 All notable changes to Splat Workshop. The format follows [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.1.0/), versions follow [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/).
 
+## [0.6.0] – 2026-10-17
+
+### Added
+
+- **Import your own splats**: *＋ Import a splat …* above the finished scenes turns a splat file from another program into a scene like the others – to copy it to the Frame, make versions or a mesh. Reads `.ply`, `.sog`, `.spz`, `.splat` and `.ksplat` (via splat-transform); the file itself stays where it is. (Asked for in [#2](https://github.com/thunderheronight/splat-workshop/issues/2).)
+  - **Which way is up**: Y down as Spirula Studio, COLMAP and the Frame's own scenes have it (the usual case), Y up or Z up for files from other tools.
+  - **Size**: a factor, e.g. 0.01 for a file in centimetres – a reconstruction from photos has no real scale of its own.
+  - The preview in the Frame's gallery comes from the top view, as for tours.
+  - Only from this PC (the file dialog opens here). Also on the command line: `scripts/import.sh`.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- **The page did not update any more (0.5.1)**: the new footer stood below the page's script; setting up its *Check for updates* link failed, and the rest of the script – among it the regular status updates – never ran. A finished job stayed on "Converting …" with its progress bar until the page was reloaded. A test now checks that everything the script sets up on load is already in the page.
+
+## [0.5.1] – 2026-10-17
+
+### Added
+
+- **A note when a newer version is out**: once a day Splat Workshop asks GitHub for the newest release (one plain request in the background, nothing about you is sent) and shows *Splat Workshop x.y.z is out* at the top, with *What's new* and how to update; *Later* hides it until the next version. `check_updates = false` under `[server]` switches it off. (Asked in [#2](https://github.com/thunderheronight/splat-workshop/issues/2).)
+- **How to update** in the README: `git pull`, restart – config and scenes stay.
+- **Check for updates** by hand: in the tray icon's menu (the answer comes as a notification; a click on it opens what's new) and at the bottom of the page. (Suggested in #2.)
+- **Version and links at the bottom of the page**: which Splat Workshop this is, GitHub, the releases. (Suggested in #2.)
+- **Copying to the Frame shows how far it is**: *Copying to the Frame … 45 % (7 MB of 16 MB)*, measured every 2 seconds on the Frame. Before, it only said that it was copying – a scene of 1 M splats takes a few seconds over Wi-Fi, a big version much longer. (Asked in #2.)
+- **After a mesh, what to do with it**: the finished job and the mesh dialog show the files to **download** – also from a phone or laptop at home – plus **Open in Blender** (when Blender is installed, as a program or the Flatpak from Flathub: the mesh is imported right away, GLB first) and the folder.
+
+## [0.5.0] – 2026-10-16
+
+### Added
+
+- **Mesh export**: *Mesh …* on every scene and tour turns the splats into a surface with Spirula Studio (`spirula mesh`) – for Blender and other 3D programs, or for 3D printing. Formats: **GLB** (recommended: colours or texture in one file), **STL** (no colours, for slicers), **OBJ** (with a texture if possible, otherwise without colours) and **PLY** (colours per corner).
+  - **Stands upright, floor at height 0**: our scenes have Y pointing down like the Steam Frame's tracking, so a mesh used to lie on its side in Blender. Now PLY and STL get Z up, GLB and OBJ Y up as their standard and custom want (Blender turns those into Z up itself on import – checked in Blender 5.2 for every format); the floor – found as for the floor plan – is moved to height 0. In metres.
+  - What lies well outside the room is left out before meshing (as the *Edges* clean-up does) – otherwise big blobs beyond the walls become lumps floating around the room.
+  - A **texture** from the training images when they are still there; after *clean up → training images*, colours per corner from the splats.
+  - The mesh lives in the scene's folder (`mesh/`); a new one replaces the old one. *Mesh ✓* shows which scenes have one.
+  - Also on the command line: `scripts/mesh.sh` and `scripts/upright.py`.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- A versions job with one version said "1 versions".
