+
+## Project Overview
+
+TWBlue is an accessible desktop Mastodon client for Windows, built with Python 3.10 and wxPython. It provides two specialized interfaces optimized for screen reader users to interact with Mastodon instances. The application emphasizes accessibility-first design with keyboard navigation, audio feedback, and screen reader integration.
+
+## Development Commands
+
+### Running from Source
+```bash
+cd src
+python main.py
+```
+
+For development from source, VLC dependencies are loaded from `../windows-dependencies/{arch}/` where arch is x86 or x64.
+
+### Installing Dependencies
+```bash
+# Install all Python dependencies
+pip install -r requirements.txt
+
+# Initialize git submodules for Windows dependencies
+git submodule init
+git submodule update

+python documentation_importer.py
+python generator.py
+# Copy generated language folders to src/documentation/
+# Copy license.txt to src/documentation/
+```
+
+### Translation Management
+```bash
+# Extract translation strings (from doc/ directory)
+pybabel extract -o twblue.pot --msgid-bugs-address "manuel@manuelcortez.net" --copyright-holder "MCV software" --input-dirs ../src
+
+# Note: Translations managed via Weblate at https://weblate.mcvsoftware.com
+```
+
+## Architecture Overview
+
+TWBlue follows an MVC architecture with distinct separation between data access (Sessions), business logic (Controllers), and presentation (wxUI).
+
+### Core Components
+
+#### 1. Session Layer (`src/sessions/`)
+Sessions represent authenticated connections to Mastodon instances. They manage API interactions, OAuth2 authentication, and persistent data storage.
+
+- **Base Session** (`sessions/base.py`): Abstract base class with configuration management, SQLiteDict persistence, and decorators for login/configuration checks
+- **Mastodon Session** (`sessions/mastodon/session.py`): Implements Mastodon.py API wrapper, OAuth2 flow, and account credential management
+- **Streaming** (`sessions/mastodon/streaming.py`): Real-time event listener that publishes to pub/sub system
+
+Key patterns:
+- Sessions use `@_require_login` and `@_require_configuration` decorators
+- Configuration files stored as INI format via configobj in `config/{session_id}/session.conf`
+- Persistent data (caches, user lists) stored in `config/{session_id}/cache.db` using SQLiteDict
+- Each session has its own sound system instance
+
+#### 2. Buffer System (`src/controller/buffers/`)
+Buffers are the primary data structures for displaying social media content (timelines, mentions, notifications, conversations, etc.).
+
+**Base Buffer** (`controller/buffers/base/base.py`):
+- Links buffer UI (wxPanel) with session (API access) and compose functions (data rendering)
+- Handles keyboard events (F5/F6 for volume, Delete for item removal, Return for URLs)
+- Manages periodic updates via `start_stream()` function
+- Each buffer has a `compose_function` that formats API data for display
+
+**Mastodon Buffers** (`controller/buffers/mastodon/`):
+- `base.py`: Mastodon-specific base buffer with timeline pagination
+- `users.py`: Home timeline, mentions buffer
+- `community.py`: Local/federated timelines
+- `notifications.py`: System notifications
+- `conversations.py`: Direct message threads
+- `search.py`: Search results
+
+Buffer lifecycle:
+1. Created by mainController when session initializes
+2. Added to view (wx.Treebook)
+3. Periodically updated via `start_stream()` or real-time via pub/sub events
+4. Destroyed when session ends or buffer removed
+
+#### 3. Controller Layer (`src/controller/`)
+Controllers orchestrate application logic and coordinate between sessions, buffers, and UI.
+
+**Main Controller** (`controller/mainController.py`):
+- Manages all active buffers and sessions
+- Binds keyboard shortcuts to actions
+- Handles pub/sub event subscriptions
+- Periodically calls `start_stream()` on visible buffers
+- Provides buffer search methods: `search_buffer()`, `get_current_buffer()`, `get_best_buffer()`
+
+**Specialized Controllers**:
+- `settings.py`: Settings dialog management
+- `userAlias.py` / `userList.py`: User management features
+- `mastodon/handler.py`: Mastodon-specific operations (filters, etc.)
+
+#### 4. GUI Layer (`src/wxUI/`)
+wxPython-based interface with menu-driven navigation and list controls.
