+### Output Formats
+
+**🎨 New in v0.2.0+**: The gem now supports different output formats and allows you to configure separate formats for console output and file logging.
+
+#### Available Formats
+
+1. **`:table`** - Clean tabular format (default)
+2. **`:csv`** - CSV format with dynamic headers
+3. **`:json`** - JSON format with different behaviors for print vs log
+
+#### Format Configuration
+
+```ruby
+RailsActionTracker::Tracker.configure(
+  print_format: :table,      # Format for console/Rails log output
+  log_format: :json,         # Format for log file output (can be different!)
+  
+  print_to_rails_log: true,  # Enable console output
+  write_to_file: true,       # Enable file logging
+  log_file_path: Rails.root.join('log', 'action_tracker.json')
+)
+```
+
+#### Format Examples

++-------------------+-------------------+-------------------+
+```
+
+**CSV Print Format (:csv for console)**
+```
+Action,users,posts,user_sessions,Redis
+UsersController#show,R,R,W,Y
+```
+
+**CSV Log Format (:csv for file - accumulative)**
+```csv
+Action,Elasticsearch,Redis,Sidekiq,posts,profiles,sessions,users
+UsersController#show,Y,Y,-,R,R,W,RW
+PostsController#create,-,-,Y,RW,-,-,R
+```
+
+**JSON Print Format (:json for console)**
+```
+UsersController#show: {
+  "read": ["users", "posts"],
+  "write": ["user_sessions", "audit_logs"],
+  "services": ["Redis", "Sidekiq"]
+}
+```
+
+**JSON Log Format (:json for file - accumulative)**
+```json
+{
+  "UsersController#show": {
+    "read": ["users", "posts"],
+    "write": ["user_sessions"],
+    "services": ["Redis"]

+    "read": ["users", "posts"],
+    "write": ["users", "audit_logs"],
+    "services": ["Redis", "Sidekiq"]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+#### Format Behavior Differences
+
+Both JSON and CSV formats behave differently for print vs log:
+
+**JSON Format:**
+- **JSON Print** (console): Shows only current action data in clean format
+- **JSON Log** (file): Accumulates all actions in a persistent structure, merging new data when the same action is visited again
+
+**CSV Format:**
+- **CSV Print** (console): Shows only current action data with compact headers
+- **CSV Log** (file): Accumulates all actions in a single CSV file with dynamic headers that expand as new tables/services are encountered. When the same action is visited again, access patterns are merged intelligently (e.g., R + W = RW)
+
+**Table Format:**
+- **Table Print** (console): Shows current action data in formatted table
+- **Table Log** (file): Each action logged separately in table format (no accumulation)

+# Rails Action Tracker - Release Notes
+
+## Version 0.2.0 - Major Format Enhancement Release
+
+**Release Date:** September 3, 2025
+
+### 🚀 Major New Features
+
+#### Separate Print and Log Format Support
+- **Independent Format Control**: Configure different output formats for console display (`print_format`) and file logging (`log_format`)
+- **Mix & Match Flexibility**: Use table format for console readability while saving JSON/CSV for analysis
+- **Backward Compatible**: Existing `output_format` configuration continues to work seamlessly
+
+#### JSON Accumulation with Intelligent Merging
+- **Persistent JSON Logs**: JSON format now accumulates all actions in a single valid JSON file
+- **Smart Data Merging**: When the same action is visited multiple times, new tables/services are added to existing data
+- **Thread-Safe Operations**: File locking prevents corruption during concurrent writes
+- **Separate Behaviors**: 
+  - JSON Print: Shows only current action data in clean format
+  - JSON Log: Accumulates comprehensive historical data across requests
+
+#### CSV Accumulation with Dynamic Headers
+- **Intelligent CSV Accumulation**: CSV format accumulates all actions in a single file with expanding headers
+- **Dynamic Schema Evolution**: Headers automatically expand as new tables/services are discovered
+- **Smart Access Pattern Merging**: Access patterns merge intelligently (R + W = RW) when same action visited again
+- **Separate Behaviors**:
+  - CSV Print: Shows only current action data with compact headers
+  - CSV Log: Comprehensive accumulated data perfect for spreadsheet analysis
+
+### 🎨 Format Examples
+
+#### JSON Format Behaviors
+**Print Output (Console):**
+```
+UsersController#show: {
+  "read": ["users", "posts"],
+  "write": ["sessions"],
+  "services": ["Redis"]
+}
+```
+
+**Log Output (Accumulated File):**
+```json
+{
+  "UsersController#show": {
+    "read": ["users", "posts", "profiles"],
+    "write": ["sessions", "users"],
+    "services": ["Redis", "Elasticsearch"]
+  },
+  "PostsController#create": {
+    "read": ["posts", "users"],
+    "write": ["posts"],
+    "services": ["Sidekiq"]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+#### CSV Format Behaviors
+**Print Output (Console):**
+```csv
+Action,users,posts,sessions,Redis
+UsersController#show,R,R,W,Y
+```
+
+**Log Output (Accumulated File):**
+```csv
+Action,Elasticsearch,Redis,Sidekiq,posts,profiles,sessions,users

