# Changelog

All notable changes to layoutz-hs will be documented in this file.

## [0.4.0.0] - 2026-07-12

### Added
- Inline raster images via the kitty graphics protocol: `kittyImage`, `kittyImageFile`, `kittyRGB`, `kittyRGBA`. Images measure exactly `cols`×`rows` cells, so they compose with boxes, rows, tables, etc.
- One-shot `ask*` prompts that collapse to a single line once answered
- Progress `loader`s for wrapping work in build scripts and batch jobs: `loader`, `loaderStream`, and their `*Styled` variants

## [0.3.4.0] - 2026-03-31

### Added
- `renderText :: Element a => a -> Text` for rendering directly to `Data.Text.Text`.
- Unit tests for `renderText`.

### Changed
- Added `text` as an explicit dep on boot (stil technically zero dep by GHC standards)
- But easy to comment out `renderText` for porting to MicroHs

## [0.3.3.0] - 2026-03-14

### Added
- `runAppFinal`: like `runApp` but returns the final application state.
- `runAppWithFinal`: like `runAppWith` but returns the final application state.
- `runInline`: renders app inline without alt-screen, for embedded spinners/progress bars.
- New `InlineLoadingDemo` example.

## [0.3.2.0] - 2026-03-11

### Added
- `CmdExit` command for graceful app shutdown from within `appUpdate`.
- `cmdIsExit` helper to check if a command tree contains an exit.
