+# Changelog
+
+## 1.0.0
+
+First stable release.
+
+### Features
+
+- **Markdown output** as the default format — `#` headings, `**bold**` metadata, `>` blockquoted context, `---` turn separators
+- **Three output formats:** Markdown (`.md`), plain text (`.txt`), JSON (`.json`)
+- **Four split modes:** single file, one-per-subject, date folders, ID-based
+- **Streaming parser** via `ijson` — handles 100MB+ exports without loading them into memory
+- **Structural field filtering** with `--fields` — include/exclude/groups modes
+- **Metadata filtering** with `--include`/`--exclude` — glob pattern support
+- **Transcript-oriented export** — follows the active conversation branch, not the full tree
+- **TOML configuration** for persistent defaults — format, split mode, transcript visibility, text layout
+- **Analyze command** — conversation count, message count, file size, date range, field coverage
+- **ChatGPT artifact stripping** — removes citation/navigation artifacts from text output
+- **Horizontal rule stripping** in Markdown mode — `---` only appears as turn separators, never inside message content
+- **UTC timestamps** throughout for reproducible exports
+- **Configurable date formats** for both conversation headers and analysis output
+- **217 tests** with CI on Python 3.10 through 3.13
+
+### Architecture
+
+- Modular core: filtering, formatting, splitting, and writing are independent subsystems
+- Subpackages by concern: `config/`, `transcript/`, `validation/`, `output/`
+- Clean CLI with `analyze` and `export` subcommands
+- Semantic config validation with clear error messages
