+- the rename() function is no longer unnecessarily verbose
+- handled exception for when the user attempts to copy an entry field that does not exist
+
+fixes/optimizations:

+sshyp v1.1.1
+
+the sheecrets update - patch one
+
+this is a polish/bug fix release that makes tweaks to the entry format (without breaking compatibility)
+
+compatibility-breaking changes:
+
+- none; the entry format tweaks are backward compatible with sshyp v1.0.0+
+    ^ the new format is slightly more efficient in terms of storage space
+        ^ if you would like to upgrade to it, run this script (after updating to v1.1.1):
+          https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rwinkhart/sshyp-labs/main/extra/conversion-scripts/sshyp-refresh-1.1.1%2B.py
+
+user-facing features:
+
+- entries (when editing or adding) are now run through the new optimized_edit() function to strip trailing new lines
+and ensure the format of the entries is fully compatible with all of sshyp's functions
+
+fixes:
+
+- when adding a note to an entry, there is no longer a chance the first note line will be added as a url
+if the entry is using an older format/pass format
+- the gpg auto-generation file temporarily created by sshyp no longer includes extra spaces
+    ^ seems to serve no functional purpose - fixed for the sake of polish

+sshyp v1.1.0
+
+the sheecrets update
+
+the main focus of this release was adding extension support (particularly for sshyp-mfa)
+and cleaning up the configuration experience
+
+compatibility-breaking changes:
+
+- the entry directory has been moved from ~/.password-pasture to ~/.local/share/sshyp
+as a means of complying with the XDG base directory spec
+    ^ this requires the user to move their entry directory to the new location manually
+        ^ if this is not done, sshyp will not be able to find entries made prior to v1.1.0
+- due to a new configuration option (preferred text editor), 'sshyp tweak' must be run after updating
+
+user-facing features:
+
+- extension support
+    ^ some of sshyp's critical functions can now be imported into other programs to extend
+    upon sshyp's functionality
+        ^ the first usecase of this is sshyp-mfa, which can be found at https://github.com/rwinkhart/sshyp-labs
+- a new configuration experience
+    ^ the 'sshyp tweak' menu has been made much more readable, and now the automatically generated
+    gpg key has its id automatically input, making the process easier for the user
+- customizable text editor
+    ^ the text editor used for editing notes can now be set to any editor preferred by the user
+        ^ this means that nano was dropped as a dependency
+
+fixes:
+
+- to avoid exceptions on server devices, all arguments (apart from 'tweak') have been disabled on servers
+- fixed entry readout not printing blank lines between fields under certain conditions
+- various optimizations

-sshyp v1.0.0
+sshyp v1.1.2
 
-The Polished Trotters Update
+the sheecrets update - patch two
 
-This release brings 'sshyp' in line with the original goals of the project.
+this is a general polish/bugfix release
-As such, it is being crowned "v1.0.0", and is considered a stable base for future expansions.
 
-Features:
+user-facing features:
 
-- sshyp has been modified to run on Haiku, an open-source re-implementation of BeOS
+- packaging support for Alpine Linux/postmarketOS
-    ^ new package formats have been added for Haiku, FreeBSD, and Fedora Linux
+- the rename() function is no longer unnecessarily verbose
-- the entry format has been changed to support entries created in pass/password-store
+- handled exception for when the user attempts to copy an entry field that does not exist
-    ^ this change requires existing entry libraries to be converted - see the sshyp v1.0.0 release page on GitHub for a conversion script
-- majorly overhauled visual experience for sshyp
-    ^ this includes a new entry list, a new entry readout, colored output, ascii art, and more!
-- entries can now optionally be passed as arguments, directly
-    ^ as opposed to the user being prompted for an entry name after running a command
 
-Changes:
+fixes/optimizations:
 
-- corrected outdated licensing and copyright information
+- replaced shebang with "#!/usr/bin/env python3" for improved compatibility with various systems
-- 'if __name__=="__main__":' convention is now used
+    ^ does not affect Haiku packaging
-- help screens have been overhauled
+- fixed the generic package not actually being compressed
-- improved password generator to guarantee more secure results
+- reduced lines of code used for cross-device entry deletion
-- fixed errors when trying to sync with a multi-word entry on the server
-- sshync now uses 'scp' (via the sftp protocol), rather than 'sftp'
-- rename function now properly allows for renaming folders
-- renaming an entry/folder will now properly delete the old entry/folder from the server
-- entry previews at the time of entry creation/editing no longer require entering the gpg password more times than necessary
-- entries will no longer be overwritten if attempting to create a new entry that uses an already existing name
-- the clipboard now automatically clears after 30 seconds
-- sshyp server no longer needs to create copies of its libraries in ~/
-- added more and improved existing exceptions
-- the lock file is now decrypted to /dev/null
-- ...and lots of minor (under the hood) changes!
