+## [0.5.3] - 2024-10-18
+This patch resolves a critical issue which could cause user's save data to become corrupted. It is recommended that users switch to this version immediately and avoid using version 0.5.2.
+### Fixed
+- Fixed a critical issue in which the Stage Editor theme value could not be parsed by older versions of the game, resulting in all save data being destroyed.
+  - Added a check that prevents save data from being loaded if it is corrupted rather than overriding it.
+- `optionsChartEditor.chartEditorLiveInputStyle` in the save data converted from an Enum to a String to fix save data compatibility issues.
+- `optionsStageEditor.theme` in the save data converted from an Enum to a String to fix save data compatibility issues.
+  - In the future, Enum values should not be used in order to prevent incompatibilities caused by introducing new types to the save data that older versions cannot parse.
+- Fixed an issue where some publicly distributed release builds of the game were not updated to the latest version.
+
+
+## [0.5.2] - 2024-10-11

-# QUICK AND DIRTY MOD GUIDE
-
-With the 0.2.6 update, I added a bit of a slightly nicer mod support backend.
-
-It's POLYMOD, which is made by Lars Doucet: https://github.com/larsiusprime/polymod
-
-You may have noticed that there's a new folder in the assets. MODS. Within it you will see 2 files. modList.txt, and a folder called introMod.
-modList.txt will load any folder into the game. Put the folder you want to load into a new line in modList.txt, and reboot the game.
-
-Now you may be wondering, what do I put in the folder? Well later down it'll get a bit more complicated, especially as I'll make the IN-GAME mod loader nicer.

+# Troubleshooting

- During the cloning process, you may experience an error along the lines of `error: RPC failed; curl 92 HTTP/2 stream 0 was not closed cleanly: PROTOCOL_ERROR (err 1)` due to poor connectivity. A common fix is to run ` git config --global http.postBuffer 4096M`.
- Make sure your game directory has an `assets` folder! If it's missing, copy the path to your `funkin` folder and run `cd the\path\you\copied`. Then follow the guide starting from **Step 4**.
- Check that your `assets` folder is not empty! If it is, go back to **Step 4** and follow the guide from there.
- The compilation process often fails due to having the wrong versions of the required libraries. Many errors can be resolved by deleting the `.haxelib` folder and following the guide starting from **Step 5**.
+If you experience any issues during the compilation process, DO NOT open an issue on GitHub. Instead, check the [Troubleshooting Guide](TROUBLESHOOTING.md) for steps on how to resolve common problems.

+## [1.0.3]
+### Added
+- Added the `color` attribute on stage props to tint them.
+- Added the `blend` attribute on stage props to apply blend modes.
+- Added the `angle` attribute on stage props to apply a rotation to them.
+
+## [1.0.2]
+### Added
+- Added the ability to specify `flipX` and `flipY` on stage props to horizontally or vertically flip, respectively.
+
 ## [1.0.1]
 ### Added
 - Added the ability to specify a hexadecimal color in the `assetPath` field instead of a texture key.

 and this project adheres to [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.html).

+## [2.1.0] - 2024-10-18
+This version introduces changes to save data loading in order to improve compatibility with older versions.
+### Changed
+- `optionsStageEditor.theme` converted from an Enum to a String to fix save data compatibility issues.
+  - In the future, Enum values should not be used in order to prevent incompatibilities caused by introducing new types to the save data that older versions cannot parse.
+- `optionsChartEditor.theme` converted from an Enum to a String to fix save data compatibility issues.
+- `optionsChartEditor.chartEditorLiveInputStyle` converted from an Enum to a String to fix save data compatibility issues.
+
+## [2.0.6] - 2024-10-11
+### Added
+- `optionsStageEditor` to `Save` for storing user preferences for the stage editor.
+
 ## [2.0.5] - 2024-05-21
 ### Fixed
 - Resolved an issue where HTML5 wouldn't store the semantic version properly, causing the game to fail to load the save.

 ## [2.0.4] - 2024-05-21
 ### Added
+- `unlocks.charactersSeen:Array<String>` to `Save`
+- `unlocks.oldChar:Bool` to `Save`
 - `favoriteSongs:Array<String>` to `Save`
