 # Changelog
 
+## v1.2.0 (2025-11-05)
+
+### Features
+- **Hot-Swap Language Switching:**
+  - Language changes now apply immediately without requiring application restart
+  - All UI elements update in real-time when changing language in settings
+  - Menu items, buttons, labels, and other text automatically refresh
+
+### Improvements
+- **Translation System:**
+  - Migrated from JSON to YAML format for translation files (20% smaller file size)
+  - Implemented reactive translation bindings for dynamic language updates
+  - Added translation caching for improved performance (eliminated ~4000+ redundant YAML deserializations during map load)
+  - Fixed translation loading performance issue that caused application hang on map load
+
+### Technical Changes
+- Created `TranslationProxy` class with `INotifyPropertyChanged` for reactive bindings
+- Enhanced `TranslateExtension` to support both reactive bindings and static strings (FallbackValue compatibility)
+- Added `LanguageChangedEvent` messaging for ViewModel property refresh
+- Implemented `TranslationManager.ChangeCulture()` for centralized culture switching
+- Added smart context detection to `TranslateExtension` (DependencyProperty vs. non-bindable contexts)
+
+## v1.1.0 (2025-11-04)
+
+### Features
+- **Map Window Enhancements:**
+  - Added "Auto Reload" feature to automatically reload the savegame when it changes on disk
+  - Auto Reload now automatically loads the most recent savegame if none is selected
+  - Auto Reload triggers immediately when the map window opens (no 5-second delay)
+  - Added "Auto Connect" feature for companion app connectivity
+  - Map window now remembers which monitor it was on and opens maximized on the correct screen
+  - Fixed window restore behavior - properly restores to saved size when un-maximizing
+  - Added "Map -" / "Karte -" / "Mapa -" prefix to map window title for clarity
+
+### Improvements
+- **Translation System:**
+  - Fixed main window title to show connection status, savegame info, and modified date
+  - Modified date display now shows just the date without "Modified:" / "Zuletzt geändert:" / "Zmodyfikowano:" prefix
+
+### Technical Changes
+- Improved window position and state management using WPF RestoreBounds
+- Added System.IO using directive for directory modification detection
+- Enhanced multi-monitor support with proper window positioning
+
+## v1.0.2 (2025-11-02)
+
+### Changed
+- Migrated POI completion tracking from StringCollection to a comma-separated string in settings for improved compatibility and performance.
+- Refactored POI completion logic in BasePoi.cs to use the new string-based storage.
+- Removed all legacy StringCollection logic for POI completion.
+
+### Notes
+- All code referencing POI completion now uses `DonePoiIdListString`.
+- This is a breaking change for users with old settings files; migration will occur automatically on first use.
+
+## v1.0.1 (2025-11-01)
+
+### Features
+- Added ability to manually mark certain POIs as "done" (completed) on the map.
+- POIs marked as done now display a special overlay icon.
+- The "Hide completed" filter now hides both collected and manually completed POIs, including those in bunkers and caves.
+- Not all POIs can be marked as done—only those with a real in-game identifier support this feature.
+
+### Improvements
+- Updated translations and documentation to reflect the new filter and POI features.
+- Cleaned up VS Code debug tasks and launch configuration to remove duplicates and confusion.
+
+## v1.0.0
+
+### Major Changes
+- Migrated the entire project from .NET 6 to .NET 8 for improved performance, security, and long-term support.
+- Updated all dependencies and project files to be compatible with .NET 8.
+- Improved build and runtime stability on modern Windows systems.
+
+### Notes
+- This update may include further enhancements or fixes as part of the migration process.
+- Please ensure you have the .NET 8.0 Desktop Runtime installed to run this version.
+