+
+- **Main Frame** (`wxUI/view.py`): Primary window with wx.Treebook for buffers, menu system, system tray integration
+- **Buffer Panels** (`wxUI/buffers/`): Panel implementations for each buffer type
+- **Dialogs** (`wxUI/dialogs/`): Post composition, settings, user profiles, filters
+
+#### 5. Pub/Sub Event System
+Decoupled communication using PyPubSub 4.0.3.
+
+Key events:
+- `mastodon.status_received`: New post received via streaming
+- `mastodon.status_updated`: Post edited
+- `mastodon.notification_received`: New notification
+- `mastodon.conversation_received`: New DM
+
+Event flow:
+1. Streaming listener receives API event
+2. Publishes to topic via `pub.sendMessage()`
+3. mainController subscribes to topics and routes to appropriate buffer
+4. Buffer updates its display
+
+#### 6. Session Manager (`src/sessionmanager/`)
+Manages session lifecycle (creation, configuration, activation, deletion).
+
+- `sessionManager.py`: UI for managing multiple accounts
+- `manager.py`: Persists session list to global config
+- Handles OAuth2 authorization flow for new accounts
+- Loads saved sessions on startup
+
+#### 7. Configuration System (`src/config.py`, `src/config_utils.py`)
+Hierarchical configuration with defaults and user overrides.
+
+- Global config: `config/app-configuration.conf` (defaults in `src/app-configuration.defaults`)
+- Session configs: `config/{session_id}/session.conf` (defaults in `src/mastodon.defaults`)
+- Keymaps in `src/keymaps/`
+- Sound packs in `src/sounds/`
+
+**Path Management** (`src/paths.py`):
+- Portable mode: Config/logs in application directory
+- Installed mode: Config/logs in AppData
+- Detects installation by presence of `Uninstall.exe`
+
+#### 8. Accessibility Features
+Built for screen reader users from the ground up.
+
+- `accessible_output2`: Multi-screen reader support (NVDA, JAWS, SAPI, etc.)
+- `sound_lib`: Accessible audio playback with spatial audio
+- `platform_utils`: OS-specific accessibility hooks
+- `output.py`: Unified interface for speech output
+- `sound.py`: Sound system with volume control and sound pack management
+
+#### 9. Keyboard Handling (`src/keyboard_handler/`)
+Cross-platform keyboard input with global hotkey support.
+
+- `wx_handler.py`: wxPython integration
+- `global_handler.py`: System-wide hotkeys
+- Platform implementations: `windows.py`, `osx.py`, `linux.py`
+- `keystrokeEditor/`: UI for customizing shortcuts
+
+### Application Initialization Flow
+
+From `src/main.py`:
+1. Setup logging to temp directory, then move to permanent location
+2. Initialize language handler
+3. Load global configuration
+4. Setup sound system
+5. Setup accessibility output
+6. Initialize session manager
+7. Load saved sessions or prompt for account creation
+8. Create main controller
+9. Start main event loop
+
+### Data Flow Patterns
+
+#### Real-time Update Flow
+```
+Mastodon Streaming API
+  → sessions/mastodon/streaming.py (StreamListener)
+  → pub.sendMessage("mastodon.status_received", ...)
