+- [v1.7.0 → v1.8.0](#v170---v180)
+
+## v2.2.15 → v2.3.1
+
+### Changes
+
+- **Natural Language Input**: Standard text inputs can now resolve relative expressions (e.g. "today", "tomorrow", relative day/week/month/year offsets, quarter descriptors). Controlled via `[enableNaturalLanguage]` and emits via `(naturalLanguageResolved)`.
+- **Multi-Calendar Layouts**: Support for showing 2 or 3 calendars side-by-side via `[calendars]`.
+- **Dynamic Presets**: Supply a custom preset callback via `[rangePresetFactory]`.
+- **Timezone Selection**: Searchable timezone selection dropdown via `[showTimezoneSelector]`.
+- **Range Warnings**: Emits `(invalidRange)` if a range contains disabled dates.
+
+### Migration Steps
+
+No breaking changes. Upgrade with:
+
+```bash
+npm install ngxsmk-datepicker@2.3.1
+```
+
+## npm: skip v2.2.12
+
+The **`2.2.12`** package on the registry is missing **`fesm2022/`** and **`types/`**. Stay on **`2.2.11`** or upgrade to **`2.3.1`** (or newer) once published ([#230](https://github.com/NGXSMK/ngxsmk-datepicker/issues/230)).
+
+```bash
+npm install ngxsmk-datepicker@2.3.1
+```
+
+## v2.2.7 → v2.2.11
+
+### Changes
+
+- **npm package**: The `2.2.7` tarball on the registry omitted `fesm2022/` and `types/`. **2.2.11** republishes the same library with a complete build. No API or feature changes versus the intended 2.2.7 release.
+
+### Migration Steps
+
+No breaking changes.
+
+```bash
+npm install ngxsmk-datepicker@2.3.1
+```
+
+## v2.2.6 → v2.2.7
+
+### Changes
+
+- **Publishing**: npm releases again ship compiled Angular library output (`fesm2022/`, `types/`).
+- **Range mode**: Optional `[allowSameDay]="true"` to complete a range when start and end are the same calendar day.
+
+### Migration Steps
+
+No breaking changes. Use **2.2.11** on npm (the `2.2.7` npm package was incomplete; 2.2.11 matches the intended 2.2.7 release).
+
+```bash
+npm install ngxsmk-datepicker@2.3.1
+```
+
+## v2.2.3 → v2.2.6
+
+### Changes
+
+- **Timezone Support**: Added full support for IANA timezones in "Today" calculation. The component now correctly identifies "Today" based on the configured `timezone` input rather than just browser local time.
+- **Date Validation**: Fixed an issue where "Today" could become unselectable if `minDate` was set to the current time later in the day. `minDate` validation now correctly normalizes to the start of the day.
+- **Keyboard Shortcuts**: Updated `selectToday` shortcut to use the timezone-aware `today` value.
+
+### Migration Steps
+
+No migration steps required.
+
+```bash
+npm install ngxsmk-datepicker@2.2.6
+```
+
+## v2.2.0 → v2.2.3
+
+### Changes
+
+- **Code Quality**: Refactored static Material support methods to reduce cognitive complexity and nesting depth (ESLint `S3776`, `S2004`).
+- **Improved Coverage**: Increased function coverage to ~68.2% through new internal test suites.
+- **Stability**: Fixed regression in touch/swipe event stubs and Material Form Field integration state.
+- **Maintenance**: Marked `_allInstances` as `readonly` and removed redundant `demo` script.
+
+### Migration Steps
+
+No migration steps required.
+
+```bash
+npm install ngxsmk-datepicker@2.2.3
+```
+
+## v2.1.8 → v2.2.0
+
+### Changes
+
+- **Header Select Synchronization**: Migrated header components to `ViewEncapsulation.None` and consolidated styles into `_header.scss`.
+- **Improved Dropdown Layout**: Professional `space-between` layout for Month/Year selectors.
+- **Enhanced Visibility**: High-contrast text for non-selected dropdown options.
+- **Web Component Support**: New capability to compile/export as a Universal Custom Web Component for React, Vue, & Vanilla JS.
+- **Performance**: Reduced calendar opening timers for faster feedback (150ms mobile / 60ms desktop).
