## 2.1.0 (In Development)

### Toggle Side Area

- **Rebuilt Toggle Side Area to protect existing editor Areas** — PME now creates and tracks a temporary Area by splitting the configured main Area where the command runs. Existing adjacent Areas are no longer adopted, changed, or closed merely because their editor type or size matches. Run the command from that main Area or from the Area PME created for it; calls from unrelated Areas are cancelled. Existing saved commands with `Ignore Area` values still load, but those values no longer affect behavior. (Issue #1603, PR #1604)
- **Changed a tracked side Area to another editor in one Toggle** — Blender 5.1 and later switch a compatible non-file editor in place. On Blender 5.1, a switch that needs the experimental setting to move a preserved editor history may still replace its side Area. Blender 4.5/5.0 and switches away from File Browser or Asset Browser use Blender's native Area operations to replace only the PME-created companion without requiring a separate hide action. When a physical-replacement route reaches later orthogonal side Areas that prevent the target from sharing a complete edge with the main Area, PME temporarily unwinds owned survivors and replays their side, order, side-axis extent, editor type, and presentation after the requested operation. Only an ownership, geometry, active-Space, or generation failure leaves the layout unchanged. File Browser and Asset Browser remain supported as side Areas, but using either one as the main Area is cancelled before splitting because that host path can crash Blender. (Issue #1777, PR #1780, PR #1810, PR #1840)
- **Preserved orthogonal working state while switching L-shaped layouts on Blender 5.2** — In a tracked, verified L-shaped layout, switching a non-file side Area no longer closes or recreates an orthogonal Asset Browser or Text Editor, even when Experimental state preservation is enabled. PME returns the current supported editor state to the main Area when present and restores the requested supported state in the same side Area when present. This does not add state snapshots for Asset Browser or Text Editor themselves. Blender 4.5/5.0, Blender 5.1 switches that move preserved state, and switches away from File Browser or Asset Browser continue to replace Areas. (Issue #1777)
- **Kept existing Areas during tracked partial CLOSE on Blender 5.2** — In a tracked, verified L-shaped layout, PME closes only the requested target and keeps the Main Area and every tracked non-target Side Area with the same Area, active Space, Space membership, Regions, and working state. The Experimental setting does not choose this topology; it only controls whether a supported target's exact state can return to the Main Area. It does not add state snapshots for surviving Asset Browser or Text Editor Areas. Blender 4.5/5.0/5.1 partial CLOSE and physical Area replacement retain the existing unwind/replay route. This does not guarantee every direction, layout, or editor. (Issue #1777)
- **Restored Text Editor, Dope Sheet, Graph Editor, NLA Editor, Console, Spreadsheet, Video Sequence Editor, Movie Clip Editor, Image Editor / UV Editor, and Preferences working state on Blender 5.2** — With Experimental state preservation enabled, closing and reopening a supported editor restores the tested stable state for its base editor history. This includes Text and search settings; Dope Sheet / Graph / NLA modes, filters, display and supported view positions; Console history, scrollback and font size; Spreadsheet pin/display/filter settings and row filters; tested Sequencer Timeline/Preview/Combined display settings and visible view positions; the tested Clip, Graph, and Dope Sheet views in Movie Clip Editor; generated pinned Image/UV display, UV, zoom, and visible Window state; and the Preferences Display Filter and Navigation region visibility. Unmanaged Timeline, Drivers, or UV editors do not replace their saved canonical base history. Every RNA property, active modal state, draw/runtime caches, Spreadsheet tables or visible rows, Sequencer Region alignment/divider geometry or media/job/cache state, Movie Clip view-specific history or tracking/job/cache state, separate Image/UV histories, cross-mode viewport state, inactive Region proxies, `ui_mode`, render/paint/mask/job or computed-scope/cache state, the selected Preferences category, derived search results, Extensions/Add-ons work, Preferences view position or an active file selector, arbitrary existing workspaces, Main and Side Areas with the same base editor type, general Sidebar-tab memory, File Browser / Asset Browser, and Blender 4.5/5.0/5.1 are outside this added support. (Issue #1879)
- **Restored supported editor working state after closing its side Area** — Enable {guilabel}`Preserve Side Area State` in {guilabel}`Settings > General > Expert`. On Blender 4.5.x through 5.2.x, PME retains working state for supported base editor types, including Outliner, Properties, and Node Editor, during the current Blender session. Orthogonal unwind/replay itself is standard layout behavior and remains available while this setting is off. When the setting is on and every exact-state condition is admitted, PME additionally restores the same Space / Region state for supported survivors. All 19 official Windows x64 releases available on August 10, 2026 passed standard, non-orthogonal open/close/restore cycles for those three editor types. The feature is not restricted to listed build hashes; it validates the running structure for every operation. The setting is off by default. File Browser and Asset Browser, unsupported editors or structures, and history collisions continue with standard layout replay without exact working-state restoration. (Issue #1456, Issue #1777, PR #1810, PR #1840)
- **Retired separate Sidebar tab memory** — Toggle Side Area no longer reads or writes Sidebar tab names as a separate PME feature, avoiding a Blender crash path. The old setting remains readable for compatibility but no longer appears in Settings or affects behavior. Restoring a Blender-owned editor history may also return its visible panel, but this is not a general Sidebar-tab restoration guarantee. Sidebar visibility and the opened Area's width or height are still remembered during the current Blender session. (Issue #1603, Issue #1456, PR #1604, PR #1810)

