+
+### Breaking changes when moving from version 3.\*.\* to 4.\*.\* (latest)
+
+<hr/>
+
+### ACAP API Class Constructors Updated
+
+All ACAP API classes now **require a client instance to be passed into their constructors** instead of options object.
+
+-   This change improves flexibility by allowing you to use either the Node or Web client, depending on your environment.
+
+Example (before → now):
+
+```typescript
+// Before
+const coApi = new CamOverlayAPI({
+    ip?: string;
+    port?: number;
+    user?: string;
+    pass?: string;
+    tls?: boolean;
+    tlsInsecure?: boolean;
+    keepAlive?: boolean
+});
+
+// Now
+import { DefaultClient } from 'camstreamerlib/web';
+import { CamOverlayAPI } from 'camstreamerlib';
+
+const coApi = new CamOverlayAPI(
+    new DefaultClient({
+        tls: false,
+        tlsInsecure: false,
+        ip: '127.0.0.1',
+        port: 80,
+        user: '',
+        pass: '',
+    })
+);
+```
+
+### Imports Simplified
+
+Importing from the camstreamerlib is now much easier -> all exports are now re-exported from the root index.js.
+You no longer need to import from subpaths.
+
+Example:
+
+```typescript
+// Before
+import { CamScripterAPI } from 'camstreamerlib/CamScripterAPI';
+import { Painter } from 'camstreamerlib/CamOverlayPainter/Painter';
+import { DefaultAgent } from 'camstreamerlib/DefaultAgent';
+
+// Now
+import { CamScripterAPI } from 'camstreamerlib';
+import { Painter } from 'camstreamerlib/node';
+import { DefaultClient } from 'camstreamerlib/web';
+```
+
+> Note: To ensure compatibility, set the module resolution in your projects tsconfig.json to `"moduleResolution": "bundler"`.
+
+### Class and Method Refactored
+
+-   **CameraVapix API** has been renamed to [**VapixAPI**](doc/VapixAPI.md).
+-   **DefaultAgent** has been refactored into two separate classes - one for node, one for web as [**DefaultClient**](doc/Client.md)
+-   Several method names and parameter names across the library have been updated for consistency and clarity.
+
+> Please refer to [the documentation](#documentation-for-acap-and-camera-api).
+
+-   New API modules and endpoints have been introduced, providing extended functionality and better coverage of the underlying service.

--   [CamOverlayAPI](doc/CamOverlayAPI.md) is a module to access CamOverlay HTTP interface.
+### Breaking changes when moving from version 2.\*.\* to 3.\*.\*
+
+-   CamStreamerlib requiers Node.js version 18 or higher.
+-   CamOverlayDrawingAPI tries to reconnect when the websocket is closed. You don't have to do it manually.

+-   Files `common.ts`, `Digest.ts`, `HttpRequest.ts` and `WsClient.ts` moved to a folder internal.
+-   Removed function `httpRequest()`. Use `sendRequest()` instead. It uses the same interface except for the "noWaitForData" parameter.
 
--   [CamOverlayPainter/](doc/CamOverlayPainter.md) contains three modules which makes easier to use CamOverlayDrawingAPI.
+> It returns (Response object)[https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Response] which doesn't contain data by default.
+> If you need to wait for data, you can call for example the function `await res.text()`.
+> This change affects the function `vapixGet` from (CameraVapix)[doc/CameraVapix.md] too.
