Changelog

This page rewrites the application history as product release notes. It focuses on user impact rather than commit, CI, or packaging details.

0.40.0 - 2026-05-24 - Full workflow, archives, and synchronization

• Product workflows are consolidated around wizards, the project cockpit, and operations centers.
• Archives gain broader tracking: verifiable packages, checksums, signatures, restore, inventory, and remote backups.
• Imports, EXIF indexing, and resumable sessions are integrated into a more robust photography project flow.
• Desktop synchronization, offline mode, and diagnostics make local work more reliable when the API or remote storage changes.
• User documentation is refreshed with the new product screenshots: workspace, projects, settings, operations centers, and interface states.

0.39.3 - 2026-05-24 - Cross-volume imports and backend diagnostics

• Move imports now work across macOS volumes: Obscura Flow copies files when the native move is not possible, verifies the destination, then cleans up the source only for move imports.
• Import Center now shows a report with skipped system files, possible checksum duplicates, and folders with leading or trailing spaces in their names.
• Import and archive events are logged more completely for support, audit, and operational tracking.