## 2.0.5.5 (2026.07.23)

- **Fixed Poll conditions for referenced and embedded menus** — Context-sensitive Polls such as `return C.mode == 'SCULPT'` now use the current Blender draw context when a Dialog or another PME menu is referenced. This prevents recursive Poll errors that could leave blocked menus visible and PM Health warnings active. Layout Panels and Floating Panels now follow the same context-aware availability path. (Issue #1496, PR #1538)

(changelog-2-0-5-4)=
## 2.0.5.4 (2026.07.20)

- **Fixed a Blender 5.1+ crash when opening a Pie Menu through `panel()`.** (Issue #1440, PR #1441)

(changelog-2-0-5-3)=
## 2.0.5.3 (2026.07.19)

- **Prevented a Blender 5.1+ crash in expanded Brush Settings inside Pie dialogs** — Brush Direction remains available as a dropdown while avoiding the native crash tracked by [Blender #161637](https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/issues/161637). (Issue #1418, PR #1422)
- **Temporarily disabled in-session custom icon refresh on the 2.0.5.x line** — Refreshing the shared preview collection could invalidate icon IDs retained by PME's UI. Restart Blender after adding or changing custom icons. The refresh UI is planned to return in 2.1.0 after PME separates preview ownership for its internal icons and user custom icons. (Issue #1423, PR #1428)

(changelog-2-0-5-2)=
## 2.0.5.2 (2026.05.31)

- **Fixed Poll conditions reading stale context** — A Poll script such as `return C.mode == 'EDIT_MESH'` now reads the context the menu was invoked from, rather than a stale global Blender context. This fixes mode-gated menus that could fail to appear from the Mesh keymap or other context-sensitive invocation routes. (Issue #555)

(changelog-2-0-5-1)=
## 2.0.5.1 (2026.05.25)

- **Poll conditions now apply more consistently** — PME now checks Poll conditions not only for hotkeys, but also for HOLD / TWEAK / CHORD, script entry points such as `open_menu()` / `pme.invoke_pm()`, editor previews, Popup Dialog and regular menu drawing, and calls through Macro / Modal / Sticky / Floating Panel routes. This reduces cases where a menu that should not be available in the current Blender context could still be reached through another path. (PR #404, PR #406, PR #413)
- **Operators that cannot run safely are now cancelled** — When an operation does not satisfy Blender's context requirements, PME now cancels it safely and reduces cases where it is shown as a poll error. (PR #449)
- **Fixed Stack Key notification visibility** — Fixed an issue where the Stack Key notification label could keep appearing in situations where it was not needed. (PR #446)

