-## 2025-03-11 - 3.31.2 - fix(PortProxy)
-Improve SNI renegotiation handling by adding flexible domain configuration matching on rehandshake and session resumption events.
-
-- When a rehandshake is detected with a changed SNI, first check existing domain config rules and log if allowed.
-- If the exact domain config is not found, additionally attempt flexible matching using parent domain and wildcard patterns.
-- For resumed sessions, try an exact match first and then use fallback logic to select a similar domain config based on matching target IP.
-- Enhanced logging added to help diagnose missing or mismatched domain configurations.
-
-## 2025-03-11 - 3.31.1 - fix(PortProxy)
-Improve TLS handshake buffering and enhance debug logging for SNI forwarding in PortProxy

-
-
-## 2025-03-11 - 3.30.7 - fix(PortProxy)
-Improve TLS renegotiation SNI handling by first checking if the new SNI is allowed under the existing domain config. If not, attempt to find an alternative domain config and update the locked domain accordingly; otherwise, terminate the connection on SNI mismatch.
-
-- Added a preliminary check against the original domain config to allow re-handshakes if the new SNI matches allowed patterns.
-- If the original config does not allow, search for an alternative domain config and validate IP rules.
-- Update the locked domain when allowed, ensuring connection reuse with valid certificate context.
-- Terminate the connection if no suitable domain config is found or IP restrictions are violated.
-
-## 2025-03-11 - 3.30.6 - fix(PortProxy)
-Improve TLS renegotiation handling in PortProxy by validating the new SNI against allowed domain configurations. If the new SNI is permitted based on existing IP rules, update the locked domain to allow connection reuse; otherwise, terminate the connection to prevent misrouting.
-
-- Added logic to check if a new SNI during renegotiation is allowed by comparing IP rules from the matching domain configuration.
-- Updated detailed logging to indicate when a valid SNI change is accepted and when it results in a mismatch termination.

-This release marks a major transition with several breaking changes.
-
-- BREAKING CHANGE: switched core to ESM (EcmaScript Module)
-- Major core updates
+- Move route security from action.security to the top-level route.security to correctly enforce IP allow/block lists (addresses failing in test.route-security.ts)
+- Update readme.problems.md to document the routing security configuration issue with proper instructions
+- Adjust certificate metadata in certs/static-route/meta.json with updated timestamps
+- Update test.acme-timing.ts to export default tap.start() instead of tap.start() to ensure proper parsing
+- Improve socket simulation and event handling mocks in test.http-fix-verification.ts and test.http-forwarding-fix.ts to more reliably mimic net.Socket behavior
+- Minor adjustments in multiple test files to ensure proper port binding, race condition handling and route lookups (e.g. getRoutesForPort implementation)
+
+## 2025-05-29 - 19.5.2 - fix(test)
+Fix ACME challenge route creation and HTTP request parsing in tests
+

+
+## 2025-05-29 - 19.5.1 - fix(socket-handler)
+Fix socket handler race condition by differentiating between async and sync handlers. Now, async socket handlers complete their setup before initial data is emitted, ensuring that no data is lost. Documentation and tests have been updated to reflect this change.
+
+- Added detailed explanation in readme.hints.md about the race condition issue, root cause, and solution implementation.
+- Provided a code snippet that checks if the socket handler returns a Promise and waits for its resolution before emitting initial data.
+- Updated tests (test.socket-handler-race.ts, test.socket-handler.simple.ts, test.socket-handler.ts) to verify correct behavior of async handlers.
+
+## 2025-05-28 - 19.5.0 - feat(socket-handler)
+Add socket-handler support for custom socket handling in SmartProxy
+
+- Introduce new action type 'socket-handler' in IRouteAction to allow users to provide a custom socket handler function.

