 # Changelog
 
+## [4.0.0](https://github.com/devlegacy/dvx-cli/compare/v3.0.2...v4.0.0) (2026-10-30)
+
+
+### ⚠ BREAKING CHANGES
+
+* Node.js >= 24 and pnpm >= 12 are required (3.x ran on Node 22). Compared with 3.0.2 the commands also behave differently:
+    - WebP output is lossy and follows the --quality preset (3.x was lossless).
+    - JPEG is encoded by mozjpeg only, with the preset quality (3.x ran jpegtran + mozjpeg at 90); the default preset medium uses 80.
+    - PNG quality follows the preset (3.x used a fixed 0.6-0.8 range).
+    - GIF is optimized losslessly with gifsicle (3.x used lossy giflossy).
+    - SVG keeps the viewBox and removes width/height (3.x removed the viewBox).
+    - img:minify skips sources whose optimized copy is newer, and img:resize skips images that already fit.
+    - Image commands exit with code 1 when any file fails (3.x always exited 0).
+    - Log output changed: warnings and errors go to stderr; DVX_LOG_FORMAT=json, DVX_LOG_LEVEL, NO_COLOR and FORCE_COLOR control the format.
+* requires Node >=24; per-file log format changed.
+
