+## 0.18.0
+
+Released on 10/06/2025
+
+- 🐚 An **Embedded shell for termscp**:
+  - [Issue 340](https://github.com/veeso/termscp/issues/340): Replaced the `Exec` popup with a **fully functional terminal emulator** embedded thanks to [A-Kenji's tui-term](https://github.com/a-kenji/tui-term).
+  - Command History
+  - Support for `cd` and `exit` commands as well.
+  - Exit just closes the terminal emulator.
+- [Issue 345](https://github.com/veeso/termscp/issues/345): Default keys are used from `~/.ssh` directory if no keys are resolved for the host.
+- **Updated dependencies** and updated the Rust edition to `2024`
+
+## 0.17.0
+
+Released on 24/03/2025
+
+- **Queuing transfers**:
+  - the logic of selecting files has been extended!
+  - From now on selecting file will put the files into a **transfer queue**, which is shown on the bottom panel.
+  - When a file is selected the file is added to the queue with a destination path, which is the **current other explorer path at the moment of selection.**
+  - It is possible to navigate to the transfer queue by using `P` and pressing `ENTER` or `DELETE` on a file will remove it from the transfer queue.
+  - Other commands will work as well on the transfer queue, like `COPY`, `MOVE`, `DELETE`, `RENAME`.
+- [issue 308](https://github.com/veeso/termscp/issues/308): added `--wno-keyring` flag to disable keyring
+- [issue 316](https://github.com/veeso/termscp/issues/316): Local directory path is not switching to what's specified in the bookmark. Now the local directory path is correctly set following this hierarchy:
+    1. Local directory path specified for the host bridge
+    2. Local directory path specified in the bookmark
+    3. Working directory
+- [issue 317](https://github.com/veeso/termscp/issues/317): the return value of `--version` should be `0`
+- [issue 319](https://github.com/veeso/termscp/issues/319): fixed a crash when the local directory specified in the auth form does not exist
+- [issue 327](https://github.com/veeso/termscp/issues/327): fixed a panic when trying to go up from local directory on localhost in the auth form
+- [issue 330](https://github.com/veeso/termscp/issues/330): add suppaftp/pavao/kube to allowed logs
+- Dependencies:
+  - `argh` to `0.1.13`
+  - `bytesize` to `2`
+  - `dirs` to `6`
+  - `magic-crypt` to `4`
+  - `notify` to `8`
+  - `ssh2-config` to `0.4`
+  - `remotefs-ssh` to `0.6`
+  - `rust` edition to `2024`
+
+## 0.16.1
+
+Released on 12/11/2024
+
+- Just fixed this: e45c3d5b4ef64653e5b6cc4f3703e3b67514306d
+  - `fix: gg rust 1.82 for introducing a nice breaking change in config which was not mentioned in changelog`
+
+## 0.16.0
+
+Released on 14/10/2024
+
+- [**Multi Host support**](https://github.com/veeso/termscp/issues/285):
+  - Now it is possible to work on two different remotes `remote A -> remote B` instead of just `localhost -> remote`
+  - Cli arguments now accept an additional `remote-args` for the left panel.
+  - For more details read this issue <https://github.com/veeso/termscp/issues/285>.
+  - Change between auth forms with `<BACKTAB>`
+  - Bookmarks are automatically loaded into the last auth form.
+- [Issue 289](https://github.com/veeso/termscp/issues/289): Use `uzers` instead of the dead package `users` which has several vulnerabilities
+- [Issue 290](https://github.com/veeso/termscp/issues/290): Password prompt was broken
+- [Issue 298](https://github.com/veeso/termscp/issues/298): tuirealm 2.x
+  - Fixed some performance issues where sometimes the app froze for a couple of seconds, thanks to this <https://github.com/veeso/tui-realm/pull/78>.
+- [Issue 292](https://github.com/veeso/termscp/issues/292): New version alert was not displayed due to a semver regex issue.
+- [Issue 291](https://github.com/veeso/termscp/issues/291): Show `..` directory before all the others in the explorer. If you click on it you'll go the parent directory (same as pressing `<U>`). No, you can't select it for transfers and it's actually been implemented in the worse way possible, because this little change would require a huge refactoring of the explorer component. I promise I will do it one day, but I dunno when.
+- Logging: filter out messages not related to termscp or remotefs

 And so in december 2020 I had the first version of termscp running and it worked, but was very simple, raw and minimal.
 A lot of things have changed since them, both the features the project provides and my personal view of this project.

