 ## [Unreleased]
 
+## [0.2.15] - 2026-06-23
+
+### Added
+
+- Added a single crop-sphere selection for Gaussian splats, with radius
+  adjustment, transform controls, preview highlighting, confirmed outside
+  hiding, center-point local-coordinate sphere/transform axes, and save-time
+  removal of splats outside the sphere.
+
+### Changed
+
+- Changed camera picking on Gaussian splats to ignore areas hidden by confirmed
+  crop regions and crop sphere.
+
+## [0.2.14] - 2026-06-19
+
+### Changed
+
+- Updated `3d-tiles-rendererjs-3dgs-plugin` from `0.1.11` to `0.1.14`.
+- Updated `3d-tiles-renderer` from `0.4.27` to `0.4.28`.
+
+### Added
+
+- Added crop save support for SPZ Gaussian splats with `EXT_splat_opacity` so the opacity accessor data is cropped with the SPZ payload.

 ### Crop Regions
 
-`Crop Regions` appears when the loaded tileset contains 3D Gaussian Splat content. It lets you draw one or more screen-space exclude rectangles, preview them in the viewer, then apply the crop when you click `Save`.

+For screen regions:
 
 1. Click `Draw Region` and drag a rectangle over the splats to remove.
 2. Before moving the camera, drag pending corner points or side handles if the screen region needs adjustment; the pending shape must stay a convex four-sided screen quadrilateral.

 Crop saving rewrites supported local `.gltf` / `.glb` Gaussian Splat resources that use `KHR_gaussian_splatting_compression_spz_2`. Fully deleted splat primitives are removed from their glTF, and empty tile content can be pruned from the tileset JSON. Remote content and unsupported Gaussian Splat encodings are rejected instead of being modified.
