Format: [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.1.0/) · versioning: [SemVer](https://semver.org/).

## [0.2.0] - 2026-07-17

### Added
- Added **Choose for Me · Current Extent**, which assigns a different spatial layer to every active panel. Layers intersecting the current QGIS canvas extent are prioritized; remaining project layers are used only when needed to fill the selected grid.
- Added a self-contained HTML dashboard renderer with synchronized drag, wheel zoom, reset controls, coordinates, and laser tracking.
- Added pure-Python HTML builder tests and expanded the real-QGIS E2E harness to cover automatic layer assignment and four-panel HTML export.

### Changed
- Renamed the ambiguous **Focus Layer** mode to **Compare One Layer** and added persistent workflow guidance explaining that each panel can display a different isolated layer.
- Reorganized the crowded workspace toolbar into setup and navigation rows, and renamed **Print Layout…** to **Export / Print…**.
- HTML export now embeds exact QGIS panel renders, preserving vector symbology, labels, raster layers, shared backgrounds, and map themes without a network connection.
- Layer selectors now store stable QGIS layer IDs, so projects containing duplicate layer names are handled correctly.

### Fixed
- Fixed synchronized-main-map print items not receiving their panel layers because the exporter checked the obsolete `canvas` mode instead of `sync`.
- Made export format selection authoritative, validated output folders, and used atomic writes so incomplete HTML files are never reported as successful.

## [0.1.5] - 2026-07-10

### Changed
- Remove the top-level "&02Multimap" QGIS menu registration; the plugin now only adds its launch icon to the standard toolbar, so it no longer shows up as its own menu tab next to Help.

### Added
- Remember the last export folder used by the print/HTML layout exporter between QGIS sessions.

## [0.1.4] - 2026-07-10

### Added
- Added a **Fit All Panels** action that zooms every comparison canvas to the full extent of its visible layers, with optional main-canvas alignment.
- Replaced opaque white icon padding with a transparent background for clean display on QGIS themes.

## [0.1.3] - 2026-06-29

### Changed
- **Elite Icon Asset**: Replaced the toolbar and plugin icon with a clean, high-contrast, minimalist vector layout, ensuring high visibility and elite look on both light and dark QGIS backgrounds.

## [0.1.2] - 2026-06-29

### Fixed
- **QGIS Hub Security Scans**: Fully stripped base64 Subresource Integrity (SRI) hashes from CDN JavaScript and CSS Leaflet link elements inside the HTML export template.
- **Code Quality**: Fixed double empty blank lines in `dialog.py` (`E303`).

## [0.1.1] - 2026-06-29

### Fixed
- **QGIS Hub Security Scans**: Removed base64 Subresource Integrity (SRI) hashes from CDN JavaScript and CSS Leaflet link elements in print layouts exporter to resolve secrets scanner triggers.
- **Repository Cleanups**: Deleted empty hidden placeholder files (`icons/.gitkeep`) flagged by the Hub's hidden-file scanner.
- **Code Quality Formatting**: Removed unused PyQt/QGIS imports and formatted Python files to meet Flake8 standard checks.

## [0.1.0] - 2026-06-29

### Added
- **Initial Release** of **02Multimap: Sync-up Map Layers** workspace supporting QGIS 3.40+ LTR and QGIS 4.x.
- **Coordinated Grid Viewports**: Snap and sync maps side-by-side (2, 3, 4, 6, or 8 panels).
- **Adjustable Panel Resizing**: Integrates horizontal and vertical split dividers (`QSplitter`) with styled handles for smooth viewport resizing.
- **Bi-directional Navigation Syncing**: Zoom and pan maps simultaneously across all viewports (including synchronization with QGIS main canvas).
- **Manual Alignment Controls**: Dedicated *Match Scale* (aligns zoom levels while keeping neighborhood centers) and *Match Extent* buttons.
- **Coordinated Laser Pointer**: Real-time cursor coordinates and custom crosshair trackers visible across all active panels.
- **Multi-Render Display Modes**: Canvases can sync the main map, follow designated project Map Themes, or lock unique focus layers on top of a global base layer.
- **Premium Light Design System**: Fresh `02viz`-inspired light UI system with slate backgrounds, teal accents, and card container borders.
- **Print Layout Exporter**: Customizable print sheet outputs with 5 North Arrow styles, 5 Scalebar styles, and vector layouts.
- **Multi-Format Print Exports**: Export maps to high-resolution PNG, JPEG, SVG, or PDF files.
- **Interactive HTML Dashboard Exporter**: Exports the entire comparative workspace as a fully functional, synchronized Leaflet.js HTML page with embedded GeoJSON vector layers and laser cursors.