 ### Mit mehreren Dateien arbeiten 🥷 
 
-Sie können mit mehreren Dateien arbeiten, indem Sie `<M>` drücken, um die aktuelle Datei auszuwählen, oder `<CTRL+A>`, um alle Dateien im Arbeitsverzeichnis auszuwählen.
+Du kannst mit mehreren Dateien gleichzeitig arbeiten, mit diesen einfachen Tastenkombinationen:
-Sobald eine Datei zur Auswahl markiert ist, wird sie mit einem `*` auf der linken Seite angezeigt.
-Bei der Arbeit mit der Auswahl werden nur die ausgewählten Dateien für Aktionen verarbeitet, während der aktuell hervorgehobene Eintrag ignoriert wird.
-Es ist auch möglich, mit mehreren Dateien im Suchergebnis-Panel zu arbeiten.
-Alle Aktionen sind verfügbar, wenn Sie mit mehreren Dateien arbeiten, aber beachten Sie, dass einige Aktionen etwas anders funktionieren. Schauen wir uns das genauer an:
 
-- _Kopieren_: Wann immer Sie eine Datei kopieren, werden Sie aufgefordert, den Zielnamen einzugeben. Bei der Arbeit mit mehreren Dateien bezieht sich dieser Name auf das Zielverzeichnis, in dem alle diese Dateien kopiert werden.
+- `<M>`: Datei zur Auswahl markieren
+- `<CTRL+A>`: alle Dateien im aktuellen Verzeichnis auswählenas
+- `<ALT+A>`: Auswahl aller Dateien aufheben
 
-- _Umbenennen_: Dasselbe wie Kopieren, aber die Dateien werden dorthin verschoben.
+Markierte Dateien werden **mit hervorgehobenem Hintergrund**  angezeigt.
+Bei Auswahlaktionen werden nur die markierten Dateien verarbeitet, das aktuell hervorgehobene Element wird ignoriert.
 
-- _Speichern unter_: Dasselbe wie Kopieren, aber die Dateien werden dorthin geschrieben.
+Auch im Suchergebnis-Panel ist die Mehrfachauswahl möglich.
+
+Alle Aktionen sind bei mehreren Dateien verfügbar, einige funktionieren jedoch leicht anders:
+
+- *Kopieren*: du wirst nach einem Zielnamen gefragt. Bei mehreren Dateien ist das das Zielverzeichnis.
+- *Umbenennen*: wie Kopieren, aber verschiebt die Dateien.
+- *Speichern unter*: wie Kopieren, aber schreibt die Dateien dorthin.
+
+Wenn du eine Datei in einem Verzeichnis (z. B. `/home`) auswählst und dann das Verzeichnis wechselst, bleibt sie ausgewählt und erscheint in der **Transfer-Warteschlange**  im unteren Panel.
+Beim Markieren einer Datei wird das aktuelle *Remote*-Verzeichnis gespeichert; bei einem Transfer wird sie in dieses Verzeichnis übertragen.
+
+#### Beispiel
+
+Wenn wir `/home/a.txt` lokal auswählen und im Remote-Panel in `/tmp` sind, dann zu `/var` wechseln, `/var/b.txt` auswählen und im Remote-Panel in `/home` sind, ergibt der Transfer:
+
+- `/home/a.txt` → `/tmp/a.txt`
+- `/var/b.txt` → `/home/b.txt`

+Puedes optar por trabajar con varios archivos, usando estos controles:
-Una vez que un archivo está marcado para su selección, se mostrará con un `*` a la izquierda.
-Al trabajar en la selección, solo se procesará el archivo seleccionado para las acciones, mientras que el elemento resaltado actual se ignorará.
-También es posible trabajar en varios archivos desde el panel de resultados de búsqueda.

