 # Changelog
 
+## 2026-02-15 - 4.2.1 - fix(cronmanager)
+improve cron scheduling and lifecycle handling; add wake/wakeCycle to promptly recalculate scheduling when jobs are added/removed/started/stopped, fix timeout handling, and update tests and deps
+
+- CronManager: add wakeCycle (Deferred) to wake the sleeping cycle immediately when jobs change
+- CronManager: refactor runCronCycle to compute the soonest next execution (soonestMs), await timeout or wake signal, handle overdue jobs without waiting, and cancel timeouts to avoid lingering timers
+- CronJob: guard checkExecution to return when job status is 'stopped' to prevent unnecessary scheduling work
+- Stop logic: safely cancel executionTimeout only if present and ensure the cycle is woken when stopping
+- Tests: switch test imports to @git.zone/tstest/tapbundle
+- Dependencies: bump several devDependencies and dependencies (tsbuild, tsbundle, tstest, croner, smartpromise, dayjs, pretty-ms, etc.)
+- Docs/config: expand README with examples and security/reporting info; add @git.zone/cli release config to npmextra.json
+
 ## 2024-12-14 - 4.2.0 - feat(ondemand)
 Add on-demand timestamp feature

 ```bash
-npm install @push.rocks/smarttime --save
+npm install @push.rocks/smarttime
 ```
 
-This will add `@push.rocks/smarttime` to your project's dependencies.
+or with pnpm:
+
+```bash
+pnpm install @push.rocks/smarttime
+```
 
 ## Usage
 
-`@push.rocks/smarttime` provides a comprehensive toolkit for handling various aspects of time manipulation, scheduling, and comparison in a TypeScript project. The following sections will guide you through the capabilities of this package, showcasing how to use its classes and functions effectively.
+`@push.rocks/smarttime` is a comprehensive TypeScript-first toolkit for working with time. It covers everything from cron-based scheduling and extended date manipulation to high-resolution measurements, timers, intervals, and human-readable time formatting.
 
-### Handling Time Units and Calculations
+All examples below use ESM imports and TypeScript.
+
+### ⏱️ Time Units & Calculations
+
+Convert human-readable time durations into milliseconds using the `units` helpers and `getMilliSecondsFromUnits`:
 
-#### Working with Units
 ```typescript
 import { units, getMilliSecondsFromUnits } from '@push.rocks/smarttime';
 
-// Define a duration using a combination of time units
+// Individual unit conversions
-let durationInMilliseconds = getMilliSecondsFromUnits({
+const oneDay = units.days(1);       // 86400000
+const twoHours = units.hours(2);    // 7200000
+const thirtySeconds = units.seconds(30); // 30000
+
+// Combined duration — great for timeouts, TTLs, cache expiration, etc.
+const duration = getMilliSecondsFromUnits({
   years: 1,
   months: 2,
   weeks: 3,
   days: 4,
   hours: 5,
   minutes: 6,
-  seconds: 7
+  seconds: 7,
 });
 
-console.log(`Duration in milliseconds: ${durationInMilliseconds}`);
+console.log(`Duration: ${duration}ms`);
 ```
 
-In the example above, we specify a complex duration made up of various time units using the `getMilliSecondsFromUnits` function. This is quite useful for calculations where you need to define durations in a more human-readable format.
+### 🗓️ Human-Readable Time Formatting
 
-### Scheduling with CronManager
+Turn raw milliseconds into a friendly string, or get a relative "time ago" description:
 
-`@push.rocks/smarttime` includes a powerful scheduling tool called `CronManager`, which allows you to schedule tasks using cron syntax.
+```typescript
+import {
+  getMilliSecondsAsHumanReadableString,
+  getMilliSecondsAsHumanReadableAgoTime,
+} from '@push.rocks/smarttime';
+
+// "2h 30m"
+console.log(getMilliSecondsAsHumanReadableString(9_000_000));
+
+// "5 minutes ago" style output
+const fiveMinutesAgo = Date.now() - 5 * 60 * 1000;
+console.log(getMilliSecondsAsHumanReadableAgoTime(fiveMinutesAgo));
+```
+
+### 🔄 CronManager — Scheduled Task Execution
+
+The `CronManager` lets you register and run multiple cron jobs using standard 6-field cron syntax (seconds included). Powered by [croner](https://github.com/Hexagon/croner).
 