## 2.0.5 (2026.05.16)

### Menu Management / Editing

- **Added a shared menu-reference foundation** — PME can now track which menus reference other menus using both names and uids. This gives PME a consistent base for jumping to linked menus, inspecting incoming references, and diagnosing broken references. (PR #336)
- **Easier navigation to linked menus** — MENU slots now expose linked-menu navigation buttons. You can jump to related menus from the Slot Editor MENU tab, PM Editor slot rows, Popup Dialog / Floating Panel editor previews, and Dialog links in Panel Groups. (PR #336)
- **Incoming references are now visible** — Menus can show a linked-reference button next to the menu name when other menus point to them. If there is one source, PME jumps directly to it; if there are multiple sources, PME shows a list to choose from. (PR #336)
- **Assisted linked-menu creation** — When a MENU slot points to a menu that does not exist yet, PME can create the linked target menu from that spot. You can choose the new menu mode and set the MENU options that apply to that mode before linking it back to the slot. (PR #336)
- **Added the Editor Link Buttons setting** — Popup Dialog and Floating Panel editor previews can now show or hide linked-menu buttons. Toggle this from {guilabel}`Settings > General > Interface` or {guilabel}`Settings > Popup Dialog`. (PR #336)
- **Added developer-facing reference audit tooling** — PME now includes an audit command for inspecting existing menu references, missing targets, missing uids, and duplicate uids. This is intended as a support and cleanup aid, and as a foundation for future PME Doctor-style diagnostics. (PR #336)
- **Easier editing while moving to linked menus** — When adding slots to a menu through the context menu or similar flows, you can now move to the referenced linked menu. MENU slots used as panels or pointing to linked menus are marked with `[PANEL]` / `[LINKED]`. Clicking one lets you choose whether to replace that slot or move to the linked menu. (PR #340)
- **Disabled and broken references are easier to spot** — When a MENU slot references a disabled PME menu (PM) or a PME menu that cannot be found, PME now shows that state in the PM Editor, Slot Editor, Popup Dialog / Floating Panel editor previews, and embedded runtime displays. Disabled targets use the normal `UNLINKED` icon, while missing or ambiguous targets use an alerted `UNLINKED` icon, keeping them distinct from slots that are simply unset. (PR #392)
- **Improved Preferences list and Tree Mode UI** — The menu list width can now be adjusted or collapsed with a modal control, and Tree Mode can show item counts for groups. Narrow keymap rows also stay less crowded by showing the key browse button only when Advanced Settings are enabled. (PR #321)
- **Reorganized menu creation presets** — Poll condition presets now make it easier to choose Editor UI Type, Object Type + Mode, mesh selection counts, and similar conditions. A CUSTOM preset for showing Blender Quick Favorites was also added. (PR #399)

### Popup Dialog / Floating Panel

- **Added collapsible panels to Popup Dialog / Floating Panel** — You can now place another Popup Dialog / Floating Panel inside a Popup Dialog or Floating Panel as a collapsible panel. Add a panel row from the Row menu, then link the menu that should be shown in the panel body. Panel headers can also contain additional buttons, and the panel can be configured to start closed with the Default Closed option. This feature uses `UILayout.panel()` from Blender 4.2 or newer. In Blender 4.1 and older, this feature cannot be used or imported. (PR #317, PR #340)
- **Improved Popup Dialog / Floating Panel row editing** — PDI move and copy actions can now insert into the start or end of another row without requiring a placeholder slot first. Context-menu insertion into DIALOG / FPANEL layouts also exposes clearer row-edge add targets. (PR #316)

### GPULayout

- **Added Floating Panel tooltips** — Floating Panel COMMAND buttons can now show PME descriptions and COMMAND slot description overrides as GPU tooltips. Tooltip lifetime, placement, wrapping, and popup / subpanel close cleanup now follow GPULayout state. (PR #312, PR #314)
- **Improved GPULayout popup pointer state** — Fixed cases where dropdown popups stayed open after selection, reopened immediately from the owner button, or left stale hover / pressed visuals behind. (PR #318)
- **Improved GPULayout Boolean property widgets** — Boolean `layout.prop()` widgets now behave closer to Blender's standard UI, including icon toggles, split labels, disabled / inactive states, and `invert_checkbox` display handling. (PR #323)
- **Improved GPULayout icon fallback and FPANEL icon selection** — PME-owned fallback icons now use hidden internal assets, and unsupported Blender built-in icons are filtered out of the FPANEL icon selector. (PR #326)
- **Stabilized FPANEL target lifecycle and placement** — FPANELs now close safely when their bound area becomes invalid, while keeping panel state across unrelated context changes such as side area toggles. Root FPANEL placement is saved relative to the target area. (PR #331)

