[1.0.0] 2026-08-10

Glendam becomes the permanent repository, package, module, Erlang FFI, and environment-variable identity of the maintained fork.

• Rename the GitHub repository, Gleam package, and module namespace to Glendam and glendam.
• Rename Erlang FFI modules and runtime environment variables to the glendam and GLENDAM_ namespaces.
• Update local consumers, development scripts, CI, documentation, and generated-source paths for the new identity.
• Document that the project began as a Chrobot fork, currently focuses on web integration for the Glendix ecosystem, and ultimately aims to be a multifunction, general-purpose headless browser.

[7.0.0] 2026-08-04

The maintained fork adopted an intermediate repository, package, module, Erlang FFI, and environment-variable identity.

• Rename the GitHub repository from chrobot to its intermediate identity.
• Rename the Gleam package and module namespace from chrobot_extra to the intermediate namespace.
• Rename Erlang FFI modules and runtime environment variables to the corresponding intermediate namespaces.
• Update local consumers, development scripts, CI, documentation, and generated-source paths for that identity.
• Document that the project began as a Chrobot fork, currently focuses on web integration for the Glendix ecosystem, and ultimately aims to be a multifunction, general-purpose headless browser.

[6.0.0] 2026-07-29

Chrobot Extra became the first independent identity of this maintained continuation of Chrobot.

• Rename the Hex package, Gleam module namespace, Erlang FFI module, examples, tests, and runtime environment variables from chrobot to chrobot_extra.
• Document the project’s lineage and make clear that releases are no longer synchronized with the original Chrobot repository.
• Remove the obsolete codegen.sh wrapper and the bidirectional upstream rename scripts. Protocol generation remains available directly through gleam run -m codegen/generate_bindings for repository maintenance.
• Require Gleam 1.17.0 and update the development toolchain to Erlang/OTP 29.0.4 and rebar3 3.27.0.
• Update all direct and transitive dependencies to their latest releases as of 2026-07-29, including major releases of gleam_stdlib, birdie, and mist.
• Carry forward the maintained fork’s Windows WebSocket transport and Chrome 146+ debugger endpoint discovery, updating gun to 2.5.0.
• Normalize Chrome DevTools Protocol number decoding across generated modules so integer-encoded values are accepted as floats.
• Make session persistence tolerate opaque origins and make response collection wait for the matching network loading lifecycle event.
• Update CI actions and make CI run dependency download, type checking, tests, and formatting checks against the renamed package.

Migration from Chrobot to Chrobot Extra

• Change the dependency from chrobot to chrobot_extra.
• Change imports from chrobot and chrobot/... to chrobot_extra and chrobot_extra/....
• Change Elixir module calls from :chrobot to :chrobot_extra.
• Rename configuration variables from CHROBOT_* to CHROBOT_EXTRA_*.