+  → controller/mainController.py (subscriber)
+  → buffer.add_new_item()
+  → compose_function(item)
+  → wxUI update
+```
+
+#### User Action Flow
+```
+Keyboard input
+  → wx event handler
+  → buffer.get_event()
+  → buffer action method (e.g., open_status())
+  → session.api_call()
+  → UI update or pub/sub event
+```
+
+#### Periodic Update Flow
+```
+RepeatingTimer (every N seconds)
+  → mainController calls buffer.start_stream()
+  → session.get_timeline_data()
+  → buffer.put_items_on_list()
+  → compose_function for each item
+  → wxUI list control update
+```
+
+## Key Design Patterns and Conventions
+
+### Compose Functions
+Buffers use compose functions to render API objects as user-readable strings. Located in `sessions/mastodon/compose.py`:
+
+```python
+compose_function(item, db, relative_times, show_screen_names=False, session=None)
+# Returns a string representation of the item for display
+```
+
+### Session Decorators
+Sessions use decorators to enforce prerequisites:
+
+```python
+@baseSession._require_login
+def post_status(self, text):
+    # Only executes if self.logged == True
+    pass
+
+@baseSession._require_configuration
+def get_timeline(self):
+    # Only executes if self.settings != None
+    pass
+```
+
+### Buffer Naming Convention
+Buffers have both a `name` (internal identifier) and `account` (associated username):
+- `name`: e.g., "home_timeline", "mentions", "notifications"
+- `account`: e.g., "user@mastodon.social"
+- Buffers are uniquely identified by (name, account) tuple
+
+### Configuration Hierarchy
+1. Default values in `src/*.defaults` files
+2. User overrides in `config/*.conf` files
+3. Runtime modifications via settings dialogs
+4. Written back to user config files on change
+
+## Important Caveats
+
+### Platform-Specific Code
+- VLC paths must be set via environment variables when running from source (see `main.py`)
+- Windows-specific: pywin32, win-inet-pton, winpaths dependencies
+- Accessibility output works best on Windows with NVDA/JAWS
+
+### Threading and Event Handling
+- API calls often wrapped in `call_threaded()` to avoid blocking UI
+- Streaming runs in background thread and publishes to main thread via pub/sub
+- wx events must be handled on main thread
+
+### Session Lifecycle
+- Sessions must be logged in before buffer creation
+- Buffers maintain references to sessions via `self.session`
+- Destroying a session should destroy all associated buffers
+- Session settings auto-save on write via `settings.write()`
+
+### Buffer Visibility
+- Buffers have `invisible` flag for internal/system buffers
+- Main controller distinguishes between visible buffers (shown in tree) and invisible buffers (used for data access)
+- Empty buffers serve as account placeholders in tree structure
+
+### Logging and Debugging
+- Logs written to temp directory on startup, then moved to permanent location
+- Binary builds redirect stdout/stderr to `logs/` directory
+- Source builds use console output
+- Use `logging.getLogger("module.name")` pattern throughout
+
+## Build System Details
+
+### cx_Freeze Configuration (`src/setup.py`)
+- Target: Win32GUI (suppresses console window)
+- Includes: keymaps, locales, sounds, documentation, icon, config defaults
+- Architecture-specific: Loads x86 or x64 dependencies from windows-dependencies submodule
+- Special handling for enchant dictionaries, VLC plugins, VC++ redistributables
+
+### NSIS Installer (`scripts/twblue.nsi`)
+- Expects binary distribution in `scripts/twblue64/`
+- Creates Start Menu shortcuts, Desktop shortcut (optional)
+- Registers uninstaller
+- Checks for running instances before install/uninstall
+
+### CI/CD (`.github/workflows/release.yml`)
+- Triggers on version tags (v20*)
+- Builds on Windows-latest with Python 3.10
+- Creates both installer (EXE) and portable (ZIP) distributions
+- Uploads to GitHub releases
+
+## Mastodon API Integration
+
+### Authentication
+OAuth2 flow implemented in `sessions/mastodon/session.py`:
+1. Create application credentials for instance
+2. Request OAuth authorization URL
+3. User authorizes in browser
+4. Exchange code for access token
+5. Store credentials in session config
+
+### API Client
+Uses Mastodon.py 2.1.4 library:
+- Instance created with base URL and access token
+- Methods: `status_post()`, `timeline()`, `account()`, etc.
+- Rate limiting handled by library
+- Supports multiple instances simultaneously
+
+### Streaming API
+Real-time updates via `sessions/mastodon/streaming.py`:
+- Inherits from `Mastodon.StreamListener`
+- Connects to user, public, or hashtag streams
+- Runs in background thread
+- Events published to main thread via pub/sub
+
+## Localization
+
+TWBlue supports 23 languages:
+- Translation files in `src/locales/{lang}/LC_MESSAGES/twblue.mo`
+- Uses gettext with `_()` function throughout codebase
+- Language selection in settings, stored in global config
+- Babel for extraction and compilation
+- Weblate for translation management

 TWBlue Changelog
 
+## Changes in version 2024.X.X (Upcoming - ATProtoSocial Integration)
+
+This version introduces comprehensive support for the AT Protocol (ATProto), enabling users to connect to and interact with Bluesky accounts.
+
+* Core:
+    * **New Protocol Support**: Added ATProtoSocial (Bluesky) as a new session type.
