+# 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/1.1.0/),
+and this project adheres to [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.html).
+
+## [Unreleased]
+
+### Added
+- **Project Foundation**: Complete project restructuring and automation setup
+- **Build System**: Comprehensive justfile with build, test, and status commands
+- **Base Image**: Debian Trixie-slim based container with essential system packages
+- **Minimal Image**: Bootable minimal image with OSTree compliance
+- **OSTree Integration**: Basic OSTree configuration and structure
+- **Systemd Services**: Core system services and configuration
+- **Kernel Support**: Kernel headers and module structure setup
+- **Bootloader Support**: GRUB EFI configuration (deployment-time setup)
+- **Disk Utilities**: Essential tools for bootc deployment (util-linux, parted, e2fsprogs, etc.)
+- **Phase 2 CoreOS**: Complete CoreOS equivalent with OSTree management
+- **OSTree Repository**: Full repository setup with deployment structure
+- **System Management**: Network configuration, security hardening, and container runtime
+- **Update Tools**: Particle-OS OSTree update management tool
+- **Security Features**: AppArmor integration and kernel security configuration
+
+### Changed
+- **Project Structure**: Reorganized from monolithic approach to layered container architecture
+- **Build Process**: Automated container builds using Podman
+- **Dependency Management**: Streamlined package installation and configuration
+
+### Fixed
+- **Containerfile.base**: Corrected syntax error in multi-line apt-get install command
+- **Kernel Headers**: Fixed kernel header path resolution for both version-specific and amd64 variants
+- **Build Environment**: Made kernel module setup robust for containerized builds
+- **Bootloader**: Skipped grub-install during build (deployment-time concern)
+- **Module Dependencies**: Skipped depmod during build (deployment-time concern)
+- **bootc Installation**: Resolved download issues by deferring to deployment-time installation
+
+### Technical Details
+- **Base Image**: Debian Trixie-slim with systemd, networking, and essential utilities
+- **Minimal Image**: Extends base with kernel support, bootloader config, and OSTree structure
+- **Build Commands**: `just build-base`, `just build-minimal`, `just status`
+- **Test Commands**: `just test-image`, `just test-ostree`, `just test-bootc-deployment`
+- **Architecture**: x86_64 with EFI boot support
+- **Container Engine**: Podman for builds and testing
+
+### Known Limitations
+- bootc binary installation deferred to deployment (GitHub releases URL issues)
+- Kernel module dependency generation skipped during build
+- Bootloader configuration deferred to deployment (container filesystem limitations)
+
+### Next Steps
+- **Phase 3**: Desktop environment integration (GNOME/KDE variants)
+- **Phase 4**: Advanced features and production readiness
+
+## [0.1.0] - 2024-08-11
+
+### Added
+- Initial project structure and documentation
+- Basic roadmap and terminology definitions
+- OSTree requirements specification
+- Project foundation and planning documents
+
+[Unreleased]: https://github.com/your-username/particle-os/compare/v0.1.0...HEAD
+[0.1.0]: https://github.com/your-username/particle-os/releases/tag/v0.1.0
