changelog=4.1.1 Cross-platform runtime + parity release: fixed a plugin load failure on QGIS LTR / Python 3.9 (macOS and Linux) caused by a backslash inside an f-string expression; the plugin no longer bundles native binaries (smaller, cleaner package); the correct iLANDc runtime is now downloaded and integrity-verified automatically on Windows, macOS, and Linux (SHA-256 pin, HTTPS host allowlist, safe extraction, smoke test, atomic install, and tamper re-check on every run). Generated projects now correctly wire the environment file, stand grid, tree initialization, and resource-unit grid so prepared per-site climate/soil data is actually used by the model; added full model.site soil C/N pool defaults; species codes are validated against the species database before init. Added step-by-step per-OS installation instructions to the README.
    4.1.0 Feature release: added a standalone interactive SQLite plot browser and plotting window for inspecting and charting exported iLand output databases; expanded landscape pre-flight validation with broader original-iLAND input compatibility and clearer diagnostics; and introduced a development quality-gates layer (pre-commit flake8/bandit hooks, CI quality gate, no-new-debt baseline, run-contract tests, and suppression/PR-review policies).
    4.0.5 Patch release: expanded native runtime auto-discovery (including ILAND_SOURCE_DIR and common source-build paths), improved runtime diagnostics for macOS/Linux, restored robust untitled-QGIS XML prompt handling, added original iLand-inspired default visualization palettes, and hardened the macOS runtime build script with Qt6 version selection, existing-runtime reuse, and architecture-safe publishing.
