+# Changelog
+All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.
+
+The format is based on [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.0.0/),
+and this project does adhere to [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.html).
+
+
+## [1.2.2] – 2026-01-18
+### Changed
+- Update readme
+
+
+## [1.2.1] – 2025-12-03
+### Fixed
+- Soft-fail on unknown social service types. (continue export even if a service field fails)
+- SQL sanitize respects `INNER JOIN`. Fixes an error introduced in v1.1.0 which would prohibit export of contacts with at least one social service.
+
+
+## [1.2.0] – 2025-06-09
+### Added
+- Support for external images (referenced only by id within db)
+- Warning for missing `-wal` & `-shm` files
+- Warning for missing (and hidden) `.AddressBook-v22_SUPPORT` image storage folder
+
+### Removed
+- Warning for missing column `ZSERVICENAME` (column is not that important anyway)
+
+
+## [1.1.1] – 2025-06-09
+### Fixed
+- Escape newline character in x520
+
+
+## [1.1.0] – 2024-01-27
+### Added
+- Multi-file output. Use a formatter string to export each vcard individually.
+
+### Fixed
+- Continue processing of remaining entries if a single contact card fails to process
+- Ignore table columns that do not exist (e.g., `ZTHUMBNAILIMAGEDATA`)
+
+
+## [1.0.1] – 2023-02-21
+### Added
+- Types
+- `abcddb2vcard` is now available on PyPi (`pip3 install abcddb2vcard`, then use `abcddb2vcard` or `vcard2img` in your shell)
+
+### Fixed
+- Crash when processing data fields with no corresponding Contact record

 This python script reads an AddressBook database file (`AddressBook-v22.abcddb`) and export its content to a vCard file (`.vcf`).
 
 I created this script to automate my contacts backup procedure.
-The output of this script should be exactly the same as dragging and dropping the “All Contacts” card.
+The output of this script should be exactly the same as dragging and dropping the "All Contacts" card.
 
 
-### Usage
+## Installation
+
+To install `abcddb2vcard` from [PyPi](https://pypi.org/project/abcddb2vcard/), use `pip`:
 
 ```sh
-python3 abcddb2vcard.py backup/contacts_$(date +"%Y-%m-%d").vcf
+pip install abcddb2vcard
 ```
 
-> assuming db is located at "~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook/AddressBook-v22.abcddb"
+`abcddb2vcard` can then be used from any working directory in the Terminal.
 
-#### Export into individual files
+To uninstall:
 
 ```sh
-python3 abcddb2vcard.py outdir -s 'path/%{fullname}.vcf'
-```
-
-#### Extract contact images
-
-```sh
-python3 vcard2image.py AllContacts.vcf ./profile_pics/
+pip uninstall abcddb2vcard
 ```
 
 
-### Supported data fields
+## Usage
 
-`firstname`, `lastname`, `middlename`, `nameprefix`, `namesuffix`, `nickname`, `maidenname`, `phonetic_firstname`, `phonetic_middlename`, `phonetic_lastname`, `phonetic_organization`, `organization`, `department`, `jobtitle`, `birthday`, `[email]`, `[phone]`, `[address]`, `[socialprofile]`, `note`, `[url]`, `[xmpp-service]`, `image`, `iscompany`
+Export all contacts
+
+```sh
+abcddb2vcard backup/contacts_$(date +"%Y-%m-%d").vcf
+```
+
+Export into individual files
+
+```sh
+abcddb2vcard outdir -s 'path/%{fullname}.vcf'
+```
+
+Extract contact images
+
+```sh
+vcard2img AllContacts.vcf ./profile_pics/
+```
 
 
-### Limitations
+### Usage help
 
-The `image` field currently only supports JPG images.
-I have honestly no idea where PNG images are stored.
-For PNGs the database only stores a UUID instead of the file itself.
-If you happen to know where I can find these, open an issue or pull request.

+                        E.g. "%{id}_%{fullname}.vcf".

+## Limitations
+
+Currently, the `image` field only supports JPG images.
+But as far as I see, Apple converts PNG to JPG before storing the image.
+If you encounter a db which includes other image types, please let me know.
+
+
+## Disclaimer
 
 You should check the output for yourself before using it in a production environment.
 I have tested the script with many arbitrary fields, however there may be some edge cases missing.
 Feel free to create an issue for missing or wrong field values.
 
-**Note:** The output of `diff` or `FileMerge.app` can be different to this output.
-Apples does some weird transformations on vcf export that are not only unnecessary but in many cases break the re-import of the file.