+
+## [0.4.2] – 2026-10-15
+
+### Fixed
+
+- **Unfolding recordings or versions sometimes did nothing**: every click loaded the whole scene list again, which took about 3 seconds while the Frame was switched off – clicking again in that time folded it back. Now it opens and closes at once, and an expired listing of the Frame is renewed in the background instead of holding up the scene list.
+- **"To the Frame" on a version** could be clicked while the Frame was not reachable; now it is greyed out like the one on the scene.
+
+## [0.4.1] – 2026-10-15
+
+Setup made clearer – thanks to the first two issues from outside (#1, #2).
+
+### Fixed
+
+- **A typo in the config is pointed out**: a setting Splat Workshop does not know – such as `splat-transform =` instead of `splat_transform =` – used to be ignored silently, so splat-transform stayed "not found" without a reason. Now the setup hints name it, with the right spelling. `install.sh` does too.
+- **splat-transform on the shell's PATH only**: `install.sh` checked the PATH of the shell it runs in, but Splat Workshop, started from the desktop or the tray, does not read `.bashrc`/`.zshrc` – the installer said ✓, the app said "not found". Now `install.sh` writes the full path into a new config, or prints the line to add to an existing one; the hint in the app explains why and how.
+- **The npm instructions** in the setup guide installed into a folder whose path did not match the one given for the config. Now: `npm install -g --prefix ~/arcturus/node @playcanvas/splat-transform` (no root needed) and `~/arcturus/node/bin/splat-transform`.
+- **The Arcturus pipeline and PyAV 19** ("unexpected keyword argument 'metadata_errors'"): Splat Workshop now spots a pipeline that is not pinned to PyAV below 19 before you start, and names the cause and the fix when a conversion fails because of it – instead of only a traceback. It does not change the pipeline itself.
+
+## [0.4.0] – 2026-10-15
+
+### Added
+
+- **Clean up a version** (experimental): in the versions dialog, four sliders from *off* to 100 % – the scene itself stays as it is, only the new version is cleaned up, so it can be compared side by side with one without (e.g. *all splats* for the PC).
+  - **Ceiling**: a white ceiling gives the reconstruction nothing to hold on to – it stays thin, with a dark veil under it. Takes out the veil (deeper with more strength; dark things within 50 cm of a wall, like a cupboard top or a bird cage, stay) and what lies above the ceiling, and puts in a closed ceiling in the colour of what there is of it. The ceiling's height is found where walls and ceiling meet. In a real living room: the veil of about 210,000 splats gone, the ceiling closed with 72,000.
+  - **Floor**: fills holes in the floor in the colour of the floor around them, and takes out what lies under it.
+  - **Haze**: takes out big, nearly transparent blobs floating in the room – measured by their *smallest* axis, so long thin things (the bars of a bird cage, cables) are no haze and stay.
+  - **Edges**: takes out what lies well outside the room – beyond the walls, above the ceiling, under the floor.
+  - Also on the command line: `scripts/clean.py`.
+- **The versions dialog, reworked** – by purpose instead of by size: *for the Frame* (one size, each with its frame rate as measured: 0.75 M ≈ 36 fps, 1 M ≈ 35 fps and clearly sharper, 1.5 M ≈ 29 fps, 2 M ≈ 24 fps) or *for the PC* (all splats). One version per click, optionally the same *without cleaning up* next to it to compare. Before making, the dialog shows what it will make – and when that replaces an existing version.
+  - Versions are named by what was cleaned up and how strongly (*all splats · ceiling 50 % · haze 30 %*), so two tries never look alike.
+  - **As template** takes a version's settings into the form: change one slider and make the next.
+  - A cleaned version for the PC keeps its own file for **Spirula Studio** and opens there with one click.
+  - **Versions unfold under their scene or tour** (*▸ 3 versions*), with Spirula, copying to the Frame (with a warning above 2.5 M splats), template and delete.