+- *Copiar*: al copiar, se pedirá el nombre de destino. Para varios archivos, es el directorio donde se copiarán.
+- *Renombrar*: igual que copiar, pero mueve los archivos.
+- *Guardar como*: igual que copiar, pero escribe los archivos allí.
+
+Si seleccionas un archivo en un directorio (ej. `/home`) y cambias de directorio, seguirá seleccionado y se mostrará en la **cola de transferencia**  en el panel inferior.
+Cuando se selecciona un archivo, se asocia la carpeta *remota* actual con él; si se transfiere, será a esa carpeta.
+
+#### Ejemplo
+
+Si seleccionamos `/home/a.txt` localmente y estamos en `/tmp` en remoto, luego cambiamos a `/var`, seleccionamos `/var/b.txt` y estamos en `/home` en el panel remoto, el resultado de transferir será:
+
+- `/home/a.txt` transferido a `/tmp/a.txt`

 ### Travailler sur plusieurs fichiers 🥷 
 
-Vous pouvez choisir de travailler sur plusieurs fichiers, en les sélectionnant en appuyant sur `<M>`, afin de sélectionner le fichier actuel, ou en appuyant sur `<CTRL+A>`, ce qui sélectionnera tous les fichiers dans le répertoire de travail.
+Vous pouvez choisir de travailler sur plusieurs fichiers avec ces simples commandes :
-Une fois qu'un fichier est marqué pour la sélection, il sera affiché avec un `*` sur la gauche.
-Lorsque vous travaillez sur la sélection, seul le fichier sélectionné sera traité pour les actions, tandis que l'élément en surbrillance actuel sera ignoré.
-Il est également possible de travailler sur plusieurs fichiers dans le panneau des résultats de recherche.
-Toutes les actions sont disponibles lorsque vous travaillez avec plusieurs fichiers, mais sachez que certaines actions fonctionnent de manière légèrement différente. Plongeons dans:
 
-- *Copy*: chaque fois que vous copiez un fichier, vous serez invité à insérer le nom de destination. Lorsque vous travaillez avec plusieurs fichiers, ce nom fait référence au répertoire de destination où tous ces fichiers seront copiés.
+- `<M>` : marquer un fichier à sélectionner
-- *Rename*: identique à la copie, mais y déplacera les fichiers.
+- `<CTRL+A>` : sélectionner tous les fichiers du répertoire actuel
-- *Save as*: identique à la copie, mais les y écrira.
+- `<ALT+A>` : désélectionner tous les fichiers
+
+Une fois sélectionné, un fichier sera **affiché avec un fond en surbrillance** .
+Lorsqu’on travaille avec des sélections, seules les fichiers sélectionnés seront affectés par les actions, tandis que l'élément actuellement surligné sera ignoré.
+
+Il est également possible de travailler avec plusieurs fichiers depuis le panneau des résultats de recherche.
+
+Toutes les actions sont disponibles avec des fichiers multiples, mais certaines peuvent se comporter différemment. Détails :
+
+- *Copier* : lors de la copie, il vous sera demandé un nom de destination. Avec plusieurs fichiers, cela correspond au dossier de destination.
+- *Renommer* : identique à la copie, mais déplace les fichiers.
+- *Enregistrer sous* : identique à la copie, mais enregistre les fichiers à cet emplacement.
+
+Si vous sélectionnez un fichier dans un dossier (ex. `/home`) puis changez de répertoire, il restera sélectionné et sera affiché dans la **file d’attente de transfert**  en bas.
+Lorsqu’un fichier est sélectionné, le dossier *distant* courant lui est associé ; en cas de transfert, il sera envoyé vers ce dossier.
+
+#### Exemple
+
+Si on sélectionne `/home/a.txt` localement et que le panneau distant est sur `/tmp`, puis on passe à `/var`, on sélectionne `/var/b.txt` et que le panneau distant est sur `/home`, le transfert donnera :
+
+- `/home/a.txt` transféré vers `/tmp/a.txt`
+- `/var/b.txt` transféré vers `/home/b.txt`

+Tutte le azioni sono disponibili anche quando si lavora con più file, ma alcune funzionano in modo leggermente diverso. Ecco i dettagli:
+
+- *Copia*: quando copi un file, ti verrà chiesto di inserire il nome di destinazione. Con più file selezionati, questo nome rappresenta la cartella di destinazione dove verranno copiati.
+- *Rinomina*: come la copia, ma i file verranno spostati lì.
+- *Salva come*: come la copia, ma i file verranno salvati lì.
+
+Se selezioni un file in una directory (es. `/home`) e poi cambi directory, il file rimarrà selezionato e sarà visibile nella **coda di trasferimento**  nel pannello inferiore.
+Quando un file viene selezionato, la directory *remota* corrente viene associata all’elemento; quindi, se il file viene trasferito, verrà trasferito nella directory associata.
+
+#### Esempio
+
+Se selezioniamo un file locale `/home/a.txt`, siamo su `/tmp` nel pannello remoto, poi ci spostiamo su `/var`, selezioniamo `/var/b.txt`, e sul pannello remoto siamo su `/home`, eseguendo il trasferimento otterremo:
+
+- `/home/a.txt` trasferito su `/tmp/a.txt`
+- `/var/b.txt` trasferito su `/home/b.txt`