+
+### Migration Steps
+
+No migration steps required.
+
+```bash
+npm install ngxsmk-datepicker@2.2.0
+```
+
+## v2.1.7 → v2.1.8
+
+### Changes
+
+- **Fixed**: **appendToBody** popover positioning (Issue #206).
+- **Fixed**: Datepicker in modal positioning fixes.
+- **Changed**: Reduced loading/opening delays and CSS cleanup.
+
+### Migration Steps
+
+No migration steps required.
+
+```bash
+npm install ngxsmk-datepicker@2.1.8
+```
+
+## v2.1.6 → v2.1.7

+### Changes
+
+- **Version Update**: Updated to version 2.1.7.
+- **Fixed**: Resolved `No provider for DatePipe` runtime error. The library is now fully self-contained regarding `DatePipe` usage.
+- No breaking changes.
+
+### Migration Steps
+
+No migration steps required. If you previously added `DatePipe` to your `app.config.ts` or `AppModule` providers solely for this library, you can now safely remove it.
+
+```bash
+npm install ngxsmk-datepicker@2.1.7
+```
+
+## v2.1.5 → v2.1.6
+
+### Changes
+
+- **Version Update**: Updated to version 2.1.6.
+- No breaking changes.
+
+### Migration Steps
+
+No migration steps required.
+
+```bash
+npm install ngxsmk-datepicker@2.1.6
+```
+
+## v2.1.4 → v2.1.5
+
+### Changes
+
+- **Version Update**: Updated to version 2.1.5.
+- **New**: User-facing validation messages (i18n) for invalid date, date before min, date after max; calendar loading state (visual + a11y); installation options doc and demo page updates; demo light/dark theme fix; optional issue-reproduction app. Service refactors (calendar generation, parsing) are internal.
+- No breaking changes.
+
+### Migration Steps
+
+No migration steps required.
+
+```bash
+npm install ngxsmk-datepicker@2.1.5
+```
+
+## v2.1.3 → v2.1.4

+```
+
+## v2.1.2 → v2.1.3
+
+### Changes
+
+- **Version Update**: Updated to version 2.1.3.
+- **Bug Fix**: Fixed inline datepicker width issue where it was constrained by container styles in some contexts. The inline mode now correctly fit its content.
+- No breaking changes.
+
+### Migration Steps
+
+No migration steps required.
+
+```bash
+npm install ngxsmk-datepicker@2.1.3
+```
+
+

+
+### Changes
+
+- **Version Update**: Updated to version 2.1.2.
+- **Circular Dependency Fix**: Resolved `RuntimeError: NG0200` when using forms by removing `NG_VALUE_ACCESSOR` from providers. This might require verifying your form integration if you were relying on side-effects of the previous implementation.
+- **UI Refresh**: Implemented a "border detox" and refined aesthetics.
+- **Removed Feature**: The range duration header (which displayed "X Days" during range selection) has been removed.
+- **Mobile Stabilization**: Critical fixes for mobile browsers.
+
+No migration steps required.
+
+```bash
+npm install ngxsmk-datepicker@latest
+```
+
+
+## v2.0.11 → v2.1.1
+
+### ⚠️ CRITICAL NOTICE
+
+**Versions 2.0.10 and 2.0.11 are broken and should NOT be used.**
+
+These versions have critical package configuration issues that prevent proper TypeScript module resolution. If you have installed either of these versions, please upgrade to v2.1.1 immediately.
+
+### Changes
+
+- **Package Fixes**: Corrected TypeScript declaration paths and package configuration
+  - Fixed `types` and `typings` fields to point to the correct location: `types/ngxsmk-datepicker.d.ts`
+  - Simplified exports configuration to match stable v2.0.9 format
+  - Removed disallowed `esm2022` property from package.json
+- **No Breaking Changes**: This is a minor version update with package configuration improvements
+- **Recommended Update**: All v2.0.x users should update to v2.1.1 for proper TypeScript support
+- **Skip 2.0.10 & 2.0.11**: These versions have been unpublished from npm due to broken package configuration
+
+### Migration Steps
+
+Update your package.json to use the new version:
+
+```bash
+npm install ngxsmk-datepicker@2.1.1
+```
+
+**No code changes required.** This update only fixes package configuration issues that were preventing proper TypeScript declaration file resolution.