### Stack Key

- **Reworked Remember State around practical use** — Stack Key's {guilabel}`Remember State` has been used to remember the last selected slot position. However, when grouping similar tools under one hotkey, there are cases where it feels more natural to return to the previous tool by default and advance through the candidates only when the hotkey is pressed again quickly, instead of always advancing on every press. The setting has been renamed to {guilabel}`Remember Slot`, and Stack Key can now choose behavior that better matches how it is used. (Issue #35, PR #328)
- **Added Advance On for choosing how slots advance** — With {guilabel}`Every Press`, Stack Key advances to the next slot every time it is pressed, matching the previous behavior. With {guilabel}`Quick Repeat`, pressing the Stack Key after a pause recalls the previously used slot, while pressing it again quickly advances to the next slot. Existing Stack Key settings keep the {guilabel}`Every Press` behavior, so hotkey meaning does not change after updating. (Issue #35, PR #328)
- **Added icons to Stack Key slots** — Each Stack Key slot can now have an icon, and Stack Key notifications now show both the slot name and icon when a slot is invoked. (Issue #35, PR #328)

### Export / Import

- **Stabilized JSON export menu order** — JSON exports now keep the menu array in the same order as the Preferences menu list. Tree Mode display order and referenced-menu additions no longer change the serialized order, making it easier to re-import exported JSON while preserving the intended menu list order. The developer-facing sort option still exports by name when explicitly enabled. (PR #381, PR #385)
- **Preserved referenced menus in partial exports** — When exporting only part of the menu set, such as Current Menu, Tag, or Enabled, PME now uses a clearer dependency-closure path for including related referenced menus. Cycles and multiple paths to the same menu no longer duplicate output. Missing or ambiguous references are not guessed, keeping them available for future diagnostics instead. (PR #385)
- **Clarified the export UI wording** — The export item previously shown as {guilabel}`Selected Menu` is now shown as {guilabel}`Current Menu`, matching what it actually exports today. This avoids confusion with the future multi-select export mode. The file selector also includes {guilabel}`Include Referenced Menus` for controlling whether referenced menus are included. (PR #385)
- **Improved suggested export file names** — Manual exports no longer default only to `my_pie_menus.json`. The initial file name now reflects the export source: Current Menu uses `PME_<menu name>.json`, dependency additions can add a `+N` suffix, and All / Tag / Enabled exports include dates or menu counts. When a file already exists, PME suggests a numbered filename. (PR #385)

### Safety / Internal Foundation

- **Treating disabled PME menus (PMs) as runtime stops** — `PM.enabled` now means whether that PME menu can run, not just whether its hotkey is active. A disabled PME menu no longer runs through hotkeys, references from other PME menus, script entry points such as `open_menu()` / `draw_menu()` / `pme.invoke_pm()`, or registered menu and panel routes. To remove only the hotkey, clear the Hotkey setting instead of disabling the PME menu. (PR #392)
- **Strengthened diagnostics for references between PME menus** — Reference diagnostics can now distinguish between a target that does not exist and a target PME menu that exists but is disabled and cannot run. This makes cleanup workflows and future PME Doctor-style tooling better able to report references that are present but blocked. (PR #392)
- **Improved Macro safety** — When a Macro contains an operator that cannot be found in the current Blender environment, PME now detects it before entering Blender's native Macro execution path and stops the whole Macro safely. This mitigates a known issue where old settings, disabled addons, or renamed operators could crash Blender. Detected problems are shown as warning icons on Macro Editor slot rows, and clicking the icon shows the problem details. (PR #355, PR #357, PR #358, PR #359, PR #360, PR #361, PR #362, PR #363, PR #371)
- **Improved external Macro invocation** — Added `bpy.ops.pme.invoke_macro(...)` for calling PME Macros from scripts and custom UI. Callers no longer need to pass every slot argument from inside the Macro; PME can execute the stored Macro definition instead. Existing Macro invocation compatibility is preserved, and this wrapper will be the external entry point going forward. (PR #364, PR #371)
- **Added the Notification Surface API foundation** — The GPU notification queue has been organized as Notification Surface, with placement and fade metadata. Scripts can use the `notify()` helper to publish transient notifications for the current area or cursor position. (PR #349, PR #350, PR #351)
- **Fixed add-on preference search initialization** — Add-on preference panels can now be found correctly on Blender 5.1 even when the add-on metadata cache has not been primed yet. (PR #303)
- **Fixed logger preferences initialization crash** — PME now guards logger category default initialization against reentrant RNA update callbacks that could corrupt the `CollectionProperty` on Blender 5.1.1. (PR #380)

(changelog-2-0-4)=
## 2.0.4 (2026.05.02)

