+# 🚀 Release v2.2.0 - Centralized Backup System + New Read Tools
+
+**Release Date:** April 22, 2026  
+**Type:** Minor Release (New Features + Improvements)
+
+---
+
+## 🎯 What's New
+
+### 1. 📖 **New Read Tools** (Token Efficiency Champions)
+
+#### `read_file_lines` - Surgical Line Reading
+Read specific line ranges or search around patterns without loading entire files.
+
+**Use Cases:**
+- Debug specific code blocks
+- View error context from stack traces
+- Inspect method implementations without full file overhead
+
+**Token Savings:** ~90% compared to reading full files
+
+**Examples:**
+```typescript
+// Read exact range
+read_file_lines({
+  filePath: "/project/src/utils.ts",
+  startLine: 120,
+  endLine: 135
+})
+
+// Search around pattern
+read_file_lines({
+  filePath: "/project/src/service.ts",
+  aroundPattern: "calculateTotal",
+  contextLines: 5
+})
+```
+
+#### `search_code_pattern` - Repository-Wide Pattern Search
+Find patterns across your codebase with context, respecting `.gitignore`.
+
+**Use Cases:**
+- Find all usages of a function
+- Locate TODO comments
+- Search for specific patterns with context
+
+**Token Savings:** ~85% compared to manual grep workflows
+
+**Examples:**
+```typescript
+search_code_pattern({
+  rootDir: "/project",
+  pattern: "widget\\.height",
+  fileExtensions: [".dart"],
+  showContext: true,
+  maxResults: 20
+})
+```
+
+---
+
+### 2. 🧹 **Centralized Backup System** (Major Improvement)
+
+**Problem Solved:** Backups were scattered throughout projects, polluting git status and creating multiple `.mcp-backups/` folders.
+
+**Solution:** ONE centralized backup directory at project root.
+
+#### Before (v2.1.x):
+```
+project/
+├── lib/
+│   ├── screens/
+│   │   └── .mcp-backups/  ❌
+│   └── services/
+│       └── .mcp-backups/  ❌
+└── src/
+    └── .mcp-backups/      ❌
+```
+
+#### After (v2.2.0):
+```
+project/
+├── .mcp-backups/          ✅ ONE directory
+│   ├── lib/
+│   │   ├── screens/
+│   │   └── services/
+│   └── src/
+├── lib/
+├── services/
+└── src/
+```
+
+**Benefits:**
+- ✅ Clean git status
+- ✅ Easy to clean all backups at once
+- ✅ Preserves internal folder structure
+- ✅ Backward compatible
+
+#### `clean_backups` - New Cleanup Tool
+Remove all backups with a single command.
+
+```typescript
+clean_backups({
+  projectRoot: "/path/to/project"
+})
+```
+
+---
+
+## 📊 Technical Improvements
+
+### Test Coverage
+- **148 tests passing** (100% success rate)
+  - 35 Dart compression tests
+  - 33 PHP compression tests
+  - 59 Surgical writing tests
+  - 7 New tools tests
+  - 7 Backup system tests
+  - 7 Integration tests
+
+### Performance
+- `read_file_lines`: 90% token reduction vs full file reads
+- `search_code_pattern`: 85% more efficient than manual grep
+- Centralized backups: 0 scattered directories
+
+### Reliability
+- Comprehensive error handling
+- Edge case coverage (deep nesting, non-existent paths)
+- Backward compatible with legacy backup locations

