
+- Non-breaking changes; recommended next semantic version bump is minor
+
+## 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)