+    * **Session Management**: Users can add Bluesky accounts using their handle and an App Password. Includes session creation, loading, and management through the Session Manager.
+    * **UI Adaptation**:
+        * Menus (e.g., "Post", "User Actions") dynamically update labels and available actions based on whether an ATProtoSocial session is active (e.g., "Tweet" becomes "Post", "Retweet" becomes "Repost", "Favorite" becomes "Like").
+        * New compose dialog (`src/wxUI/dialogs/composeDialog.py`) created to be more generic and configurable by session type, supporting features like character limits, media attachments (images with alt text), language selection, content warnings, and quoting specific to Bluesky.
+        * New user profile dialog (`src/wxUI/dialogs/atprotosocial/showUserProfile.py`) for displaying Bluesky user details and performing actions.
+        * New UI panels (`src/wxUI/buffers/atprotosocial/panels.py`) for displaying Home timelines, User timelines, Notifications, and User Lists (Followers/Following) for Bluesky.
+* ATProtoSocial (Bluesky) Features:
+    * **Authentication**: Secure login using user handle and App Passwords.
+    * **Posting**:
+        * Create posts (skeets) with text.
+        * Attach images (up to 4, with alt text).
+        * Specify post language(s).
+        * Add content warnings (sensitive content labels).
+        * Quote other posts.
+        * Reply to posts.
+    * **Timelines**:
+        * View Home timeline (posts from followed users), with support for loading newer and older posts.
+        * View other users' timelines (their posts and replies).
+    * **Notifications**:
+        * Fetch and display notifications for likes, reposts, follows, mentions, replies, and quotes.
+        * Notifications are displayed in a dedicated buffer and trigger desktop alerts.
+    * **User Actions**:
+        * View user profiles (display name, handle, bio, counts, etc.).
+        * Follow / Unfollow users.
+        * Mute / Unmute users.
+        * Block / Unblock users.
+    * **User Interaction**:
+        * Like / Unlike posts.
+        * Repost / Unrepost posts (Unrepost might be deleting the repost record).
+    * **User Discovery**:
+        * Search for users by handle or display name.
+        * View lists of followers and accounts a user is following.
+    * **Content Display**:
+        * Posts are formatted for display, showing author, text, timestamp, embedded media (images, quotes, external links with placeholders), reply/repost/like counts, and CWs.
+        * Notifications are formatted for display in their buffer.
+* Developer / Internal:
+    * New session module: `sessions.atprotosocial` (Session, Utils, Compose, Streaming placeholders).
+    * New controller module: `controller.atprotosocial` (Handler, UserList, etc.).
+    * Extensive use of the `atproto` Python SDK for Bluesky API interactions.
+
 ## changes in this version
 
+* Core:
+    * Expanded the keystroke editor actions list. Now, many previously hidden or unassignable actions are available to be mapped to custom keyboard shortcuts.
+* Mastodon:
+    * Added support for sending quoted posts! You can now quote other users' posts from the context menu or the new Boost dialog. ([#860](https://github.com/mcv-software/twblue/issues/860))
+    * Fixed an issue where HTML entities were not decoded when editing a post. ([#893](https://github.com/mcv-software/twblue/issues/893))
+
+## Changes in version 2026.01.13
+
+In this version, we have focused on expanding content management capabilities within Mastodon. It is now possible to edit sent posts and schedule them for future publication. Additionally, support for reading quoted posts has been implemented, and a new buffer for server announcements is available. On the Core side, visual stability has been prioritized to ensure proper window display, along with an expansion of keyboard shortcuts.
+
+* Core:
+    * Fixed a critical issue where buffers were not visible on screen in certain configurations. Now the main window maximizes correctly and visual fixes have been applied to ensure content is accessible. ([#886](https://github.com/mcv-software/twblue/issues/886))
+    * Keyboard shortcut improvements: Several shortcuts have been added and fixed to improve efficiency and avoid conflicts:
+        * New shortcuts for the autocomplete users manager and menu bar items. ([#842](https://github.com/mcv-software/twblue/issues/842))
+        * Added a shortcut for the "Restore Template" button in the template editor dialog. ([#841](https://github.com/mcv-software/twblue/issues/841))
+        * New shortcuts for user list and poll dialogs.
