+## 3.0.0 (TBD, 2025)
+
+### Summary
+
+`cmd2` now has a dependency on [rich](https://github.com/Textualize/rich) for rich text and pretty
+formatting in the terminal. Previously, `cmd2` had a large amount of custom code for this purpose
+that predated the existence of `rich`. This opens the door to even more beautiful `cmd2`
+applications. To get the most out of the new capabilities, we encourage you to spend a little bit of
+time reading the [rich documentation](https://rich.readthedocs.io/).
+
+### Details
+
+- Breaking Changes
+    - Refactored and modernized styling and utility modules:
+        - Removed the legacy `table_creator.py` module in favor of `rich` tables (see the
+          [rich_tables.py](https://github.com/python-cmd2/cmd2/blob/main/examples/rich_tables.py)
+          example for more info)
+        - Moved all string-related functions from `utils.py` to a new `string_utils.py` module
+        - Consolidated all string styling functions from `ansi.py` into `string_utils.py`
+        - Replaced all text style enums from `ansi.py` with modern `rich` styles
+        - Renamed `ansi.py` to `terminal_utils.py` to better reflect its purpose
+    - Dropped support for Python 3.9. `cmd2` now requires Python 3.10 or later
+    - Replaced `Settable.get_value()` and `Settable.set_value()` methods with a more Pythonic
+      `value` property
+    - Removed redundant setting of a parser's `prog` value in the `with_argparser()` decorator, as
+      this is now handled centrally in `Cmd._build_parser()`
+    - The `auto_load_commands` argument to `cmd2.Cmd.__init__` now defaults to `False`
+
+- Enhancements
+    - Enhanced all print methods (`poutput()`, `perror()`, `ppaged()`, etc.) to natively render
+      `rich` objects, enabling beautiful and complex output
+    - Simplified the process for setting a custom parser for `cmd2`'s built-in commands. See the
+      [custom_parser.py](https://github.com/python-cmd2/cmd2/blob/main/examples/custom_parser.py)
+      example for an updated guide
+    - Introduced `Cmd.macro_arg_complete()` for tab-completing macro arguments, with default path
+      completion that can be easily customized
+    - Added `colors.py` and `styles.py` to provide easy access to `rich` color names and manage
+      `cmd2`-specific style definitions using `StrEnum` (see the
+      [colors.py](https://github.com/python-cmd2/cmd2/blob/main/examples/color.py) example for a
+      demonstration of all colors available to your `cmd2` application)
+    - Added ability to create a custom theme for a `cmd2` application using `rich_utils.set_theme`
+      (see the [rich_theme.py](https://github.com/python-cmd2/cmd2/blob/main/examples/rich_theme.py)
+      example for more info)
+    - Consolidated multiple redundant examples into a few more comprehensive ones, see:
+        - [argparse_example.py](https://github.com/python-cmd2/cmd2/blob/main/examples/argparse_example.py)
+        - [command_sets.py](https://github.com/python-cmd2/cmd2/blob/main/examples/command_sets.py)
+        - [getting_started.py](https://github.com/python-cmd2/cmd2/blob/main/examples/getting_started.py)
+    - Optimized performance of terminal fixup during command finalization by replacing `stty sane`
+      with `termios.tcsetattr`
+
+- Bug Fixes
+    - Fixed a redirection bug where `cmd2` could unintentionally overwrite an application's
+      `sys.stdout`

+# Instructions for Gemini CLI in a `uv` Python project
+
+This `GEMINI.md` file provides context and instructions for the Gemini CLI when working with this
+Python project, which utilizes `uv` for environment and package management.
+
+## General Instructions
+
+- **Environment Management:** Prefer using `uv` for all Python environment management tasks.
+- **Package Installation:** Always use `uv` to install packages and ensure they are installed within
+  the project's virtual environment.
+- **Running Scripts/Commands:**
+    - To run Python scripts within the project's virtual environment, use `uv run ...`.
+    - To run programs directly from a PyPI package (installing it on the fly if necessary), use
+      `uvx ...` (shortcut for `uv tool run`).
+- **New Dependencies:** If a new dependency is required, please state the reason for its inclusion.
+
+## Python Code Standards
+
+To ensure Python code adheres to required standards, the following commands **must** be run before
+creating or modifying any `.py` files:
+
+```bash
+make check
+```
+
+To run unit tests use the following command:
+
+```bash
+make test
+```
+
+To make sure the documentation builds properly, use the following command:
+
+```bash
+make docs-test
+```
+
+All 3 of the above commands should be run prior to committing code.