-#### Creating and Starting a CronManager
 ```typescript
 import { CronManager } from '@push.rocks/smarttime';
 
 const cronManager = new CronManager();
 
-// Adding a cron job that runs every minute
+// Run every 10 seconds
-cronManager.addCronjob('* * * * *', async () => {
+const job1 = cronManager.addCronjob('*/10 * * * * *', async (triggerTime) => {
-  console.log('This task runs every minute.');
+  console.log(`Job 1 triggered at ${new Date(triggerTime).toISOString()}`);
 });
 
-// Starting the CronManager
+// Run every full minute
+const job2 = cronManager.addCronjob('0 * * * * *', async () => {
+  console.log('Full minute tick!');
+});
+
+// Start all registered jobs
 cronManager.start();
+
+// Later: remove a specific job
+cronManager.removeCronjob(job1);
+
+// Stop all jobs
+cronManager.stop();
 ```
 
-The example demonstrates how to create a `CronManager`, add a cron job that runs every minute, and start the scheduling. You can add multiple cron jobs to a single manager, each with its own scheduling and task.
+The `CronManager` automatically calculates the shortest sleep interval between jobs and efficiently schedules wake-ups — no polling required.
 
-### Working with Extended Date Class
+### 📅 ExtendedDate — Enhanced Date Handling
 
-The `ExtendedDate` class extends the native JavaScript `Date` object, providing additional functionality for handling dates in various formats and zones.
+`ExtendedDate` extends the native JavaScript `Date` with factory methods for common date formats and useful inspection methods:
 
-#### Creating ExtendedDate Instances
 ```typescript
 import { ExtendedDate } from '@push.rocks/smarttime';
 
-// Creating a date from a European format string
+// From European format: "DD.MM.YYYY"
-const dateFromEuroString = ExtendedDate.fromEuropeanDate('31.12.2023');
+const date1 = ExtendedDate.fromEuropeanDate('25.12.2024');
-console.log(dateFromEuroString.toString());
 
-// Creating a date from a hyphed date string
+// From European date + time with timezone context
-const dateFromHyphedString = ExtendedDate.fromHyphedDate('2023-12-31');
+const date2 = ExtendedDate.fromEuropeanDateAndTime('25.12.2024', '14:30:00', 'Europe/Berlin');
-console.log(dateFromHyphedString.toString());
+
+// From hyphenated date: "YYYY-MM-DD"
+const date3 = ExtendedDate.fromHyphedDate('2024-12-25');
+
+// From milliseconds
+const date4 = ExtendedDate.fromMillis(Date.now());
+
+// From an existing Date object
+const date5 = ExtendedDate.fromDate(new Date());
+
+// Export back to various formats
+console.log(date1.exportToEuropeanDate());         // "25.12.2024"
+console.log(date1.exportToHyphedSortableDate());   // "2024-12-25"
+
+// Get structured date units
+const units = date1.exportToUnits();
+console.log(units.monthName);         // "December"
+console.log(units.dayOfTheWeekName);  // "Wednesday"
+
+// Custom formatting (via dayjs)
+console.log(date1.format('YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm'));
+
+// Boolean checks
+console.log(date4.isToday());  // true
+
+// Time comparison: has less than 1 hour passed since this date?
+console.log(date4.lessTimePassedToNow({ hours: 1 }));  // true
+console.log(date4.moreTimePassedToNow({ days: 1 }));   // false
 ```
 
-#### Checking if a Date is Today
+### ⏱️ HrtMeasurement — High-Resolution Timing
-```typescript
-import { ExtendedDate } from '@push.rocks/smarttime';
 