- **Added FPANEL button background colors** — Floating Panel `COMMAND` buttons can now have per-button background colors. When the background color is enabled, a color swatch appears on the left side of each button in the FPANEL editor so you can adjust it directly. The selected color is reflected in the actual GPU floating panel. Toggle the background color from the Slot menu or with `Shift+OSKey+LMB`. (PR #273)
- **Added Floating Panel custom-property editing support** — Rig UI style custom properties written as `["PropName"]` can now be edited more naturally in Floating Panels, including sliders and checkboxes. Dotted property names are also supported. (PR #260)
- **Improved FPANEL Undo/Redo stability** — Fixed cases where editing custom properties could leave the panel display in a broken state or crash Blender during Undo/Redo. FPANEL now safely discards and rebuilds stale panel state across Undo/Redo boundaries. (PR #260)
- **GPULayout color picker now supports `Square (SV + H)`** — When Blender's Preferences color picker type is set to `Square (SV + H)`, color pickers inside GPU floating panels now use a square SV area with a horizontal Hue slider. The existing `Circle (HSV)` display is still available. `Circle (HSL)`, `Square (HS + V)`, and `Square (HV + S)` are planned for later and currently fall back to the `Circle (HSV)` display. (PR #285)
- **Added Recent Menus to right-click add** — Invoked PME menus are now remembered as recent add targets. When adding a Blender UI button through the PME right-click menu, you can choose the selected Preferences menu or one of the recently invoked menus. Disable this with {guilabel}`Settings > General > Recent Menu Targets`. (PR #274)
- **Expanded menu search targets** — In addition to menu names and Hotkeys, menus can now be found by Extend Target. Adjust the fields included in search from {guilabel}`Settings > General > Search Keywords`. (PR #268)
- **Improved custom UI `panel()` display** — `panel("...")` in Pie Menu custom slots now applies initial open/closed settings such as `expand=False` correctly. After the user opens or closes the panel, that state is preserved within the menu. (PR #264)
- **Improved embedded Blender panel visuals** — Fixed a case where collapsible headers could look like regular buttons when using `panel("...")` inside GPU floating panels. (PR #266)
- **Fixed Modal menu property updates** — Fixed a case where mouse movement did not update values when adjusting some external addon operators from a Modal menu. (PR #292)
- **Improved Modal Operator mouse locking** — Modal Operators with {guilabel}`Lock Mouse` enabled now keep the cursor cycling inside the launch area more reliably while editing properties with mouse movement. (PR #287)
- **Added an experimental backup option for future feature planning** — {guilabel}`Settings > Developer > Backup` now includes an option to keep writing to a single backup file. This is an experimental option for exploring future Git-managed PME settings workflows. (PR #275)

(changelog-2-0-3)=
## 2.0.3 (2026.04.20)

