 ## 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.

-## Migration from v13.x to v14.0.0
+## Migration to v16.0.0
 
-Version 14.0.0 introduces a breaking change with the new route-based configuration system:
+Version 16.0.0 completes the migration to a fully unified route-based configuration system with improved helper functions:
 
 ### Key Changes
 
-1. **Configuration Structure**: The configuration now uses the match/action pattern instead of the old domain-based and port-based approach
+1. **Pure Route-Based API**: The configuration now exclusively uses the match/action pattern with no legacy interfaces
-2. **SmartProxy Options**: Now takes an array of route configurations instead of `domainConfigs` and port ranges
+2. **Improved Helper Functions**: Enhanced helper functions with cleaner parameter signatures
-3. **Helper Functions**: New helper functions have been introduced to simplify configuration
+3. **Removed Legacy Support**: Legacy domain-based APIs have been completely removed
+4. **More Route Pattern Helpers**: Additional helper functions for common routing patterns
 
 ### Migration Example

+**Legacy Configuration (pre-v14)**:
 ```typescript
 import { SmartProxy, createDomainConfig, httpOnly, tlsTerminateToHttp } from '@push.rocks/smartproxy';

+    useProduction: true
+  }
+});
+```
+
+### Migration from v14.x/v15.x to v16.0.0
+
+If you're already using route-based configuration, update your helper function calls:
+
+```typescript
+// Old v14.x/v15.x style:
 createHttpsRoute({
-      ports: 443,
   domains: 'example.com',
   target: { host: 'localhost', port: 8080 },
   certificate: 'auto'
 })

-});
+// New v16.0.0 style:
+createHttpsTerminateRoute('example.com', { host: 'localhost', port: 8080 }, {
+  certificate: 'auto'
+})
 ```
 
-### Migration Steps
+### Complete Migration Steps
 
-1. Replace `domainConfigs` with an array of route configurations using `routes`
+1. Replace any remaining `domainConfigs` with route-based configuration using the `routes` array
-2. Convert each domain configuration to use the new helper functions
+2. Update helper function calls to use the newer parameter format (domain first, target second, options third)
-3. Update any code that uses `updateDomainConfigs()` to use `addRoutes()` or `updateRoutes()`
+3. Use the new specific helper functions (e.g., `createHttpsTerminateRoute` instead of `createHttpsRoute`)
-4. For port-only configurations, create route configurations with port matching only
+4. Update any code that uses `updateDomainConfigs()` to use `addRoutes()` or `updateRoutes()`
-5. For SNI-based routing, SNI is now automatically enabled when needed
+5. For port-only configurations, create route configurations with port matching only

-1. CertProvisioner converts route configs to domain configs internally
+1. ✅ **Phase 1:** CertProvisioner has been fully refactored to work natively with routes
-2. NetworkProxyBridge has conversion methods for domain-to-route configurations
+2. ✅ **Phase 2:** NetworkProxyBridge now works directly with route configurations
-3. Legacy interfaces and types still exist in the codebase