+        * Resolved a conflict with the 's' key shortcut used for seeking media.
+        * Updated the shortcut for marking an account as a "Bot" to avoid conflict with the biography field.
+* Mastodon:
+    * **Post Editing:** It is finally possible to edit Mastodon posts from TWBlue! You can now correct errors in your posts. ([#859](https://github.com/mcv-software/twblue/issues/859))
+        * Safety warning: if you edit a post containing a poll, votes will be reset.
+        * Polls are now correctly displayed as attachments within the edit dialog.
+    * **Scheduled Posts:** It is now possible to schedule your posts to be published at a later time!
+        * Added a "Schedule post" checkbox to the post dialog with date and time pickers.
+        * Implemented validation to ensure posts are scheduled at least 5 minutes in the future, as required by Mastodon.
+        * The default time is automatically set to 6 minutes in the future for convenience.
+    * **Quoted Posts:** Significantly improved the reading and display of quoted posts. TWBlue now structures and reads this content more clearly. ([#860](https://github.com/mcv-software/twblue/issues/860))
+    * **Content Cleaning:** Implemented a more robust HTML filter to remove junk elements or unnecessary CSS classes from post text, offering a cleaner reading experience.
+    * **Mute Conversation:** Enhanced the "Mute Conversation" feature.
+        * Posts from muted conversations will now be visually hidden from the Home timeline immediately upon muting, ensuring a cleaner experience.
+        * Added a new invisible shortcut to toggle mute on the focused conversation: `Alt+Windows+Shift+Delete` (Default) or `Control+Alt+Windows+Backspace` (Windows 10/11).
+        * The action is also available in the context menu of the post.
+    * **Announcements:** Added support for viewing server announcements.
+        * New dedicated buffer for "Announcements" where you can read instance-wide news.
+        * Added ability to dismiss (mark as read) announcements directly from the buffer.
+
+## Changes in version 2025.3.8
+
+In this version, we have focused on providing initial support for Mastodon filters and pinned posts. From TWBlue, it is now possible to initially use filters for posts in most buffers, as well as manage them (create, edit, and delete filters, in addition to adding keywords). A new variable has also been added for post templates in the invisible interface that allows displaying whether a post has been pinned by its author.
+
+* Mastodon:
+    * Added filters support to TWBlue. Filters are only implemented in posts for the moment. TWBlue will, depending in the selected settings, hide behind a content warning or completely ignore a post based on filters. Also it is possible to add, delete or edit filters from the buffer menu in the menu bar.
+    * A language selector has been added for posting in TWBlue. It is now possible to choose the language in which a post will be made, which will be useful for content filtering and other language-dependent features. The default language can be chosen based on your Mastodon account’s language, the language of the post you’re replying to, or, if no automatic selection is possible, TWBlue’s own language will be used by default.
+    * TWBlue now supports announcing (via a new template variable for posts) pinned posts. You can edit your posts template and use the $pinned variable. When reading the post, TWBlue will indicate if the post is pinned. Also, when loading an user timeline, pinned posts will be loaded at the top or bottom of the buffer according to local settings.
+    * TWBlue should be able to display all posts in the post displayer dialog.
+    * reading long posts in the graphical user interface should work better.
+
+## Changes in version 2024.5.23
+
+* Core:
+    * The way sessions are named has been changed. Now the account is indicated first, followed by the social network it belongs to.
+    * An option has been added to the global options dialog that allows for the reading of long posts in the graphical interface. This is especially useful since, by default, the graphical interface can only display a limited number of characters in the post.
+    * Some options that are no longer necessary in the application have been removed from the global settings dialog.
+* Mastodon:
+    * fixed an error that caused TWBlue to not display some posts correctly.
+    * Fixed name for community timelines when created during startup. Now it should be clear if it's a federated or local timeline.
+    * Defined shortcuts to fields on the update profile dialog so it will be easier to navigate.
+    * Now it is possible to load conversations directly from community timelines.
