+# Changelog
+
+All notable changes to this project are documented here. Format: [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.1.0/),
+versioning: [SemVer](https://semver.org/).
+
+## [Unreleased]
+
+## [0.1.0] - 2026-10-19
+
+### Added
+
+- Export the matrix as YAML (shown columns and rows, every action) and import such a file: within the file's scope
+  the changes are staged for the normal review, nothing is written until Apply. Groups, users and object types are
+  named, never numbered, so a file can move between NetBox instances. Also `POST import/` in the REST API.
+- Matrix page in Admin > Authentication, right below Permissions: action tabs, search, app filter, user
+  columns, column picker, bulk toggles, gear panel, staged changes with review and apply.
+- Who can page per object type, and a Permissions Matrix tab on each group.
+- Change planner: turns matrix cell changes into create, update and delete operations on NetBox's own
+  permissions, splitting shared permissions so no other group or user changes access.
+- REST API: `matrix/`, `principal/`, `plan/`, `apply/` and `import/` under `/api/plugins/permissions-matrix/`, with a
+  version token against concurrent changes and NetBox permission checks on every operation. Read-only API tokens
+  cannot plan, apply or import.
+- Documentation site: installation, quick start, configuration, the matrix, how changes map to permissions, who can,
+  group tab, export and import, permissions, REST API, limitations, troubleshooting and development.
+- Project scaffold: plugin configuration, settings, CI, release and documentation workflows, development stack.

+      or contributory patent infringement, then any patent licenses
+      granted to You under this License for that Work shall terminate
+      as of the date such litigation is filed.

+      Work or Derivative Works thereof in any medium, with or without
+      modifications, and in Source or Object form, provided that You

+          that You distribute, all copyright, patent, trademark, and
+          attribution notices from the Source form of the Work,
+          excluding those notices that do not pertain to any part of
+          the Derivative Works; and
+
+      (d) If the Work includes a "NOTICE" text file as part of its
+          distribution, then any Derivative Works that You distribute must
+          include a readable copy of the attribution notices contained
+          within such NOTICE file, excluding those notices that do not
+          pertain to any part of the Derivative Works, in at least one
+          of the following places: within a NOTICE text file distributed
+          as part of the Derivative Works; within the Source form or
+          documentation, if provided along with the Derivative Works; or,
+          within a display generated by the Derivative Works, if and
+          wherever such third-party notices normally appear. The contents
+          of the NOTICE file are for informational purposes only and
+          do not modify the License. You may add Your own attribution
+          notices within Derivative Works that You distribute, alongside
+          or as an addendum to the NOTICE text from the Work, provided
+          that such additional attribution notices cannot be construed
+          as modifying the License.
+
+      You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications and
+      may provide additional or different license terms and conditions
+      for use, reproduction, or distribution of Your modifications, or
+      for any such Derivative Works as a whole, provided Your use,
+      reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies with
+      the conditions stated in this License.
+
+   5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
+      any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
+      by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
+      this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
+      Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify
+      the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed
+      with Licensor regarding such Contributions.
+
+   6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade
+      names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor,
+      except as required for reasonable and customary use in describing the
+      origin of the Work and reproducing the content of the NOTICE file.
+
+   7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or
+      agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each
+      Contributor provides its Contributions) on an "AS IS" BASIS,
+      WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or

+      PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the
+      appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any
+      risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.

+      whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,
+      unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
+      negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
+      liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
+      incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
+      result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
+      Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
+      work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
+      other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
+      has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
+
+   9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
+      the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
+      and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,
+      or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this
+      License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only
+      on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf
+      of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,
+      defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
+      incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
+      of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.

+
+A NetBox plugin that shows NetBox's object permissions as a matrix: object types down the side, groups (and
+optionally users) across the top, one checkbox per cell for the selected action. Ticking and unticking cells edits
+NetBox's own permissions, with a review of every change before it is written.
+
+**Documentation: https://thomaschristory.github.io/netbox-permissions-matrix-plugin/**
+
+> **Status: pre-release.** Below 1.0, read the review dialog before applying changes.
+
+## Features
+
+- One page answers "what can this group do?" and "who can change prefixes?".
+- View, Add, Change, Delete and custom action tabs; bulk toggles per row, app and column.
+- Edits native `ObjectPermission` records only. No models, no migrations; uninstalling leaves a normal setup.
+- Safe with shared permissions: a change for one group never changes another group's access.
+- Stage, review, apply: every created, changed or deleted permission is shown first and written in one transaction.
+- Who can page per object type, and a Permissions Matrix tab on each group.
+- Export to YAML and import back, on the same NetBox or another one, through the same review.
+
+## Compatibility