+- Provide optional context (such as route configuration, client IP, and port) to the socket handler if needed.
+- Add helper functions in route-helpers for creating socket handler routes and common patterns like echo, proxy, and line-based protocols.
+- Include a detailed implementation plan and usage examples in readme.plan.md.
+
+## 2025-05-28 - 19.4.3 - fix(smartproxy)
+Improve port binding intelligence and ACME challenge route management; update route configuration tests and dependency versions.
+
+- Bumped dev dependency versions in package.json (tsbuild from ^2.5.1 to ^2.6.4, tstest from ^1.9.0 to ^2.3.1, @types/node updated, smartfile from ^11.2.0 to ^11.2.5, smartlog from ^3.1.7 to ^3.1.8)

+- Enhanced PortManager with reference counting and smarter port conflict detection to avoid redundant bindings
+- Refined ACME challenge route integration to merge with existing port bindings and improve error handling
+- Adjusted test expectations (e.g. using toEqual instead of toBe, and improved timeout handling) to align with current API changes
+
+## 2025-05-20 - 19.4.2 - fix(dependencies)
+Update dependency versions: upgrade @types/node to ^22.15.20 and @push.rocks/smartlog to ^3.1.7 in package.json

+
+## 2025-05-20 - 19.4.1 - fix(smartproxy)
+Bump @push.rocks/smartlog to ^3.1.3 and improve ACME port binding behavior in SmartProxy
+
+- Updated package.json to use @push.rocks/smartlog version ^3.1.3
+- Enhanced tests (test.http-port8080-simple.ts) to verify improved port binding intelligence for ACME challenge routes
+- Ensured that existing port listeners are reused and not re-bound when updating routes
+
+## 2025-05-20 - 19.4.0 - feat(certificate-manager, smart-proxy)
+Improve port binding intelligence for ACME challenges
+
+- Reordered SmartProxy initialization flow to bind ports before initializing the certificate manager
+- Enhanced port binding logic to better handle ACME challenge routes
+- Improved error detection and reporting for port binding conflicts
+- Added better diagnostics for ACME challenge port issues
+- Made route updates more intelligent with detailed port tracking
+- Fixed race condition where ACME routes were added before port 80 was bound

+
+- Added try/catch blocks around logger calls in certificate-manager.ts
+- Added try/catch blocks around logger calls in smart-proxy.ts related to route updates
+- Provided fallback to console.log when logger fails
+- Ensured core route update functionality continues to work even if logging fails
+
+## 2025-05-20 - 19.3.13 - fix(port-manager, certificate-manager)
+Improve port binding and ACME challenge route integration in SmartProxy
+
+- Added reference counting in PortManager so that routes sharing the same port reuse the existing binding.
+- Enhanced error handling to distinguish internal port conflicts from external ones, with more descriptive messages.
+- Adjusted ACME challenge route addition to merge with existing port bindings when port is already in use.
+- Refactored updateRoutes to release orphaned ports and bind only new required ports, minimizing rebinding operations.
+- Improved certificate-manager logic to provide clearer error notifications when ACME port conflicts occur.
+
+## 2025-05-19 - 19.3.12 - fix(tests)
+Update test mocks to include provisionAllCertificates methods in certificate manager stubs and related objects.
+
+- Added async provisionAllCertificates functions to several test mocks (e.g. in test.port80-management.node.ts, test.route-callback-simple.ts, test.route-update-callback.node.ts, and test.simple-acme-mock.ts) to simulate ACME certificate provisioning.
+- Enhanced logging and port-add history debugging for ACME challenge port addition.
+
+## 2025-05-19 - 19.3.11 - fix(logger)
+Replace raw console logging calls with structured logger usage across certificate management, connection handling, and route processing for improved observability.
+
+- Replaced console.log, console.warn, and console.error in SmartCertManager with logger.log for more consistent logging.
+- Updated ConnectionManager and RouteConnectionHandler to log detailed connection events using a structured logger.
+- Enhanced logging statements with contextual metadata such as connection IDs, remote IPs, target information, and component identifiers.
+- Standardized log output across proxy modules to aid in debugging and monitoring.
+
+## 2025-05-19 - 19.3.10 - fix(certificate-manager, smart-proxy)
+Fix race condition in ACME certificate provisioning and refactor certificate manager initialization to defer provisioning until after port listeners are active
+
+- Removed superfluous provisionCertificatesAfterPortsReady method
+- Made provisionAllCertificates public so that SmartProxy.start() calls it after ports are listening
+- Updated SmartProxy.start() to wait for port setup (via PortManager) before triggering certificate provisioning
+- Improved ACME HTTP-01 challenge timing so that port 80 (or configured ACME port) is guaranteed to be ready
+- Updated documentation (changelog and Acme timing docs) and tests to reflect the change
+
+## 2025-05-19 - 19.3.10 - refactor(certificate-manager, smart-proxy)
+Simplify certificate provisioning code by removing unnecessary wrapper method
+