+
+## Changes in version 2024.5.19
+
+In this version of TWBlue, which is being released several months after the previous one, we focused on adding initial support for GoToSocial-type networks. GoToSocial is a server for creating decentralized networks similar to Mastodon. Its API is very similar but retains some differences. In this version, TWBlue can be used to log into GoToSocial accounts, although there will be some features, such as the Streaming API and Markdown support, that are not yet functional. Another significant addition is support for creating community timelines, which will allow you to load the local and public timeline of remote instances. This is useful if your instance does not federate directly with them, as it will allow you to see posts from other communities and interact directly with them. Finally, the translation module has been rewritten; it now supports using LibreTranslate by default and DeepL, for which an API key is required. Below is the detailed list of changes:
+
+* Core:
+    * Added Initial Support to GoToSocial. Some features are not fully implemented yet, although GoToXocial instances should be able to be used as normal sessions in TWBlue. Streaming, poll options and markdown are not supported but planned for the near future.
+    * The translation module has been rewritten. Now, instead of offering translations with Google Translator, the user can choose between [LibreTranslate,](https://github.com/LibreTranslate/LibreTranslate) which requires no configuration thanks to the [instance of the NVDA Spanish community;](https://translate.nvda.es) or translate using [DeepL,](https://deepl.com) for which it is necessary to create an account on DeepL and [subscribe to a DeepL API Free plan](https://support.deepl.com/hc/en-us/articles/360021200939-DeepL-API-Free) to obtain the API key which can be used to translate up to 500000 characters every month. The API key can be entered in the global options dialog, under a new tab called translation services. When translating a text, the translation engine can be changed. When changing the translation engine, the target language must be selected again before translation takes place.
+    * TWBlue should be able to switch to Windows 11 Keymap when running under Windows 11. ([#494](https://github.com/mcv-software/twblue/issues/494))
+* Mastodon:
+    * Added support for viewing communities: A community timeline is the local or public timeline of another instance. This is especially useful when the instance one is part of does not federate with other remote instances. The posts displayed are only those that are shared publicly. It is possible to interact with the posts from community timelines, but it should be noted that TWBlue will take some time to retrieve the post one wishes to interact with.
+    * When viewing a post, a button displays the number of boosts and times it has been added to favorites. Clicking on that button will open a list of users who have interacted with the post. From that list, it is possible to view profiles and perform common user actions.
+    * Now it is possible to mute conversations in Mastodon sessions. To do this, there is a button that can be called "Mute" or "Unmute Conversation" in the dialog to display the post. Conversations that have been muted will not generate notifications or mentions when they receive new replies. Only conversations that you are a part of can be muted.
+    * Fixed an error that caused TWBlue to be unable to properly display the user action dialog from the followers or following buffer. ([#575](https://github.com/mcv-software/twblue/issues/575))
+
+## changes in version 2024.01.05
+
 * Core:
     * The TWBlue website will no longer be available on the twblue.es domain. Beginning in January 2024, TWBlue will live at https://twblue.mcvsoftware.com. Also, we will start releasing versions on [gitHub releases](https://github.com/mcv-software/twblue/releases) so it will be easier to track specific versions.
     * As of the first release of TWBlue in 2024, we will officially stop generating 32-bit (X86) compatible binaries due to the increasing difficulty of generating versions compatible with this architecture in modern Python.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+When using the Blueski (Bluesky) integration, you might encounter these terms:
+
+*   **Handle**: Your user-facing address on Bluesky (e.g., ``@username.bsky.social`` or a custom domain like ``@yourname.com``). This is what you use to log in with an App Password in TWBlue. Handles can be changed, but your DID remains the same.
+*   **App Password**: A specific password you generate within your Bluesky account settings (usually under Settings -> Advanced -> App passwords) for use with third-party applications like TWBlue. This is more secure than using your main account password, as each App Password can be revoked individually.
+*   **DID (Decentralized Identifier)**: A unique, permanent identifier for users and data on the AT Protocol. It typically starts with ``did:plc:``. Your DID doesn't change even if your handle does. You generally won't need to interact with DIDs directly in TWBlue, as handles are used more commonly for user interaction.
+*   **Skyline**: This is the term Bluesky uses for your main home timeline, showing posts from people you follow.
+*   **Skeet**: An informal term for a post on Bluesky (akin to a "tweet" on Twitter).

+**************************************
+Blueski (Bluesky) Integration
+**************************************
+
+TWBlue now supports the AT Protocol (ATProto), the decentralized social networking protocol that powers Bluesky. This allows you to interact with your Bluesky account directly within TWBlue.