+  - **Tidier action bars** on scenes and tours: what you do (put together, copy to the Frame) – what you look at (Spirula, floor plan, folder) – what you change (rename, scale, clean up, delete, as icons with tooltips); the unfolding lists (*▸ 3 recordings*, *▸ 1 version* or *＋ Versions …*) on a line of their own. One versions button instead of two.
+  - The PC sizes 3, 5 and 8 M are gone – on the PC all splats is what counts; any other size goes through *own size*.
+- `scripts/freespace.py` (experimental, command line only): takes out splats in space the cameras looked through, from the recordings' sparse models. On a real living room it found only 0.4 % – white walls and ceilings have too few points to tell – but looked a little better; kept for trying.
+
+## [0.3.1] – 2026-10-15
+
+### Fixed
+
+- **Folder names without a dot at the end**: a name like "Tour 12.10." gave the folder `Tour-12.10.`, which Windows file systems (NTFS, e.g. a second disk the runs are moved to) refuse – the copy silently lacked that tour. Now it is `Tour-12.10`. Existing folders keep their names.
+
+## [0.3.0] – 2026-10-15
+
+### Added
+
+- **Rooms made of several recordings**: mark a group as *one room made of several recordings*, e.g. two short rounds through the living room. When it is put together, every part of the room comes from the recording that saw it best. Each recording still gets up to 500 image pairs, so several short recordings give a room far more detail than one long one.
+- **Split a long video**: for a recording longer than its quality preset can use (500 image pairs – 100 s at *High*), Splat Workshop offers *Split the video* or *Convert in one piece*, each with its pros and cons. Split, it suggests as few parts as give the full rate of image pairs, all equally long (a 4-minute recording at *High*: 3 parts of 1:24 with 420 pairs each instead of 2 pairs per second), converts them one after the other and puts them together into one room. The parts are cut losslessly with the original time stamps (the pipeline matches images and poses by time); the original recording is never changed and is needed to cut again, so deleting it asks once more.
+- **A home made of rooms**: a group may hold such rooms next to single scenes. Putting it together always starts from the original recordings in one go, each in its room: within a room every part from the best recording, between rooms the borders run through the doors as before. Nothing is reduced twice. The floor plan names and measures rooms instead of recordings, and the scale of a home reaches its rooms and their recordings.
+
+- **Standby when done**: a checkbox on the running job. When everything is finished – also the following parts of a long recording, putting them together and copying to the Frame – the PC goes to standby after a minute's notice (a notification says so; untick to stop it). Cancelling a job switches it off: someone is there. If the standby is refused (e.g. another program keeps the PC awake), a notification says why.
+- **One brightness for all recordings**: every training settles on its own brightness, so the same wall could come out a third darker in one recording than in the next. Putting them together now brings all recordings to one brightness per colour channel, from the places they share (`COLOUR=keep` for combine.sh leaves them as they are). The factors are in combine.json.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- **Dark holes where a recording had nothing**: a place went to the recording whose cameras looked at it from close by, even when its training had left next to nothing there (seen from behind furniture, too dark …). Now a place only goes to a recording that has at least a quarter of what the richest one has there (compared over the place and its neighbours). In a real living room of three parts, the places left thin dropped from 8.5 % to 1.9 %.
+- **Kept awake between jobs**: every job keeps the PC awake while it runs, but between two of them (the parts of a long recording, then putting them together) there were a few seconds without – enough for the desktop to suspend a PC that has been idle for hours. Splat Workshop now holds one lock of its own for all of it, until a little after the last job.
+- **A renamed room** gets its floor plan and preview images drawn again with the new name (before: the old name until it was put together again).
+- Two rooms of the same name in a home are told apart as "Kitchen" and "Kitchen (2)" (was "Kitchen ·").
+- The dialog for putting a room together explains rooms, not tours.
+- A part of a long recording that failed or was cancelled keeps its piece of video for resuming; deleting the unfinished run now deletes that piece too (it is as big as that stretch of the recording and was in no list).
