 # Changelog
 
+## 2025-05-10 - 16.0.1 - fix(smartproxy)
+No changes in this commit; configuration and source remain unchanged.
+
+
+## 2025-05-10 - 16.0.0 - BREAKING CHANGE(smartproxy/configuration)
+Migrate SmartProxy to a fully unified route‐based configuration by removing legacy domain-based settings and conversion code. CertProvisioner, NetworkProxyBridge, and RouteManager now use IRouteConfig exclusively, and related legacy interfaces and files have been removed.
+
+- Removed domain-config.ts and domain-manager.ts and all domain-based adapters
+- Updated CertProvisioner to extract domains from route configs instead of legacy domain configs
+- Refactored NetworkProxyBridge to convert routes directly to NetworkProxy configuration without legacy translation
+- Adjusted test suites to use route-based helpers (createHttpRoute, createHttpsRoute, etc.) and updated round-robin tests
+- Updated documentation (readme.plan.md and related docs) to reflect the clean break with a single unified configuration model
+
+## 2025-05-10 - 15.1.0 - feat(smartproxy)
+Update documentation and route helper functions; add createPortRange, createSecurityConfig, createStaticFileRoute, and createTestRoute helpers to the readme and tests. Refactor test examples to use the new helper API and remove legacy connection handling files (including the old connection handler and PortRangeManager) to fully embrace the unified route‐based configuration.
+
+- Added new helper functions (createPortRange, createSecurityConfig, createStaticFileRoute, createTestRoute) in readme and route helpers.
+- Refactored tests (test.forwarding.examples.ts, test.forwarding.unit.ts, etc.) to update references to the new API.
+- Removed legacy connection handler and PortRangeManager files to simplify code and align with route‐based configuration.
+
+## 2025-05-10 - 15.0.0 - BREAKING CHANGE(documentation)
+Update readme documentation to comprehensively describe the new unified route-based configuration system in v14.0.0
+
+- Added detailed description of IRouteConfig, IRouteMatch, and IRouteAction interfaces
+- Improved explanation of port, domain, path, client IP, and TLS version matching features
+- Included examples of helper functions (createHttpRoute, createHttpsRoute, etc.) with usage of template variables
+- Enhanced migration guide from legacy configurations to the new match/action pattern
+- Updated examples and tests to reflect the new documentation structure
+
+## 2025-05-09 - 13.1.3 - fix(documentation)
+Update readme.md to provide a unified and comprehensive overview of SmartProxy, with reorganized sections, enhanced diagrams, and detailed usage examples for various proxy scenarios.
+
+- Reorganized key sections to clearly list Primary API, Helper Functions, Specialized Components, and Core Utilities.
+- Added detailed Quick Start examples covering API Gateway, automatic HTTPS, load balancing, wildcard subdomain support, and comprehensive proxy server setups.
+- Included updated architecture flow diagrams and explanations of Unified Forwarding System and ACME integration.
+- Improved clarity and consistency across documentation, with revised formatting and expanded descriptions.
+
+## 2025-05-09 - 13.1.2 - fix(docs)
+Update readme to reflect updated interface and type naming conventions
+
+- Changed 'Interfaces' section to 'Interfaces and Types' with updated file references
+- Replaced 'SmartProxyOptions', 'AcmeOptions', 'ForwardConfig' with their new names 'ISmartProxyOptions', 'IAcmeOptions', 'IForwardConfig', etc.
+- Clarified API reference and project architecture documentation
+
+## 2025-05-09 - 13.1.1 - fix(typescript)
+Refactor types and interfaces to use consistent 'I' prefix and update related tests
+
+- Replaced DomainConfig with IDomainConfig and SmartProxyOptions with ISmartProxyOptions in various modules
+- Renamed SmartProxyCertProvisionObject to TSmartProxyCertProvisionObject for clarity
+- Standardized type names (e.g. ForwardConfig → IForwardConfig, Logger → ILogger) across proxy, forwarding, and certificate modules
+- Updated tests and helper functions to reflect new type names and ensure compatibility
+
+## 2025-05-09 - 13.1.0 - feat(docs)
+Update README to reflect new modular architecture and expanded core utilities: add Project Architecture Overview, update export paths and API references, and mark plan tasks as completed
+
+- Added a detailed Project Architecture Overview diagram and description of the new folder structure (core, certificate, forwarding, proxies, tls, http)
+- Updated exports section with revised file paths for NetworkProxy, Port80Handler, SmartProxy, SniHandler and added Core Utilities (ValidationUtils, IpUtils)
+- Enhanced API Reference section with updated module paths and TypeScript interfaces
+- Revised readme.plan.md to mark completed tasks in testing, documentation and code refactors
+
 ## 2025-05-09 - 13.0.0 - BREAKING CHANGE(project-structure)

