 # APC P15 Tool Changelog
 
-## [v1.1.0-b1] - 2024-07-09
+## [v1.2.2] - 2025-04-22
 
-BETA: First effort to add support for EC key support for NMC3.
+All dependencies updated.
 
-This version also enables RSA 4,092 bit length. Code was updated
+Add darwin arm64 and amd64 builds.
-so the NMC2 key+cert file is not generated when NMC2 is not
+
-supported. Log messages were also updated to signal user when
+
-a compatibility issue is present.
+## [v1.2.1] - 2025-03-17
+
+Fix time check for UPS when it is set to GMT timezone.
+
+All dependencies updated.
+
+
+## [v1.2.0] - 2025-01-27
+
+Add a new feature to `install` that checks the time of the UPS to confirm
+it is accurate. A log message is added that advises either way. Even if
+the check fails, the install still proceeds with attempting to install
+the new certificate.
+
+Dependencies were also all updated.
+
+
+## [v1.1.0] - 2024-09-17
+
+> [!IMPORTANT]
+> The flag `apchost` on the `install` command has been renamed to
+> `hostname`. This flag should contain the hostname only. If a non-
+> default SSH port is needed, specify it in the `sshport` flag.
+
+This version brings support for for RSA 4,092 bit and EC keys. These 
+keys are only compatible with NMC3 running newer firmwares. To know 
+if your firmware is new enough, SSH into your UPS and type `ssh` and enter.
+If the UPS responds `Command Not Found` the firmware is too old or
+otherwise incompatible.
+
+This version also adds a post `install` check that connects to the web
+ui and verifies the certificate served is the expected one. You can
+specify a non standard ssl port with the `sslport` flag or skip the check
+entirely with the `skipverify` flag.
