7# Version Update Workflow
8 
9**CRITICAL**: When the user asks to update/change/increment the version, you MUST update ALL THREE files listed below. Do not update just one file.
10 
11When updating the version number for UGTLive, you must update **three files**:
12 
13## 0. Write the Change Description FIRST
14 
15Before updating any files, run `git log --oneline` to review all commits since the last release. Use the commit messages to write a brief, accurate change description. **Do NOT use placeholder text like "[Description of changes]"** — always write the real description based on the commit log.
16 
17The description should:
18- Be brief (one line, matching the style of previous History entries in README.md)
19- Highlight the most notable new features, fixes, and improvements
20- Credit contributors/suggesters where commit messages mention them
21- Be used consistently across both the README history entry and the version checker JSON message
22 
23## 1. Source Code Version
24**File:** `src/SplashManager.cs`
25 
26Update the `CurrentVersion` constant:
27```csharp
28public const double CurrentVersion = X.XX;
29```
30 
31## 2. README.md Updates
32**File:** `README.md`
33 
34Update TWO locations:
351. **Version badge** (near top of file):
36```markdown
37   [![Version](https://img.shields.io/badge/version-X.XX-blue.svg)](...
38```
39 
402. **History section** - Add a new entry at the TOP of the History section:
41```markdown
42   **VX.XX [Month] [Day], [Year]** - [Brief description of changes from commit log]
43```
44 
45## 3. Version Checker JSON
46**File:** `media/latest_version_checker.json`
47 
48Update:
49- `latest_version` field to the new version number
50- `message` field with the change description (derived from the same commit log summary)
51 
52Example:
53```json
54{
55    "name":"Universal Game Translator Live",
56    "latest_version":X.XX,
57    "message":"Download V{VERSION_STRING} now from rtsoft.com?\n\nChanged: [Description from commit log]"
58}
59```
