 # Changelog
 
+## 2026-02-03 - 4.3.0 - feat(docs)
+add LocalTsmDb documentation and examples; update README code samples and imports; correct examples and variable names; update package author
+
+- Introduce LocalTsmDb: zero-config local database with automatic persistence, auto port discovery, and pre-connected client (added Quick Start, API, Features, and testing examples).
+- Expand comparison table to include LocalTsmDb alongside SmartMongo and TsmDB.
+- Update README examples: new LocalTsmDb usage, reorder options (LocalTsmDb, TsmDB, SmartMongo), rename test DB variable (db -> testDb), and adjust test snippets for Jest/Mocha and tap. 
+- Adjust code snippets and API notes: switch some example imports to use tsmdb, replace FileStorageAdapter references, change planner.createPlan to await planner.plan, and use wal.getEntriesAfter(...) without awaiting. 
+- Update package.json author from 'Lossless GmbH' to 'Task Venture Capital GmbH'.
+
+## 2026-02-03 - 4.2.1 - fix(package.json)
+replace main and typings with exports field pointing to ./dist_ts/index.js
+
+- Added package.json exports field mapping "." to ./dist_ts/index.js to declare the package entrypoint.
+- Removed main (dist_ts/index.js) and typings (dist_ts/index.d.ts) entries.
+- Note: switching to exports improves Node resolution but removing the typings entry may affect TypeScript consumers expecting index.d.ts.
+
+## 2026-02-01 - 4.2.0 - feat(tsmdb)
+implement TsmDB Mongo-wire-compatible server, add storage/engine modules and reorganize exports
+
+- Add full TsmDB implementation under ts/ts_tsmdb: wire protocol, server, command router, handlers, engines (Query, Update, Aggregation, Index, Transaction, Session), storage adapters (Memory, File), OpLog, WAL, utils and types.
+- Remove legacy ts/tsmdb implementation and replace with new ts_tsmdb module exports.
+- Introduce ts/ts_mongotools module and move SmartMongo class there; update top-level exports in ts/index.ts to export SmartMongo, tsmdb (from ts_tsmdb) and LocalTsmDb.
+- Add LocalTsmDb convenience class (ts/ts_local) to start a file-backed TsmDB and return a connected MongoClient.
+- Refactor plugin imports into per-module plugins files and add utilities (checksum, persistence, query planner, index engine).
+
 ## 2026-02-01 - 4.1.1 - fix(tsmdb)
 add comprehensive unit tests for tsmdb components: checksum, query planner, index engine, session, and WAL

 ## 🚀 Quick Start
 
-### Option 1: SmartMongo (Real MongoDB)
+### Option 1: LocalTsmDb (Zero-Config Local Database) ⭐ NEW
+
+The easiest way to get started — just point it at a folder and you have a persistent MongoDB-compatible database with automatic port discovery!
+
+```typescript
+import { LocalTsmDb } from '@push.rocks/smartmongo';
+
+// Create a local database backed by files
+const db = new LocalTsmDb({ folderPath: './my-data' });
+
+// Start and get a connected MongoDB client
+const client = await db.start();
+
+// Use exactly like MongoDB
+const users = client.db('myapp').collection('users');
+await users.insertOne({ name: 'Alice', email: 'alice@example.com' });
+
+const user = await users.findOne({ name: 'Alice' });
+console.log(user); // { _id: ObjectId(...), name: 'Alice', email: 'alice@example.com' }
+
+// Data persists to disk automatically!
+await db.stop();
+
+// Later... data is still there
+const db2 = new LocalTsmDb({ folderPath: './my-data' });
+const client2 = await db2.start();
+const savedUser = await client2.db('myapp').collection('users').findOne({ name: 'Alice' });
+// savedUser exists!
+```
+
+### Option 2: TsmDB (Wire Protocol Server)
+
+A lightweight, pure TypeScript MongoDB-compatible server — use the official `mongodb` driver directly!
+
+```typescript
+import { tsmdb } from '@push.rocks/smartmongo';
+import { MongoClient } from 'mongodb';
+
+// Start TsmDB server
+const server = new tsmdb.TsmdbServer({ port: 27017 });
+await server.start();
+
+// Connect with the official MongoDB driver
+const client = new MongoClient('mongodb://127.0.0.1:27017');
+await client.connect();
+
+// Use exactly like real MongoDB
+const db = client.db('myapp');
+await db.collection('users').insertOne({ name: 'Alice', age: 30 });
+
+const user = await db.collection('users').findOne({ name: 'Alice' });
+console.log(user); // { _id: ObjectId(...), name: 'Alice', age: 30 }
+
+// Clean up
+await client.close();
+await server.stop();
+```
+
+### Option 3: SmartMongo (Real MongoDB)
 
 Spin up a real MongoDB replica set in memory — perfect for integration tests that need full MongoDB compatibility.

-### Option 2: TsmDB (Wire Protocol Server)
+## 📖 LocalTsmDb API
 
-A lightweight, pure TypeScript MongoDB-compatible server that speaks the wire protocol — use the official `mongodb` driver directly!
+The simplest option for local development and prototyping — zero config, auto port discovery, and automatic persistence.
+
+### Basic Usage
 
 ```typescript
-import { tsmdb } from '@push.rocks/smartmongo';
-import { MongoClient } from 'mongodb';
+import { LocalTsmDb } from '@push.rocks/smartmongo';
 
-// Start TsmDB server
-const server = new tsmdb.TsmdbServer({ port: 27017 });
-await server.start();
+const db = new LocalTsmDb({
+  folderPath: './data',    // Required: where to store data
+  port: 27017,             // Optional: defaults to auto-discovery
+  host: '127.0.0.1',       // Optional: bind address
+});
 
-// Connect with the official MongoDB driver!
-const client = new MongoClient('mongodb://127.0.0.1:27017');
-await client.connect();
+// Start and get connected client
+const client = await db.start();
 
-// Use exactly like real MongoDB
-const db = client.db('myapp');
-await db.collection('users').insertOne({ name: 'Alice', age: 30 });
+// Access the underlying server if needed
+const server = db.getServer();
+const uri = db.getConnectionUri();
 
-const user = await db.collection('users').findOne({ name: 'Alice' });
-console.log(user); // { _id: ObjectId(...), name: 'Alice', age: 30 }
+// Check status
+console.log(db.running); // true
 
-// Clean up
-await client.close();
-await server.stop();
+// Stop when done
+await db.stop();
 ```
 
+### Features
+
+- 🔍 **Auto Port Discovery** — Automatically finds an available port if 27017 is in use
+- 💾 **Automatic Persistence** — Data saved to files, survives restarts
+- 🔌 **Pre-connected Client** — `start()` returns a ready-to-use MongoDB client
+- 🎯 **Zero Config** — Just specify a folder path and you're good to go