+
+### What's Fixed
+
+If you were experiencing the following error:
+
+```
+Could not find a declaration file for module 'ngxsmk-datepicker'
+```
+
+This is now resolved in v2.1.1. The package now correctly points to its TypeScript declaration files.
+
+## v2.0.7 → v2.0.8
+

+
+## v2.0.5 → v2.0.6
+
+### Changes
+
+- **Enhanced Range Picker Reselection**: Improved comprehensive range reselection behavior
+  - Clicking the start date when a complete range is selected now clears only the end date
+  - Clicking the end date when a complete range is selected now clears the start date and sets the end date as the new start date
+  - **NEW**: Clicking any date within the selected range now clears the end date and sets the clicked date as the new start date
+  - Allows users to easily redefine date ranges from any point (start, end, or within the range)
+- **Code Cleanup**: Removed unnecessary inline comments from range selection logic for cleaner, more maintainable code
+- No breaking changes.
+
+### Migration Steps

+
+## v1.9.30 → v2.0.0
+
+### Overview
+
+v2.0.0 is a major version update representing significant architectural improvements, enhanced features, and modernization of the codebase. While maintaining backward compatibility for most features, some breaking changes are necessary for improved performance, type safety, and Angular alignment.
+
+### Breaking Changes
+
+#### 1. Angular Version Requirement
+
+**Change**: Minimum Angular version updated to 17.0.0+
+
+**Reason**: To leverage modern Angular features (signals, standalone components, built-in control flow)
+
+**Migration**:
+
+```bash
+# Update Angular to v17+
+ng update @angular/core@17 @angular/cli@17
+
+# Then update ngxsmk-datepicker
+npm install ngxsmk-datepicker@2.0.0
+```
+
+#### 2. Signal Forms Integration
+
+**Change**: Enhanced Signal Forms API with stricter typing
+
+**Before** (v1.x):
+
+```typescript
+// Signal form field with loose typing
+[field] = "mySignalFormField";
+```
+
+**After** (v2.0):
+
+```typescript
+// Import SignalFormFieldConfig for type safety
+import { SignalFormFieldConfig } from "ngxsmk-datepicker";
+
+// Signal form field with strict typing
+[field] = "mySignalFormField"; // Now with proper type inference
+```
+
+**Migration**: No code changes required, but TypeScript will now catch type errors earlier.
+
+#### 3. Timezone Utilities API
+
+**Change**: Improved timezone utility function signatures for type safety
+
+**Before** (v1.x):
+
+```typescript
+// Loose parameter types
+formatDateWithTimezone(date, locale, options, timezone);
+```
+
+**After** (v2.0):
+
+```typescript
+// Strict parameter types with proper interfaces
+formatDateWithTimezone(
+  date: Date,
+  locale: string,
+  options: Intl.DateTimeFormatOptions,
+  timezone?: string
+): string;
+```
+
+**Migration**: Ensure you're passing correctly typed parameters to timezone utilities.
+
+#### 4. Deprecated Properties Removed
+
+**Change**: Removed properties deprecated in v1.9.x
+
+**Removed**:
+
+- `numberOfMonths` (use `calendarCount` instead - deprecated since v1.9.12)
+
+**Migration**:
+
+```typescript
+// Before (v1.x)
+<ngxsmk-datepicker [numberOfMonths]="2"></ngxsmk-datepicker>
+
+// After (v2.0)
+<ngxsmk-datepicker [calendarCount]="2"></ngxsmk-datepicker>
+```
+
+#### 5. Service Extraction
+
+**Change**: Internal architecture refactored - services extracted from main component
+
+**Impact**: If you were extending or monkey-patching internal component methods, this may break.
