 # Changelog
 
+## 2025-01-07 - 11.1.2 - fix(fs)
+Fix issues in file stability check and directory existence verification in fs module
+
+- Removed unused variable 'isFileAvailable' in 'waitForFileToBeReady'.
+- Fixed logic for ensuring the target directory exists before setting up file stability watcher.
+- Refactored directory existence logic into 'ensureDirectoryExists' function.
+
 ## 2025-01-07 - 11.1.1 - fix(fs)
 Improve waitForFileToBeReady function for file stability detection