- **`import pme` is now opt-in** — The `import pme` alias is no longer always on. If you already use `import pme` in existing scripts or companion addons, turn on {guilabel}`Enable import pme Alias` in {guilabel}`Settings > Developer` and restart Blender once.
- **Better operator capture display names** — Blender's Python API usually does not expose the exact UI label that was drawn for a button. Because of that, captured operators often fell back to generic names like `Add Node`, making it hard to tell what kind of slot had just been added. PME2 now uses dynamically resolved item names as the slot name when the operator family provides enough information to recover a meaningful display label at capture time. (PR #199)
- **Expanded supported operator families** — Dynamic name recovery currently covers:
  - `node.add_node`
  - `object.modifier_add`
  - `object.constraint_add`
  - `pose.constraint_add`
  - `object.shaderfx_add`
  - `sequencer.strip_modifier_add`
  - `wm.tool_set_by_id`
  - `brush.asset_activate`
  This does not apply to every operator, but the supported ones now produce much more practical auto-generated names during capture. This improvement only affects naming at capture time; direct Slot editing still uses the existing generic naming behavior. (PR #199)
- **Improved GPULayout color picker display and interaction fidelity** — Fixed a case where the GPU color swatch appeared darker than Blender's standard UI, and brought the current circular HSV color picker closer to Blender in hue orientation, cursor placement, wheel fill, and the relationship between the clicked position and the value that is actually committed. The internal contracts around color space, geometry, and saturation mapping were also tightened so future picker-type expansion is less likely to recreate the same mismatch. (PR #245)
- **Improved GPULayout sliders and numeric fields** — GPULayout numeric sliders and numeric input fields now follow Blender's effective UI ranges more closely. In addition to Shape Keys, some Constraint / Particle / Modifier properties now show more natural limits and slider fill behavior based on the current settings. The handling of instance-specific UI ranges was also tightened up. (PR #211)
- **Improved floating panel and subpanel redraw updates** — Custom UI inside floating panels, as well as subpanels such as the color picker, now update their panel drawing more appropriately when the selection changes or when related properties are modified elsewhere. When the UI structure depends on the current context, the layout is rebuilt; when a subpanel is still showing the same property, it can stay open and refresh in place; and when the displayed target changes, only the contents are swapped out. (PR #213, PR #235)
- **Improved GPULayout color picker visuals and editing UI** — Fixed the mismatch between the value bar fill and outline shape, switched the RGB and HSV numeric controls to Blender-style tabs instead of showing both at once, added a Hex input field, and taught GPU text inputs to accept macOS Command-key copy / cut / paste / select-all shortcuts. (PR #246, PR #248)
- **Improved on-screen updates after menu edits** — Adding, moving, deleting, reordering, or enabling/disabling menu items is now more likely to appear without reopening, not only in Preferences but also in already open PME surfaces. (PR #238)
- **Adjusted for Blender 5.1 memory layout changes** — This addresses an issue that could make side-area behavior unstable on Blender 5.1. (PR #227)
- **Bug report workflow** — Added a dedicated [bug report page](get_support) to the documentation site and a link button in Preferences.
- **Keymap diagnostics helper** — Added a lightweight diagnostics helper in Developer settings that can inspect empty PME-related keymap items and possible active-keyconfig contamination. It is mainly intended for support-side triage. (PR #253)
- **Boot options** — PME now supports external startup options that are evaluated before addon startup. This gives startup-only settings a proper home and lays the groundwork for more flexible external configuration later. See [Boot Options](../reference/boot_options.md) and [Developer Options](../reference/developer_options.md). (PR #201, PR #204)
- **Loader manifest support** — PME now includes `loader_manifest.json`, a bundled module-load-order file used during startup. When {guilabel}`Use Bundled Loader Manifest` is on, PME starts from that file. If the option is off, or if the file cannot be used, PME falls back to dependency-based dynamic discovery. (PR #201, PR #204)
- **Improved startup diagnostics** — As part of the foundation work that supports PME's long-term development and verifiability, startup observation, candidate loader manifests, and pre-startup options have been cleaned up. When enabled, PME now creates `loader_manifest_candidate.json`, and that candidate can be explicitly promoted into `loader_manifest.json` from the Developer tab or from the command line. Normal startup never rewrites `loader_manifest.json` automatically. Because startup now uses `loader_manifest.json` and init logging is opt-in, normal startup is also slightly lighter. If startup trouble occurs, you can enable init logging for the next run or turn it on directly by editing `boot_config.json`. See [Developer Options](../reference/developer_options.md) and [Boot Options](../reference/boot_options.md). (PR #201, PR #204)

## 2.0.2.3 (2026.03.28)

- **Blender 5.1 / macOS enable crash fix** — Investigating a crash that killed Blender on addon enable revealed that the notification and update storage structure sat in a part of Blender's registration path that doesn't play well with certain environments. Rather than patching around it, the storage design was reworked from scratch. (PR #190)
- **Notification and update state externalized** — Read/dismiss state and update check results have been moved out of Blender's internal preferences tree into a JSON file managed by PME itself. This makes the data stable across Blender's startup and shutdown cycles — and because it's a plain text file living outside Blender, it can be read directly by external tools. In the longer term, diagnostic information about your menus and slots is planned to live here too, opening the door to smarter troubleshooting support. (PR #190)
- **Update source safety** — A maintenance path for switching the update source was added. When a non-official source is active, a persistent warning is displayed. Update notifications from custom sources never show external URL actions; instead, the referenced source and download URL are stated in the notification body. (PR #190)
- **Multi-line notification messages** — Notification bodies can now render multi-line text directly, making it easier to communicate warnings and supplementary information. (PR #190)
- **Missing operator fallback for older menus** — Since Blender 5.1, PME fallback could fail for slots containing older menu commands or unresolved operators, making the whole pie look broken. Missing operators now return to PME's own error slot, helping preserve the overall pie shape in older menus. (PR #198)
- **Legacy JSON import stability** — Post-import internal references and compatibility handling were tightened for some older JSON v1 menu packs, making legacy imports more stable overall.
- **Note** — This update changes how notification and update state is stored. Read, dismissed, and update cache state from previous `2.0.2.x` builds will be reset on first launch. Update check results will be re-fetched automatically. (PR #190)