-# SmartProxy Project Restructuring Plan
+# SmartProxy Complete Route-Based Implementation Plan
 
 ## Project Goal
-Reorganize the SmartProxy codebase to improve maintainability, readability, and developer experience through:
-1. Standardized naming conventions
-2. Consistent directory structure
-3. Modern TypeScript patterns
-4. Clear separation of concerns
-
-## Current Architecture Analysis
-
-Based on code analysis, SmartProxy has several well-defined but inconsistently named modules:
-
-1. **SmartProxy** - Primary TCP/SNI-based proxy with configurable routing
-2. **NetworkProxy** - HTTP/HTTPS reverse proxy with TLS termination
-3. **Port80Handler** - HTTP port 80 handling for ACME and redirects
-4. **NfTablesProxy** - Low-level port forwarding via nftables
-5. **Forwarding System** - New unified configuration for all forwarding types
-
-The codebase employs several strong design patterns:
-- **Factory Pattern** for creating forwarding handlers
-- **Strategy Pattern** for implementing different forwarding methods
-- **Manager Pattern** for encapsulating domain, connection, and security logic
-- **Event-Driven Architecture** for loose coupling between components

-## Import Strategy
-
-Since path aliases will not be used, we'll maintain standard relative imports throughout the codebase:
-
-1. **Import Strategy for Deeply Nested Files**
-   ```typescript
-   // Example: Importing from another component in a nested directory
-   // From ts/forwarding/handlers/http-handler.ts to ts/core/utils/validation-utils.ts
-   import { validateConfig } from '../../../core/utils/validation-utils.js';
-   ```
-
-2. **Barrel Files for Convenience**
-   ```typescript
-   // ts/forwarding/index.ts
-   export * from './config/forwarding-types.js';
-   export * from './handlers/base-handler.js';
-   // ... other exports
-
-   // Then in consuming code:
-   import { ForwardingHandler, httpOnly } from '../../forwarding/index.js';
-   ```
-
-3. **Flattened Imports Where Sensible**
-   ```typescript
-   // Avoid excessive nesting with targeted exports
-   // ts/index.ts will export key components for external use
-   import { SmartProxy, NetworkProxy } from '../index.js';
-   ```
-

-- Smaller, focused files with clear responsibilities
-- Unified patterns for common operations
-- Improved separation of concerns between components
-- Better test organization matching source structure
-
-### Performance and Compatibility
-- No performance regression from structural changes
-- Backward compatibility through type aliases and consistent exports
-- Clear migration path for dependent projects
-
-## Migration Strategy
-
-To ensure a smooth transition, we'll follow this approach for each component:
-
-1. Create the new file structure first
-2. Migrate code while updating relative imports
-3. Test each component as it's migrated
-4. Only remove old files once all dependencies are updated
-5. Use a phased approach to allow parallel work
-
-This approach ensures the codebase remains functional throughout the restructuring process while progressively adopting the new organization.
-
-## Measuring Success
-
-We'll measure the success of this restructuring by:
-
-1. Reduced complexity in the directory structure
-2. Improved code coverage through better test organization
-3. Faster onboarding time for new developers
-4. Less time spent navigating the codebase
-5. Cleaner git blame output showing cohesive component changes
-
-## Special Considerations
-
-- We'll maintain backward compatibility for all public APIs
-- We'll provide detailed upgrade guides for any breaking changes
-- We'll ensure the build process produces compatible output
-- We'll preserve commit history using git move operations where possible

+## Clean Break Approach
+
+To keep our codebase as clean as possible, we are taking a clean break approach with NO migration or compatibility support for domain-based configuration. We will:
+
+1. Completely remove all domain-based code
+2. Not provide any migration utilities in the codebase
+3. Focus solely on the route-based approach
+4. Document the route-based API as the only supported method
+
+This approach prioritizes codebase clarity over backward compatibility, which is appropriate since we've already made a clean break in the public API with v14.0.0.
+