+RailsActionTracker::Tracker.configure(
+  print_format: :table,    # Format for console/Rails log: :table, :csv, :json
+  log_format: :json,       # Format for log file: :table, :csv, :json
+  print_to_rails_log: true,
+  write_to_file: true,
+  log_file_path: Rails.root.join('log', 'action_tracker.json')
+)
+```
+
+#### Popular Configuration Patterns
+
+**Development & Debugging:**
+```ruby
+print_format: :table,     # Easy to read during development
+log_format: :json         # Detailed logs for debugging
+```
+
+**Performance Analysis:**
+```ruby
+print_format: :table,     # Console stays readable
+log_format: :csv          # Perfect for Excel/Google Sheets
+```
+
+**API Documentation Generation:**
+```ruby
+print_format: :json,      # Immediate JSON feedback
+log_format: :json         # Accumulated endpoint data
+```
+
+### 🔧 Technical Improvements
+
+#### Enhanced File Handling
+- **Automatic Directory Creation**: Log directories are created automatically if they don't exist
+- **Malformed File Recovery**: Gracefully handles corrupted JSON/CSV files by starting fresh
+- **Atomic File Operations**: All file writes are atomic to prevent partial data corruption
+- **Memory Efficient**: Large files are processed efficiently without loading entire contents into memory
+
+#### Logger Optimization
+- **Format-Specific Logger Setup**: Only creates custom loggers for formats that need them
+- **Reduced File I/O**: JSON and CSV formats write directly to files, avoiding logger overhead
+- **No Logger Interference**: Prevents logger headers from corrupting structured data files
+
+### 📊 Use Cases & Benefits
+
+#### Data Analysis
+- **Spreadsheet Ready**: CSV accumulation creates files perfect for Excel/Google Sheets analysis
+- **Pivot Table Friendly**: Dynamic headers and consistent data structure ideal for pivot tables
+- **Historical Trends**: Track how application data access patterns evolve over time
+
+#### Performance Monitoring
+- **Access Pattern Analysis**: Identify which actions access the most tables/services
+- **Service Usage Tracking**: Monitor service adoption and usage patterns across actions
+- **Data Growth Tracking**: Watch as application complexity grows through expanding CSV headers
+
+#### API Documentation
+- **Automatic Endpoint Discovery**: JSON accumulation reveals all API endpoints and their data dependencies
+- **Real Usage Patterns**: See actual data access patterns instead of theoretical documentation
+- **Integration Testing**: Verify that endpoints access expected tables and services
+
+### 🧪 Quality Assurance
+
+#### Comprehensive Testing
+- **73 Test Cases**: All features covered with comprehensive test suite
+- **403 Assertions**: Thorough validation of all functionality
+- **File Operation Testing**: Extensive testing of concurrent file access and merging logic
+- **Format Validation**: All output formats validated for correctness and consistency
+
+#### Code Quality
+- **RuboCop Compliant**: All code meets Ruby style guidelines
+- **Thread Safety**: All operations are thread-safe for production use
+- **Error Handling**: Graceful degradation when file operations fail
+- **Memory Efficient**: Optimized for minimal memory usage even with large data sets
+
+### 📖 Documentation Updates
+
+#### Comprehensive Examples
+- **11 Configuration Examples**: From basic setups to advanced use cases
+- **Format Comparison Guide**: Clear explanations of when to use each format
+- **Migration Guide**: Smooth upgrade path from v1.x configurations

+
+### 🔄 Backward Compatibility
+
+#### Seamless Upgrades
+- **No Breaking Changes**: All v1.x configurations continue to work
+- **Automatic Migration**: `output_format` automatically sets both `print_format` and `log_format`
+- **Deprecation Warnings**: Clear guidance on migrating to new configuration options