+- Recordings of the same room no longer count as "walking in" to each other. Before, two overlapping recordings could hide the real walk-in of another room, which then claimed part of the room.

+# Notes for working on Splat Workshop
+
+## Releasing – every release, also a patch
+
+1. Only with the maintainer's explicit OK for each step: push, tag, GitHub release, editing release notes.
+2. `VERSION` in `splat_workshop/server.py`, a `## [x.y.z] – date` section and the compare link in `CHANGELOG.md`.
+3. Tests green locally and in GitHub Actions before tagging.
+4. **Release notes always have this shape** (a patch release too – people who only read the latest
+   release must still see what the series brought):
+   - one bold line: what the series is about, plus what this release adds;
+   - the screenshot (`docs/groups.png`, example data only);
+   - `## Highlights of x.y` – the highlights of the whole minor series, copied from the `x.y.0` release;
+   - a link to the `x.y.0` release for all details;
+   - `## New in x.y.z` – what this release adds or fixes (for `x.y.0` itself: `## New in x.y`);
+   - `**Full changelog:**` compare link to the previous tag.
+   Check the finished notes against this list before publishing.
+
+## Tests
+
+`uv run --no-project --with pytest --with numpy --with scipy --with pillow pytest`
+
+Expectations come from how the synthetic data is built (`tests/synth.py`), not from the code. Tests must
+never touch real data, the Frame or this PC's power state (`systemctl`, `ssh`, `notify-send` are faked).
+
+## Running scripts
+
+`splat.sh`, `to-frame.sh`, `combine.sh`, `versions.sh` run as one `{ … exit; }` block; still, never edit
+one in place while a job uses it – write a new file and `mv` it over.
+
+## File systems
+
+Runs may live on NTFS: no folder or file name may end with a dot or contain `:`; git there needs
+`core.fileMode false`. With that, git does not see the executable bit: a new shell script needs
+`git update-index --chmod=+x scripts/<name>.sh`, or it is not executable in CI and fresh clones.

+- 🚪 **Räume aus mehreren Aufnahmen** – eine Gruppe als *Ein Raum aus mehreren Aufnahmen* markieren, z. B. zwei kurze Runden durchs Wohnzimmer. Beim Zusammensetzen kommt jeder Teil des Raums aus der Aufnahme, die ihn am besten gesehen hat. Die Arcturus-Pipeline nimmt höchstens 500 Bildpaare pro Aufnahme – mehrere kurze Aufnahmen geben einem Raum also deutlich mehr Detail als eine lange.
+- ✂️ **Lange Videos aufteilen** – bei langen Aufnahmen bietet die Werkstatt *Video aufteilen* (volle Detailtiefe, dauert länger) oder *Video nicht aufteilen* (schneller, weniger Bildpaare pro Sekunde) an. Aufgeteilt werden die Teile nacheinander umgewandelt und von selbst zu einem Raum. Die Original-Aufnahme bleibt unverändert.
+- 🏠 **Eine Wohnung aus Räumen** – eine Gruppe darf solche Räume neben einzelnen Szenen enthalten. Zusammengesetzt wird in einem Durchgang aus den Original-Aufnahmen: innerhalb eines Raums jeder Teil aus der besten Aufnahme, zwischen den Räumen laufen die Grenzen durch die Türen. Nichts wird doppelt ausgedünnt; der Grundriss benennt und misst Räume statt Aufnahmen.
+- 🧩 **Bessere Übergänge zwischen Aufnahmen** – eine Stelle kommt nur noch von einer Aufnahme, die dort wirklich etwas hat (keine dunklen Löcher mehr, wo eine Kamera „von hinter dem Sofa“ hingeschaut hat), und alle Aufnahmen werden auf eine Helligkeit gebracht: Jedes Training landet bei seiner eigenen, im selben Raum bis zu einem Drittel auseinander.
