 # Changelog
 
+## 2025-11-30 - 5.0.0 - BREAKING CHANGE(@push.rocks/smartwatch)
+Rename package and update branding/docs: switch from @push.rocks/smartchok to @push.rocks/smartwatch, update repository/homepage/bugs URLs and author, and refresh README examples and install instructions.
+
+- Package name changed from @push.rocks/smartchok to @push.rocks/smartwatch in package.json
+- Repository, homepage and issue URLs updated to point to the new smartwatch repository
+- Author changed to Task Venture Capital GmbH in package metadata
+- README updated: install commands, import examples and references now use @push.rocks/smartwatch
+- Documentation text and branding updated throughout README (project name, internal references)
+
+## 2025-11-30 - 4.0.1 - fix(readme)
+Update README: refine description and clarify trademark/legal information
+
+- Refined project description and tagline for clarity and brevity (adds lightweight wording and an emoji).
+- Updated Trademark section to explicitly mention third-party trademarks, add guidance about usage and approval, and clarify that trademarks are not covered by the MIT license.
+- Minor legal/company wording and formatting fixes (e.g. 'District Court' capitalization and contact sentence tweaks).
+- General README wording and formatting improvements for clearer instructions and feature descriptions.
+
+## 2025-11-30 - 4.0.0 - BREAKING CHANGE(watchers)
+Replace chokidar with native platform watchers and add cross-runtime support (Node.js, Deno, Bun); introduce write stabilization and internal glob matching
+
+- Replaced chokidar-based implementation with native file watching APIs (Node.js fs.watch, Deno.watchFs).
+- Added platform-specific watchers: NodeWatcher and DenoWatcher (Bun uses Node compatibility).
+- Implemented polling-based write stabilization (awaitWriteFinish replacement) to avoid duplicate events during writes.
+- Keep glob pattern support by matching events internally using picomatch; base-path extraction used to limit watch scope.
+- API/runtime requirement increased: Node.js >= 20.0.0 is required for native recursive fs.watch.
+- Package/documentation name and examples updated to @push.rocks/smartchok and export the Smartwatch class.
+
 ## 2025-11-30 - 3.0.0 - BREAKING CHANGE(smartwatch)
 Introduce Smartwatch: cross-runtime native file watching for Node.js, Deno and Bun; rename smartchok to smartwatch and bump major version to 2.0.0

 ## How It Works
 
-Since chokidar 4.x+ no longer supports glob patterns natively, smartwatch handles glob pattern matching internally using [picomatch](https://github.com/micromatch/picomatch). This means you get the familiar glob syntax while benefiting from chokidar's efficient file watching capabilities.
+smartwatch uses native file watching APIs for each runtime:
 
-When you provide glob patterns:
+| Runtime         | API Used                         |
-1. **Base path extraction** - smartwatch extracts the static base path from each pattern
+|-----------------|----------------------------------|
-2. **Efficient watching** - chokidar watches the base directories
+| **Node.js 20+** | `fs.watch({ recursive: true })`  |
-3. **Pattern filtering** - Events are filtered through picomatch matchers before being emitted
+| **Deno**        | `Deno.watchFs()`                 |
+| **Bun**         | Node.js compatibility layer      |
+
+### Under the Hood
+
+Native file watching APIs don't support glob patterns directly, so smartwatch handles pattern matching internally:
+
+1. **Base path extraction** — Extracts the static portion from each glob pattern (e.g., `./src/` from `./src/**/*.ts`)
+2. **Efficient watching** — Native watchers monitor only the base directories
+3. **Pattern filtering** — Events are filtered through [picomatch](https://github.com/micromatch/picomatch) matchers before emission
+4. **Event deduplication** — Built-in throttling prevents duplicate events from rapid file operations
+
+### Write Stabilization
+
+smartwatch includes built-in write stabilization (similar to chokidar's `awaitWriteFinish`). When a file is being written, events are held until the file size stabilizes, preventing multiple events for a single write operation.
+
+Default settings:
+- **Stability threshold**: 300ms
+- **Poll interval**: 100ms
+
+## Requirements
+
+| Runtime         | Version                                |
+|-----------------|----------------------------------------|
+| **Node.js**     | 20+ (required for native recursive watching) |
+| **Deno**        | Any version with `Deno.watchFs()` support |
+| **Bun**         | Uses Node.js compatibility             |