+
+Adding a Blueski Account
+===============================
+
+To connect your Bluesky account to TWBlue, you will need your user **handle** and an **App Password**.
+
+1.  **User Handle**: This is your unique Bluesky identifier, often in the format ``@username.bsky.social`` or a custom domain you've configured (e.g., ``@yourname.com``).
+2.  **App Password**: Bluesky uses App Passwords for third-party applications like TWBlue instead of your main account password. You need to generate an App Password from your Bluesky account settings.
+    *   Go to Bluesky Settings (usually accessible from the Bluesky app or website).
+    *   Navigate to the "App passwords" section (this might be under "Advanced" or "Security").
+    *   Generate a new App Password. Give it a descriptive name (e.g., "TWBlue").
+    *   Copy the generated App Password immediately. It will usually only be shown once.
+
+Once you have your handle and the App Password:
+
+1.  Open TWBlue and go to the Session Manager (Application Menu -> Manage accounts).
+2.  Click on "New account".
+3.  Select "Blueski (Bluesky)" from the menu.
+4.  A dialog will prompt you to confirm that you want to authorize your account. Click "Yes".
+5.  You will then be asked for your Bluesky Handle. Enter your full handle (e.g., ``@username.bsky.social`` or ``username.bsky.social``).
+6.  Next, you will be asked for the App Password you generated. Enter it carefully.
+7.  If the credentials are correct, TWBlue will log in to your Bluesky account, and the new session will be added to your accounts list.
+
+Key Features
+============
+
+Once your Blueski account is connected, you can use the following features in TWBlue:
+
+*   **Posting**: Create new posts (often called "skeets") with text, images, and specify language.
+*   **Timelines**:
+    *   **Discover (algorithmic)**: A home feed curated by Bluesky.
+    *   **Following (chronological)**: View posts from users you follow in order.
+    *   **User Timelines**: View posts from specific users.
+    *   **Mentions & Replies**: These will appear in your Notifications.
+*   **Notifications**: Receive notifications for likes, reposts, follows, mentions, replies, and quotes.
+*   **User Actions**:
+    *   Follow and unfollow users.
+    *   Mute and unmute users.
+    *   Block and unblock users (blocking is done on your PDS/server).
+*   **Quoting Posts**: Quote other users' posts when you create a new post.
+*   **User Search**: Search for users by their handle or display name.
+*   **Content Warnings**: Create posts with content warnings (sensitive content labels).
+
+Basic Concepts for Blueski
+==================================
+
+*   **DID (Decentralized Identifier)**: A unique, permanent identifier for users and data on the AT Protocol. It doesn't change even if your handle does. You generally won't need to interact with DIDs directly in TWBlue, as handles are used more commonly.
+*   **Handle**: Your user-facing address on Bluesky (e.g., ``@username.bsky.social``). This is what you use to log in with an App Password in TWBlue. Handles can be changed, but your DID remains the same.
+*   **App Password**: A specific password you generate within your Bluesky account settings for use with third-party applications like TWBlue. This is more secure than using your main account password.
+*   **PDS (Personal Data Server)**: Where your account data is stored on the AT Protocol network. Most users are on the main Bluesky PDS (bsky.social), but you could potentially use a different one. TWBlue will typically connect to the default Bluesky PDS.
+
+Further details on specific actions can be found in the relevant sections of this documentation. As Bluesky and the AT Protocol evolve, TWBlue will aim to incorporate new features and refinements.

 ## Changelog
 
+In this version, we have focused on expanding content management capabilities within Mastodon. It is now possible to edit sent posts and schedule them for future publication. Additionally, support for reading quoted posts has been implemented, and a new buffer for server announcements is available. On the Core side, visual stability has been prioritized to ensure proper window display, along with an expansion of keyboard shortcuts.
+
 * Core:
-    * The TWBlue website will no longer be available on the twblue.es domain. Beginning in January 2024, TWBlue will live at https://twblue.mcvsoftware.com. Also, we will start releasing versions on [gitHub releases](https://github.com/mcv-software/twblue/releases) so it will be easier to track specific versions.