+- 💤 **Danach in den Standby** – am laufenden Job anhaken: Wenn alles fertig ist (alle Teile, das Zusammensetzen, das Kopieren auf die Frame), geht der PC nach einer Minute Vorwarnung in den Standby. Bis dahin bleibt er wach, auch in den Sekunden zwischen zwei Jobs.
+- 🐛 **Behoben**: Aufnahmen desselben Raums gelten nicht mehr gegenseitig als „Weg hinein“ – vorher konnten sie den echten Weg aus einem anderen Raum verdecken, der sich dann einen Teil des Raums nahm.

 - Viel Licht (Tageslicht plus Raumlicht), **HDR mit 30 fps** in der Kamera-App, nicht „Linear“.
 - **Räume**: 30–90 s pro Raum, langsam gehen und langsam drehen, Dinge von mehreren Seiten zeigen.
+- **Große Räume**: Die Pipeline nimmt höchstens 500 Bildpaare pro Aufnahme – bei 5 pro Sekunde (*Hoch*) ist das nach 100 s erreicht, eine 4-Minuten-Aufnahme bekommt nur noch 2 pro Sekunde. Bei einer langen Aufnahme beim Start *Video aufteilen* wählen – oder zwei oder drei kürzere Aufnahmen eines großen Raums in einem Durchgang machen und sie als *Ein Raum aus mehreren Aufnahmen* gruppieren.
 - **Gegenstände**: langsam im Kreis darum herumgehen (15–40 s), Motiv in der Bildmitte halten.

+- 🚪 **Rooms made of several recordings** – mark a group as *one room made of several recordings*, e.g. two short rounds through the living room. When put together, every part of the room comes from the recording that saw it best. The Arcturus pipeline uses at most 500 image pairs per recording, so several short recordings give a room far more detail than one long one.
+- ✂️ **Split a long video** – for long recordings Splat Workshop offers *Split the video* (full detail, takes longer) or *Convert in one piece* (sooner, fewer image pairs per second). Split, the parts are converted one after the other and become one room by themselves. The original recording stays untouched.
+- 🏠 **A home made of rooms** – a group may hold such rooms next to single scenes. It is put together from the original recordings in one go: within a room every part from the best recording, between rooms the borders run through the doors. Nothing is reduced twice; the floor plan names and measures rooms instead of recordings.
+- 🧩 **Better seams between recordings** – a place only comes from a recording that really has something there (no more dark holes where a camera “looked at” a spot from behind the sofa), and all recordings are brought to one brightness: every training settles on its own, up to a third apart in the same room.

+"""Clean up a finished scene or room: the things a reconstruction of a real room tends to get wrong.
+
+Usage: uv run clean.py <in.ply> <out.ply> [--ceiling S] [--floor S] [--haze S] [--outside S]
+
+Every strength S runs from 0 (off) to 1 (strongest). The room is found as for the floor plan (walls 0.9 to
+1.9 m above the floor, turned to them; Y points down).
+  --ceiling  A white ceiling has no texture: the reconstruction finds nothing to hold on to, leaves the
+             ceiling thin and hangs a dark veil under it. Takes out the veil (dark or thin splats from
+             10 cm to 60 cm under the ceiling – how deep grows with S; dark but solid things like a cupboard
+             top or a bird cage stay if they are within 50 cm of a wall) and everything above the ceiling
+             (found where walls and ceiling meet), and puts in a closed ceiling in the colour of what there
+             is of it nearby.
+  --floor    Fills holes in the floor (where the floor itself has too little: more with S) in the colour of
+             the floor nearby, and takes out what lies under it.
+  --haze     Takes out big, nearly transparent blobs floating in the room. Measured by their *smallest*
+             axis: long thin splats (wires, bars of a cage, cables) are no haze. More with S.
+  --outside  Takes out what lies well outside the room (beyond the walls, above the ceiling, under the
+             floor): from 1 m beyond it (S near 0) to 30 cm (S = 1).
+Prints what it did; the input is never changed.