+# 🚀 Release v2.3.0 - Security Fix
+
+**Release Date:** April 23, 2026  
+**Type:** Minor Release (Security Fix + Architecture Improvements)
+
+---
+
+## 🎯 Overview
+
+Version 2.3.0 includes a **critical security fix** blocking Dart/Python cross-file rename operations to prevent code corruption, plus architectural improvements for better maintainability.
+
+---
+
+## 🛡️ Security Fix (CRITICAL)
+
+### Problem
+Cross-file rename for Dart and Python files was using regex-based replacement, which risks corrupting:
+- String literals
+- Comments  
+- Docstrings
+- Unrelated code with similar names
+
+### Solution
+**Blocked `rename_symbol` for `.dart`, `.py`, `.pyi` files** with clear error messages directing users to IDE refactoring tools.
+
+```typescript
+// src/handlers/writeHandlers.ts
+const ext = path.extname(resolvedPath).toLowerCase();
+if (['.dart', '.py', '.pyi'].includes(ext)) {
+  return errorResponse(
+    `⚠️ Cross-file rename not supported for ${ext} files.\n\n` +
+    `Reason: No AST parser available for safe refactoring.\n` +
+    `Recommendation: Use IDE refactoring tools:\n` +
+    `  • Dart: VS Code with Dart extension (F2 key)\n` +
+    `  • Python: PyCharm, VS Code with Pylance (F2 key)`
+  );
+}
+```
+
+### Impact
+- ✅ **TypeScript/JavaScript/PHP**: Fully functional (AST-aware rename)
+- ✅ **Dart/Python single-file**: Works via `write_file_surgical`  
+- ⚠️ **Dart/Python cross-file**: Blocked with helpful error
+
+### Tests Added
+- 15 new tests in `tests/test-rename-limitations.ts`
+- Validates blocking for Dart/Python
+- Validates TS/PHP still work
+
+---
+
+## ✨ What's New
+
+### 1. 🏗️ **Modular Architecture**
+
+**Refactored for maintainability:**
+- `index.ts`: 1100 → 350 lines
+- Handlers separated into modules:
+  - `src/handlers/readHandlers.ts` - 5 read tools
+  - `src/handlers/writeHandlers.ts` - 4 write tools  
+  - `src/handlers/utilHandlers.ts` - 2 utility tools
+
+### 2. 🔒 **Security Enhancements**
+
+New validation module: `src/utils/validation.ts`
+- Path traversal prevention
+- ReDoS protection
+- Input sanitization
+- File size limits (10MB max)
+- Binary file detection
+
+### 3. ⚡ **Performance Optimization**
+
+LRU cache system: `src/cache/astCache.ts`
+- **90% faster** for repeated operations
+- Automatic invalidation via mtime
+- Memory-bounded with LRU eviction
+
+### 4. 🧹 **Code Quality**
+
+Centralized utilities:
+- `src/utils/constants.ts` - Configuration
+- `src/utils/normalization.ts` - CRLF/indentation
+- Eliminated 23 hardcoded values
+- Removed 5 code duplications
+
+### 5. 📚 **Documentation**
+
+- Added "Known Limitations" section to README
+- Updated CHANGELOG with security fix
+- Architecture documentation in `docs/`
+
+---
+

+      "args": ["-y", "mcp-code-context@2.3.0"]
+    }
+  }
+}
+```

+
+---
+
+## ⚠️ Known Limitations
+
+### `rename_symbol` Tool
+
+**Dart and Python**: Cross-file rename is **NOT supported**.
+
+- **Reason**: No AST parser available for safe cross-file refactoring
+- **Risk**: Regex-based rename may corrupt strings, comments, or unrelated code
+- **Recommendation**: Use IDE refactoring tools:
+  - **Dart**: VS Code with Dart extension (F2 key) or IntelliJ IDEA
+  - **Python**: PyCharm, VS Code with Pylance (F2 key)
+- **Alternative**: Use `write_file_surgical` to rename within a single file
+
+**TypeScript, JavaScript, PHP**: Fully supported with AST-aware renaming ✅
+
+---

+# 🚀 Release v2.3.1 - Hotfix
+
+**Release Date:** April 23, 2026  
+**Type:** Patch Release (Dependency Fix)
+
+---
+
+## 🐛 Bug Fix
+
+### Fixed npm Package Dependency Error
+
+**Problem**: Version 2.3.0 failed to run via `npx` with error:
+```
+Error [ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND]: Cannot find package 'typescript'
+```
+
+**Root Cause**: The `safeRename.ts` module uses TypeScript compiler API at runtime, but `typescript` was in `devDependencies` instead of `dependencies`.
+
+**Solution**: Moved `typescript` from `devDependencies` to `dependencies` in `package.json`.
+
+**Impact**: 
+- ✅ `npx -y mcp-code-context@2.3.1` now works correctly
+- ✅ All MCP clients can use the package without errors
+- ✅ No breaking changes
+
+---
+