- **Editor command stability fix** — Tracking down one hang report revealed the real cause wasn't a single command but the PMI text classification itself. Escalated from hotfix to redesign, tightening the problematic parsing paths at their root. (PR #178)
- **Scanner-first PMI classification** — A lightweight scanner now triages PMI text before expensive regex paths are reached, significantly reducing backtracking risk while keeping normal command entry permissive. (PR #178)

- **Property capture follow-up** — Hardened the render and capture paths for the right-click property capture introduced in 2.0.2. (PR #174)
- **Four-part hotfix versioning** — Hotfix builds like `2.0.2`, `2.0.2.1`, and `2.0.2.2` are now accurately distinguished by the notification system. (PR #175)

## 2.0.2 (2026.03.14)

- **Major right-click property capture upgrade** — Many buttons that used to show "Can't Add This Widget" can now be captured. Theme colors, addon preferences, and deeply nested properties are all supported. Custom properties (`["prop"]` format) can be captured as-is, and when capture still isn't possible, you'll see feedback explaining why. The captured paths are also improved: previously, paths often fell back to `bpy.data`-based absolute references, producing commands that only worked for one specific object or data block. PME2 now prioritizes `bpy.context`-relative paths, so your commands naturally apply to the active object, the current brush, or whatever the context calls for. (PR #155)
- **Sidearea open/close commands** — `pme.sidearea_toggle` now accepts `open_cmd` and `close_cmd` parameters, letting you bundle initialization and cleanup logic into the same toggle call. (PR #164)
- **Notification system** — A badge appears on the Settings tab when a new version of PME is available. Checks run quietly at startup; you can also refresh manually or skip a specific version. Currently limited to release notifications, but the system is designed with broader use in mind. (PR #159)
- **Tree Mode search reveal** — Even when your customizations grow and groups are deeply nested, search automatically expands collapsed groups and scrolls to the target menu. No more getting lost among hundreds of menus. (PR #166)
- **Hotkey recovery on startup** — Hotkeys that could not be registered at addon enable time are now queued and retried automatically, fixing cases where hotkeys disappeared after a Blender restart. (PR #152)
- **GPU floating panel fixes** — Embedded Blender panel lists (UV Maps, Shape Keys, etc.) render more reliably in GPU floating panels. (PR #167)
- **Blender 5.1 support** — Verified compatible with Blender 5.1.

## 2.0.1 (2026.03.04)

- **Browsable hotkey key menus** — Hotkey and chord-key fields now use hierarchical browse menus. Special keys like `F13` through `F24` and modifier combinations that previously had to be typed in manually can now be assigned with a simple menu selection. (PR #147)
- **Per-slot COMMAND Undo option** — Individual COMMAND slots can now enable Undo independently. Control the undo stack precisely based on each command's purpose. Toggle visibility in `Settings > General > Show Command Undo`. (PR #149)
- **Stronger startup hotkey recovery** — Startup hotkey registration is more resilient, with clearer reporting when some keys cannot be restored. (PR #148)

(changelog-2-0-0)=
## 2.0.0 (2026.02.20)

