+# Changelog
+
+All notable changes to Stegasoo will be documented in this file.
+
+The format is based on [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.0.0/),
+and this project adheres to [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.html).
+
+## [2.2.0] - 2025-12-30
+
+### Added
+
+- **Compression Module** (`stegasoo.compression`)
+  - Zlib compression for payloads (enabled by default)
+  - Optional LZ4 support for faster compression (`pip install lz4`)
+  - Automatic algorithm detection on decompression
+  - `--compress/--no-compress` CLI flags
+  - `--algorithm` flag to choose compression method
+  - `estimate_compressed_size()` for capacity planning
+
+- **Batch Processing** (`stegasoo.batch`)
+  - `stegasoo batch encode` - encode message into multiple images
+  - `stegasoo batch decode` - decode from multiple images
+  - `stegasoo batch check` - check capacity of multiple images
+  - Parallel processing with configurable workers (`-j/--jobs`)
+  - Recursive directory scanning (`-r/--recursive`)
+  - Progress callbacks for UI integration
+  - JSON output for all batch operations
+
+- **CLI Improvements**
+  - `--json` global flag for machine-readable output
+  - `--dry-run` flag for encode (preview capacity usage)
+  - `stegasoo info` command to show version and features
+  - JSON output for `generate` command
+
+- **New Constants**
+  - `MIN_COMPRESS_SIZE` - minimum size to attempt compression
+  - `ZLIB_COMPRESSION_LEVEL` - compression level setting
+  - `BATCH_DEFAULT_WORKERS` - default parallel workers
+  - `BATCH_MAX_WORKERS` - maximum parallel workers
+
+### Changed
+
+- Version bumped to 2.2.0
+- Payloads are now compressed by default before encryption
+- Updated `pyproject.toml` with `compression` optional dependency group
+
+### Dependencies
+
+- Added optional dependency: `lz4>=4.0.0` (in `[compression]` extra)
+
+## [2.1.4] - 2025-12-29
+
+### Changed
+
+- Centralized all configuration values to `constants.py`
+- Added version injection to Flask templates via context processor
+- Synchronized version across `constants.py` and `pyproject.toml`
+
+## [2.1.3] - 2025-12-28
+
+### Added
+
+- Initial public release
+- Core steganography encoding/decoding
+- Hybrid authentication (passphrase + PIN)
+- RSA key support
+- QR code credential sharing
+- CLI interface
+- REST API (FastAPI)
+- Web frontend (Flask)
+- File payload embedding
+- Temporary file auto-expiry

+Stegasoo - Secure Steganography Library

+    
+    # Generate credentials
+    creds = generate_credentials(use_pin=True, use_rsa=False)
