 # Jackify Changelog
 
+## v0.1.6 - Advanced Proton Management & Lorerim Support
+**Release Date:** October 16, 2025
+
+### Major New Features
+- **Dual Proton Configuration**: Separate Install Proton and Game Proton version selection in Settings
+  - **Install Proton**: Optimized for modlist installation and texture processing (Experimental/GE-Proton 10+ recommended for performance)
+  - **Game Proton**: For game shortcuts (supports any Proton 9+ version)
+  - Independent configuration allows users to optimize for both installation speed and game compatibility
+
+- **Lorerim Proton Override**: Automatic Proton 9 selection for Lorerim modlist installations
+  - Priority system: GE-Proton9-27 → Other GE-Proton 9 versions → Valve Proton 9 → user settings fallback
+  - User notification when override is applied
+  - Case-insensitive detection for Lorerim modlists
+
+- **Configurable Component Installation Method**: User-selectable toggle in Settings
+  - **Optimized Mode** (default): Protontricks for dotnet40 (reliable), winetricks for other components (fast)
+  - **Legacy Mode**: Protontricks for all components (slower but maximum compatibility)
+
+### Engine & Technical Improvements
+- **jackify-engine v0.3.17**: Latest engine version with performance improvements
+- **Windows 10 Prefix Timing**: Improved timing to match legacy script behavior
+- **Self-Updater Enhancement**: Fixed auto-restart checkbox functionality
+- **ProtontricksHandler**: Updated constructor calls across codebase for consistency
+
+---
+
+## v0.1.5.3 - Critical Bug Fixes
+**Release Date:** October 2, 2025
+
+### Critical Bug Fixes
+- **Fixed Multi-User Steam Detection**: Properly reads loginusers.vdf and converts SteamID64 to SteamID3 for accurate user identification
+- **Fixed dotnet40 Installation Failures**: Hybrid approach uses protontricks for dotnet40 (reliable), winetricks for other components (fast)
+- **Fixed dotnet8 Installation**: Now properly handled by winetricks instead of unimplemented pass statement
+- **Fixed D: Drive Detection**: SD card detection now only applies to Steam Deck systems, not regular Linux systems
+- **Fixed SD Card Mount Patterns**: Replaced hardcoded mmcblk0p1 references with dynamic path detection
+- **Fixed Debug Restart UX**: Replaced PyInstaller detection with AppImage detection for proper restart behavior
+
+---
+
+## v0.1.5.2 - Proton Configuration & Engine Updates
+**Release Date:** September 30, 2025
+
+### Critical Bug Fixes
+- **Fixed Proton Version Selection**: Wine component installation now properly honors user-selected Proton version from Settings dialog
+  - Previously, changing from GE-Proton to Proton Experimental in settings would still use the old version for component installation
+  - Fixed ConfigHandler to reload fresh configuration from disk instead of using stale cache
+  - Updated all Proton path retrieval across codebase to use fresh-reading methods
+
+### Engine Updates
+- **jackify-engine v0.3.16**: Updated to latest engine version with important reliability improvements
+  - **Sanity Check Fallback**: Added Proton 7z.exe fallback for case sensitivity extraction failures
+  - **Enhanced Error Messages**: Improved texconv/texdiag error messages to include original texture file names and conversion parameters
+
+### Technical Improvements
+- Enhanced configuration system reliability for multi-instance scenarios
+- Improved error diagnostics for texture processing operations
+- Fix Qt platform plugin discovery in AppImage distribution for improved compatibility
+
+---
+
+## v0.1.5.1 - Bug Fixes
+**Release Date:** September 28, 2025
+
+### Bug Fixes
+- Fixed Steam user detection in multi-user environments
+- Fixed controls not re-enabling after workflow errors
+- Fixed screen state persistence between workflows
+
+---
+
+## v0.1.5 - Winetricks Integration & Enhanced Compatibility
+**Release Date:** September 26, 2025
+
+### Major Improvements
+- **Winetricks Integration**: Replaced protontricks with bundled winetricks for faster, more reliable wine component installation
+- **Enhanced SD Card Detection**: Dynamic detection of SD card mount points supports both `/run/media/mmcblk0p1` and `/run/media/deck/UUID` patterns
+- **Smart Proton Detection**: Comprehensive GE-Proton support with detection in both steamapps/common and compatibilitytools.d directories
+- **Steam Deck SD Card Support**: Fixed path handling for SD card installations on Steam Deck
+
+### User Experience
+- **No Focus Stealing**: Wine component installation runs in background without disrupting user workflow
+- **Popup Suppression**: Eliminated wine GUI popups while maintaining functionality
+- **GUI Navigation**: Fixed navigation issues after Tuxborn workflow removal
+
+### Bug Fixes
+- **CLI Configure Existing**: Fixed AppID detection with signed-to-unsigned conversion, removing protontricks dependency
+- **GE-Proton Validation**: Fixed validation to support both Valve Proton and GE-Proton directory structures
+- **Resolution Override**: Eliminated hardcoded 2560x1600 fallbacks that overrode user Steam Deck settings
+- **VDF Case-Sensitivity**: Added case-insensitive parsing for Steam shortcuts fields
+- **Cabextract Bundling**: Bundled cabextract binary to resolve winetricks dependency issues
+- **ModOrganizer.ini Path Format**: Fixed missing backslash in gamePath format for proper Windows path structure
+- **SD Card Binary Paths**: Corrected binary paths to use D: drive mapping instead of raw Linux paths for SD card installs
+- **Proton Fallback Logic**: Enhanced fallback when user-selected Proton version is missing or invalid
+
+#Y- **Settings Persistence**: Improved configuration saving with verification and logging
+- **System Wine Elimination**: Comprehensive audit ensures Jackify never uses system wine installations
+- **Winetricks Reliability**: Fixed vcrun2022 installation failures and wine app crashes
+- **Enderal Registry Injection**: Switched from launch options to registry injection approach
+- **Proton Path Detection**: Uses actual Steam libraries from libraryfolders.vdf instead of hardcoded paths
+
+### Technical Improvements
+- **Self-contained Cache**: Relocated winetricks cache to jackify_data_dir for better isolation
+