 ### Work on multiple files 🥷
 
-You can opt to work on multiple files, selecting them pressing `<M>`, in order to select the current file, or pressing `<CTRL+A>`, which will select all the files in the working directory.
+You can opt to work on multiple files, with these simple controls:
-Once a file is marked for selection, it will be displayed with a `*` on the left.
+
+- `<M>`: mark a file for selection
+- `<CTRL+A>`: select all files in the current directory
+- `<ALT+A>`: deselect all files
+
+Once a file is marked for selection, it will be **displayed with an highlighted background**.
+
 When working on selection, only selected file will be processed for actions, while the current highlighted item will be ignored.
 It is possible to work on multiple files also when in the find result panel.
+
 All the actions are available when working with multiple files, but be aware that some actions work in a slightly different way. Let's dive in:
 
 - *Copy*: whenever you copy a file, you'll be prompted to insert the destination name. When working with multiple file, this name refers to the destination directory where all these files will be copied.
 - *Rename*: same as copy, but will move files there.
 - *Save as*: same as copy, but will write them there.
 
+If you select a file in a directory (e.g. `/home`) and then you change directory the file will be kept selected and it will be displayed in the **transfer queue** in the bottom panel.
+
+When a file gets selected the current *remote* directory is associated to its entry; so in case the file gets transferred it will be transferred to the directory associated to the file.
+
+#### Example
+
+If we select a file on local `/home/a.txt` and we're currently at `/tmp` on remote and then we move to `/var` and we select `/var/b.txt` and on the remote panel we're at `/home` and we perform a transfer the result will be:
+
+- `/home/a.txt` transferred to `/tmp/a.txt`
+- `/var/b.txt` transferred to `/home/b.txt`
+
 ### Synchronized browsing ⏲️
 
 When enabled, synchronized browsing, will allow you to synchronize the navigation between the two panels.

-### 处理多个文件
+### 操作多个文件 🥷
 
-你可以同时操作多个文件，按`<M>`选定它们，或者按`<CTRL+A>` 全选当前工作目录中的所有文件。一旦一个文件被标记为选择，它将在左边显示一个 "*"。在这种模式下，只有选定的文件会被处理，而当前光标高亮显示的项目会被忽略。在查找结果面板中，也可以对多个文件进行处理。
+你可以通过以下简单的控制操作多个文件：
-在处理多个文件时，所有的操作都是可用的，但请注意，有些操作的工作方式略有不同。让我们深入了解一下：
 
-- *复制*: 当你复制一个文件时，你会被提示输入完整目标路径名。当处理多个文件时，这个名称指的是所有这些文件将被复制到的目标目录。
+- `<M>`：标记文件以进行选择
-- *重命名*: 和复制操作类似, 但是会移动文件到目标路径。
+- `<CTRL+A>`：选择当前目录下的所有文件
-- *保存为*: 和复制操作类似, 但是会写入文件到目标路径。
+- `<ALT+A>`：取消选择所有文件
+
+被标记的文件将会以**高亮背景** 显示。
+当进行选择操作时，只有被选中的文件会执行操作，而当前高亮显示的项目会被忽略。
+
+即使是在查找结果面板中，也可以操作多个文件。
+
+在操作多个文件时，所有功能都可用，但某些功能会有些许不同。具体如下：
+
+- *复制*：复制时会提示你输入目标名称。操作多个文件时，该名称是目标目录，所有文件将被复制到此目录中。
+- *重命名*：与复制相同，但文件将被移动到该目录。
+- *另存为*：与复制相同，但文件将被写入该目录。
+
+如果你在某个目录（如 `/home`）中选择了文件，然后切换目录，文件仍会保持被选中状态，并在底部面板的**传输队列** 中显示。
+文件被选中时，会将当前*远程*目录与该文件关联；如果文件被传输，它将被传输到与之关联的目录中。
+
+#### 示例
+
+如果我们在本地选择 `/home/a.txt`，此时远程目录是 `/tmp`，然后我们切换到 `/var`，选择 `/var/b.txt`，而此时远程目录为 `/home`，执行传输后的结果为：
+
+- `/home/a.txt` 传输到 `/tmp/a.txt`
+- `/var/b.txt` 传输到 `/home/b.txt`