- **PME2 stable release** — PME2 is now available as a stable release for Blender 5.0+. This release is not about keeping an aging codebase on life support. It is a foundation rebuild, meant to move PME forward so it can continue evolving as a platform for a wide range of creative work.
- **PME1 data compatibility** — PME2's internals have changed significantly, but it supports importing PME 1.18.x JSON and backup files, as well as direct migration from data stored in `userpref.blend`. Legacy array format conversion, automatic uid generation, menu mode recovery from enum index drift, prefix standardization, Extend Panel schema migration — each migration path was built through careful validation of Blender's internal data structures. If a migration error occurs, it automatically retries on the next startup. (PR #94, PR #98, PR #134, PR #143)
- **JSON Schema v2** — The export format has been rebuilt from the ground up. In PME1, data lived in positional arrays — you needed the source code to know what index 5 meant. In v2, every field has a name, a type, and a description, all self-documented via a [public JSON Schema](https://pie-menu-editor.github.io/pme-docs/schema/pme2-2.0.json). Menus now carry uid, descriptions, poll conditions, and tags; items carry typed actions and descriptions. Each menu and button can express not just *what it does*, but *how it looks* and *when it's available*. This is a structural upgrade designed for the future. This schema is built to handle whatever you throw at it for the next decade. (PR #94, PR #98, PR #114, PR #134)
- **GPU Layout System** — A custom GPU rendering engine designed for UILayout compatibility. The same draw code runs on both Blender's standard UILayout and GPU panels without modification. Supports 2-pass layout, theme integration, reactive property binding, and operator invocation from within modal handlers. (PR #101, PR #130, PR #132, PR #135)
- **Floating Panel** — A new menu mode built on the GPU Layout System. Panels stay in your area, blend into the Blender theme, and let you place your own controls wherever you want. Position, size, and opacity persist across the session. Joins Pie Menu and Popup-Dialog as a first-class PME menu mode. (PR #101, PR #132, PR #135)
- **UID-based references** — Every menu now has a stable unique ID. Rename freely — references won't break. But that's just the start. Tracking dependencies between menus, pinpointing what's broken, surviving Blender upgrades, managing JSON in Git, safely updating shared presets — uid is the foundation for all of it. Floating Panel position persistence already runs on this system. (PR #98, PR #134)
- **Extend Panel redesign** — The system for injecting your menus into Blender's built-in panels and menus has been rebuilt. In PME1, the extend target was tied to the menu's display name, and only one menu could extend a given target. PME2 manages target, position, and order through dedicated properties. Stack multiple menus on the same panel, toggle them with poll conditions, reorder at will. No name collisions when importing shared menus. (PR #98)
- **Descriptions and tooltips** — Custom macros, complex commands — forgetting what you built is a rite of passage in PME1. In PME2, you can attach descriptions to menus and individual slots. Plain text or dynamic Python expressions. Even without writing anything, tooltips now auto-display the referenced menu name. Know your setup; communicate your intent when sharing. (PR #101, PR #114)
- **User Resources** — Scripts, icons, backups, and exports now live in their own directory, outside both the addon and Blender's config folder. `~/Documents/Pie Menu Editor/` keeps your files safe through addon updates and Blender upgrades alike. The path is configurable in Settings → Resources, and works with Syncthing, Git, or any sync tool you prefer. (PR #138)
- **Public API** — A new public API `pme` makes PME's capabilities available to external scripts and other addons. Type `import pme` in Blender's console and you're off. Search menus, invoke them, execute code — all through a stable interface. Integration with other addons, scripted automation — this is PME's door to the outside world. Currently Experimental, with more features and stability improvements planned. (PR #72, PR #99)
- **Side area stabilization** — Width memory, N-Panel tab restoration, FILE_BROWSER crash avoidance, sidebar closed-state recovery — a batch of quality-of-life fixes for the part of PME you use every day. (PR #126)
- **PM mode persistence** — Mode values are now decoupled from enum ordering, with a stable mode table and migration/backfill. More resilient when upgrading from PME1 with mode-index drift. (PR #143)
- **PROPERTY / mode settings cleanup** — Cleaned up how per-mode settings are stored, removing legacy ambiguities. Not a flashy feature, but a meaningful step toward internal consistency. (PR #94, PR #143)
- **Settings UI and logging** — Settings reorganized into icon-based tabs (GPU Layout, Developer, Resources, etc.). Logging now has per-category control in the preferences UI, with cleaner init-time log handling. (PR #129, PR #138)
- **Other improvements** — Removed the beta banner and init hooks, and suppressed dev logs by default. Also enabled the COMMAND fallback Undo wrapper by default, fixed stale labels in the PMI editor, and improved path/error handling around `execute_script`.
- **Long-term development foundation** — PME2's internals have been shaped for confident long-term maintenance. At the core is a dynamic module loader, battle-tested in a separate project before being brought to PME. It auto-discovers modules by pattern, resolves dependencies via topological sort, and handles class registration automatically. PME1 had a loader too, but it relied on a hand-maintained list with fixed ordering. Combined with the 6-layer architecture, package restructuring, and legacy dual-loader removal, adding a new file just works. (PR #71, PR #75)

## 1.19.2 (2026.01.11)

- **Final stable PME-F v1.x release** — This build was intended as the last stable release of the v1.x line before development focus moved to PME2.
- **Side area width clamp fix** — Toggling side areas no longer corrupts layouts when widths become extreme or edge-case values slip through.
- **Better main/side View3D detection** — PME now prefers the current area when resolving the main View3D, and closing from the side context works more reliably when both areas use the expected keymap setup.