+
+**Affected Internal Services**:
+
+- `CalendarGenerationService` - Calendar generation logic
+- `DatepickerParsingService` - Date parsing and formatting
+- `TouchGestureHandlerService` - Touch gesture handling
+- `PopoverPositioningService` - Popover positioning
+
+**Migration**: Use public APIs instead of internal methods. If you need access to these services, inject them:
+
+```typescript
+import { CalendarGenerationService } from 'ngxsmk-datepicker';
+
+constructor(private calendarService: CalendarGenerationService) {}
+```
+
+### New Features
+
+#### 1. Enhanced Time Selection
+
+```typescript
+// Time range mode
+<ngxsmk-datepicker
+  [timeRangeMode]="true"
+  [showTime]="true"
+></ngxsmk-datepicker>
+
+// Seconds support (already available, now documented)
+<ngxsmk-datepicker
+  [showSeconds]="true"
+  [secondInterval]="5"
+></ngxsmk-datepicker>
+
+// Step configuration
+<ngxsmk-datepicker
+  [minuteInterval]="15"
+  [secondInterval]="30"
+></ngxsmk-datepicker>
+```
+
+#### 2. Internationalization Improvements
+
+```typescript
+// Custom date format patterns
+import { CustomDateFormatService } from "ngxsmk-datepicker";
+
+customFormat.format(date, "YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss", "en-US");
+
+// Locale-aware number formatting
+import { formatLocaleNumber } from "ngxsmk-datepicker";
+
+formatLocaleNumber(42, "de-DE"); // "42"
+```
+
+#### 3. Animation API
+
+```typescript
+// Configure animations
+<ngxsmk-datepicker
+  [animationConfig]="{
+    duration: 200,
+    easing: 'ease-in-out',
+    enabled: true
+  }"
+></ngxsmk-datepicker>
+
+// Respects prefers-reduced-motion automatically
+```
+
+#### 4. Multi-Calendar Sync Scrolling
+
+```typescript
+// Synchronized scrolling for multi-calendar layouts
+<ngxsmk-datepicker
+  [calendarCount]="2"
+  [syncScroll]="true"
+  [monthGap]="1"
+></ngxsmk-datepicker>
+```
+
+### Performance Improvements
+
+#### 1. Virtual Scrolling
+
+Year and decade views now use virtual scrolling for better performance with large date ranges:
+
+```typescript
+// Automatically enabled for year/decade views
+// Handles 100+ years efficiently
+<ngxsmk-datepicker [currentView]="'year'"></ngxsmk-datepicker>
+```
+
+#### 2. Signal-Based Reactivity
+
+Change detection is now automatic and more efficient:
+
+```typescript
+// Automatically optimized - no manual change detection needed
+component.selectedDate.set(new Date());
+```
+
+#### 3. Lazy Loading
+
+Multi-month calendars are now lazily rendered:
+
+```typescript
+// Only visible calendars + buffer are rendered
+<ngxsmk-datepicker [calendarCount]="12"></ngxsmk-datepicker>
+```
+
+### Testing Infrastructure
+
+New testing utilities are available:
+
+```typescript
+// Accessibility testing
+import { runAccessibilityScan } from "ngxsmk-datepicker/testing";
+
+// Performance benchmarking
+import { measureSync, benchmark } from "ngxsmk-datepicker/testing";
+
+// Visual regression testing
+import { captureElementScreenshot, compareImageData } from "ngxsmk-datepicker/testing";
+```
+
+### Documentation Updates

+
+### New Features
+
+#### Signal Forms Support
+
+Added `[field]` input for Angular 21+ Signal Forms integration.
+
+**Before:**
+
+```typescript
+// Using Reactive Forms
+dateControl = new FormControl<DatepickerValue>(null);
+```
+
+```html
+<ngxsmk-datepicker formControlName="date"></ngxsmk-datepicker>
+```
+
+**After (Optional - Reactive Forms still work):**
+
+```typescript
+// Using Signal Forms
+localObject = signal({ date: null as DatepickerValue });
+myForm = form(
+  this.localObject,
+  objectSchema({
+    date: objectSchema<DatepickerValue>(),
+  }),
+);
+```
+
+```html
+<ngxsmk-datepicker [field]="myForm.date"></ngxsmk-datepicker>
+```
+
+#### SSR Optimizations
+
+The datepicker is now fully SSR-compatible. No code changes required, but ensure you're using the latest version for SSR applications.
+
+#### Improved Value Input
+
+The `[value]` input now initializes immediately when set programmatically.
+
+**Before:**
+
+```typescript
+// Value might not initialize immediately
+component.value = new Date();
+```
+
+**After:**
+
+```typescript
+// Value initializes immediately
+component.value = new Date();
+```
