+# Changelog
+
+## 0.2.0 (2026-10-22)
+
+Metadata and placed creation, built to spec draft 3 (Behaviours 10 to 16). Nothing on the
+read side changes.
+
+- `ome_multiscales(axes, units, levels, version)` builds the complete OME-NGFF 0.4 or 0.5
+  group document with one explicit placement per level; `level_placement` and
+  `level_shape` derive a level from factors and an origin (Convention 1's rule inverted,
+    so a level built from a ROI origin is placed from it; `level_shape` absorbs float-noise
+  factors such as `0.3 / 0.1`). Units are written in OME's names (`"nm"` becomes
+  `"nanometer"`; `units.ome_name`), an unknown unit as given; the multiscale's `type` is
+  written when given. Expected documents are pinned in `tests/fixtures/write.json`, shared
+  with chunkmirage's TypeScript builder, each case with its resolved per-axis units and
+  types, fifteen cases.
+- `create(path, shape, dtype, voxel_size, translation, chunks=..., ...)` writes the group
+  document (made when absent, else its one dataset entry added or replaced, every other
+  attribute kept) and then the array, as zarr v2 with OME 0.4 or zarr v3 with OME 0.5
+  following the group's format. `chunks` is required, codecs are explicit with a zstd
+  level 3 default, shards are a zarr v3 option. `exists` is `"error"` or `"adopt"` (an
+  identical array is opened for writing, a different one raises naming every difference,
+  a creation lost to another process is adopted after a short backoff). Nothing is ever
+    deleted, truncated or overwritten. Write units equal to the fill value are not stored
+  unless `store_fill=True`, and a stored unit written so loses its key, as zarr-python's
+  `write_empty_chunks=False` does. `create` also writes a bare group document for every
+  missing ancestor down from the `.zarr` root and follows the nearest existing ancestor's
+  zarr version, so a level made in a zarr v2 container is zarr v2 with OME 0.4 and the
+  hierarchy browses (cellmap-analyze, cellmap-flow). Adopting an identical array writes no
+  group document; after a write the document is read again and a lost entry is written
+  again, then raises (registration-station's concurrent block jobs).
+- `ensure_group_entry` is public: list an array the package did not create, such as a
+  symlinked `s0` (mesh-n-bone), or a level filled before it is listed.
+- `open(path, mode="r+")` opens an existing array for writing; a `WorldArray` pickles by
+  its arguments and its context's spec and reopens in the receiving process, a capped
+  context staying capped (mesh-n-bone's workers). `write.codecs_of` takes a path.
+- `write_index(begin, end, data)` writes whole write units only (the shard when sharded,
+  else the chunk; the clipped last unit allowed), so writers in different processes need
+  no coordination; `partial=True` does tensorstore's read-modify-write. `write(box, data)`
+  maps a world box by the centre rule first. No cast, no padding, no resampling on write.
+- `open_pyramid(path, mode="r+").add_level(name, factors=, origin=)` creates a level's
+  entry and empty array, placed and sized from the level below with its dtype, chunks,
+  shards, codecs and fill value copied; the downsampling itself stays with the caller.
+- `chunk_key` and `parse_chunk_key` for zarr v2, zarr v3 (both encodings, sharded arrays
+  keyed by shard), N5 and precomputed, as free functions and on `WorldArray`;
+  `list_chunks` uses the same parser. `write_shape`, `ArrayMeta.shard_shape`,
+  `chunks_covering(write=True)`.
+## 0.1.1 (2026-10-22)
+
+- funlib `voxel_size`/`offset` on the parent group place an array that carries none, for
+  zarr and N5 alike; funlib's keys on an N5 array are read in the array's C order, as
+  zarr-python's N5 store writes them (both from mesh-n-bone's review of its PR #48).
+- A precomputed path that names a scale is that scale under `level=0` or `"first"` too;
+  other levels warn and are ignored, as on an array path.
+- The GCE metadata guard is applied only off Google Cloud (decided from the DMI product
+  name and the `GCE_METADATA_*` variables), so metadata-server credentials keep working on
+  a Google VM.
+- `Pyramid.placements()`, `voxel_sizes()` and `translations()` read the group document when
+  the pyramid was opened through one of its level paths too; they used to open every level
+  from there, and a missing level made them raise.
+- **Placement change.** An N5 level with `downsamplingFactors` and no offset now sits with
+  its corner at the origin at every level, as Neuroglancer draws N5: translation
+  `f / 2 * base`. 0.1.0 followed BigDataViewer for `pixelResolution` pyramids, centring the
+  base's voxel 0 on the origin (`(f - 1) / 2 * base`, half a base voxel lower), while
+  placing `resolution` pyramids with the corner at the origin, so the two disagreed. Two
+  shared fixture cases move and are renamed: `n5_group_pixelresolution_and_downsampling_factors_corner_at_origin`
+  (translation 4, 4, 4) and `n5_bigstitcher_resolution_with_downsampling_factors_corner_at_origin`
+  (0.5, 0.157, 0.157).
+
+## 0.1.0 (2026-10-21)
+
+- First version, built to `docs/spec.md`: open zarr v2, zarr v3, N5 and Neuroglancer
+  precomputed arrays and pyramids through tensorstore; one metadata precedence per format
+  with the voxel-centre rule for translations; index-space and world-box reads with
+  padding; level selection; nearest and linear resampling; retries; shared and capped
+  tensorstore contexts.
+  Built and trialled in one day against the readers it replaces in cellmap-flow,
+  cellmap-analyze, mesh-n-bone and chunkmirage, and checked on their own data by the
+  CineMap, liconn-err, registration-station and salamander repos; see `docs/spec.md`,
+  "Trial status". Hot-path reads cost 0.1 to 0.2 ms over a raw tensorstore read.