-const someDate = new ExtendedDate();
+Measure the duration of operations with precision:
-console.log(`Is someDate today? ${someDate.isToday()}`);
-```
-
-Using `ExtendedDate`, you can also easily check if a given date is today. This simplifies certain date comparisons that are common in web and application development.
-
-### High-Resolution Time Measurement
-For performance testing and high-resolution time tracking, `@push.rocks/smarttime` provides the `HrtMeasurement` class.
 
 ```typescript
 import { HrtMeasurement } from '@push.rocks/smarttime';
 
-const hrtMeasurement = new HrtMeasurement();
+const measurement = new HrtMeasurement();
-hrtMeasurement.start();
+measurement.start();
-// Simulate some operations...
+
-setTimeout(() => {
+// ... perform some operation ...
-  hrtMeasurement.stop();
+
-  console.log(`Operation took ${hrtMeasurement.milliSeconds} milliseconds.`);
+measurement.stop();
-}, 1000);
+console.log(`Took ${measurement.milliSeconds}ms`);
+console.log(`Took ${measurement.nanoSeconds}ns`);
+
+// Reset and reuse
+measurement.reset();
+measurement.start();
+// ...
 ```
 
-This class allows you to measure the duration of operations in your code with high precision, offering both milliseconds and nanoseconds resolutions.
+### ⏲️ Timer — Pausable Countdown
 
-### Interval and Timer functionalities
+A promise-based timer with pause, resume, and reset capabilities:
 
-`@push.rocks/smarttime` includes classes for managing intervals and timers with enhanced control, such as pause, resume, and reset capabilities.
-
-#### Using the Timer class
 ```typescript
 import { Timer } from '@push.rocks/smarttime';
 
-const timer = new Timer(5000); // A 5-second timer
+const timer = new Timer(5000); // 5-second countdown
 timer.start();
 
-timer.completed.then(() => {
+// Await completion
-  console.log('Timer completed!');
+await timer.completed;
-});
+console.log('Timer finished!');
 
-// Resetting the timer
+// Or use pause/resume
-timer.reset();
+const timer2 = new Timer(10000);
-timer.start();
+timer2.start();
+
+// Pause after 3 seconds
+setTimeout(() => timer2.pause(), 3000);
+
+// Resume later
+setTimeout(() => timer2.resume(), 6000);
+
+await timer2.completed;
+
+// Reset completely and start over
+timer2.reset();
+timer2.start();
 ```
 
-The `Timer` class allows for asynchronous waiting in a more object-oriented manner. In the example, a `Timer` is created for five seconds, started, and then reset for demonstration purposes.
+Check remaining time with `timer.timeLeft`.
 
-### Conclusion
+### 🔁 Interval — Repeating Jobs
 
-`@push.rocks/smarttime` offers an extensive toolkit for dealing with time in JavaScript and TypeScript applications. Whether you need precise timing, scheduled tasks, or extended date functionalities, this package provides a suite of tools designed to handle time in smart and efficient ways. The examples provided herein demonstrate the core functionalities, aiming to help you integrate time-related features into your projects with ease.
+Run functions at a fixed interval with start/stop control:
+
+```typescript
+import { Interval } from '@push.rocks/smarttime';
+
+const interval = new Interval(2000); // Every 2 seconds
+
+interval.addIntervalJob(() => {
+  console.log('Tick!', new Date().toISOString());
+});
+
+interval.addIntervalJob(() => {
+  console.log('Another parallel job');
+});
+
+interval.start();
+
+// Stop later
+setTimeout(() => interval.stop(), 10000);
+```
+
+### 🕰️ TimeStamp — Comparison & Tracking
+
+The `TimeStamp` class captures a moment in time and provides comparison utilities:
+
+```typescript
+import { TimeStamp } from '@push.rocks/smarttime';
+
+const stamp1 = new TimeStamp();
+// ... some time passes ...
+const stamp2 = new TimeStamp();
+
+console.log(stamp1.milliSeconds);  // Unix ms
+console.log(stamp1.epochtime);     // Unix seconds
+
+// Comparison
+console.log(stamp1.isOlderThan(stamp2));                  // true
+console.log(stamp2.isYoungerThanOtherTimeStamp(stamp1));   // true
+
+// Derived timestamps track change
+const derived = TimeStamp.fromTimeStamp(stamp1);
+console.log(`${derived.change}ms have passed since stamp1`);
+
+// From known milliseconds
+const known = TimeStamp.fromMilliSeconds(1700000000000);
+```