+    * Fixed a critical issue where buffers were not visible on screen in certain configurations. Now the main window maximizes correctly and visual fixes have been applied to ensure content is accessible. ([#886](https://github.com/mcv-software/twblue/issues/886))
-    * As of the first release of TWBlue in 2024, we will officially stop generating 32-bit (X86) compatible binaries due to the increasing difficulty of generating versions compatible with this architecture in modern Python.
+    * Keyboard shortcut improvements: Several shortcuts have been added and fixed to improve efficiency and avoid conflicts:
-    * TWBlue should be more reliable when checking for updates.
+        * New shortcuts for the autocomplete users manager and menu bar items. ([#842](https://github.com/mcv-software/twblue/issues/842))
-    * If running from source, automatic updates will not be checked as this works only for distribution. ([#540](https://github.com/MCV-Software/TWBlue/pull/540))
+        * Added a shortcut for the "Restore Template" button in the template editor dialog. ([#841](https://github.com/mcv-software/twblue/issues/841))
-    * Fixed the 'report an error' item in the help menu. Now this item redirects to our gitHub issue tracker. ([#524](https://github.com/MCV-Software/TWBlue/pull/524))
+        * New shortcuts for user list and poll dialogs.
+        * Resolved a conflict with the 's' key shortcut used for seeking media.
+        * Updated the shortcut for marking an account as a "Bot" to avoid conflict with the biography field.
 * Mastodon:
-    * Implemented actions for the notifications buffer on a mastodon instance. Actions can be performed from the contextual menu on every notification, or by using invisible keystrokes. ([#517](https://github.com/mcv-software/twblue/issues/517))
+    * **Post Editing:** It is finally possible to edit Mastodon posts from TWBlue! You can now correct errors in your posts. ([#859](https://github.com/mcv-software/twblue/issues/859))
-    * Implemented update profile dialog. ([#547](https://github.com/MCV-Software/TWBlue/pull/547))
+        * Safety warning: if you edit a post containing a poll, votes will be reset.
-    * It is possible to display an user profile from the user menu within the menu bar, or by using the invisible keystroke for user details. ([#555](https://github.com/MCV-Software/TWBlue/pull/555))
+        * Polls are now correctly displayed as attachments within the edit dialog.
-    * Added possibility to vote in polls. This is mapped to Alt+Win+Shift+V in the invisible keymaps for windows 10/11.
+    * **Scheduled Posts:** It is now possible to schedule your posts to be published at a later time!
-    * Added posts search. Take into account that Mastodon instances should be configured with full text search enabled. Search for posts only include posts the logged-in user has interacted with. ([#541](https://github.com/MCV-Software/TWBlue/pull/541))
+        * Added a "Schedule post" checkbox to the post dialog with date and time pickers.
-    * Added user autocompletion settings in account settings dialog, so it is possible to ask TWBlue to scan mastodon accounts and add people from followers and following buffers. For now, user autocompletion can be used only when composing new posts or replies.
+        * Implemented validation to ensure posts are scheduled at least 5 minutes in the future, as required by Mastodon.
-    * TWBlue should be able to ignore deleted direct messages or messages from deleted accounts. Previously, a direct message that no longer existed in the instance caused errors when loading the direct messages buffer and could potentially affect notifications as well.
+        * The default time is automatically set to 6 minutes in the future for convenience.
-    * TWBlue should be able to ignore notifications from deleted accounts or posts.
+    * **Quoted Posts:** Significantly improved the reading and display of quoted posts. TWBlue now structures and reads this content more clearly. ([#860](https://github.com/mcv-software/twblue/issues/860))
+    * **Content Cleaning:** Implemented a more robust HTML filter to remove junk elements or unnecessary CSS classes from post text, offering a cleaner reading experience.
+    * **Mute Conversation:** Enhanced the "Mute Conversation" feature.
+        * Posts from muted conversations will now be visually hidden from the Home timeline immediately upon muting, ensuring a cleaner experience.
+        * Added a new invisible shortcut to toggle mute on the focused conversation: `Alt+Windows+Shift+Delete` (Default) or `Control+Alt+Windows+Backspace` (Windows 10/11).
+        * The action is also available in the context menu of the post.
+    * **Announcements:** Added support for viewing server announcements.
+        * New dedicated buffer for "Announcements" where you can read instance-wide news.
+        * Added ability to dismiss (mark as read) announcements directly from the buffer.
