v2.0.0 - polished UI & drag-and-drop

What's New 🎉

✨ UI Overhaul

• Polished button styling with hover/press states, color-coded actions (blue primary, red danger), and consistent visual hierarchy across all panels
• Proportional column sizing — columns distribute available width dynamically based on content, resize with the splitter, and never go narrower than their header text

📁 Drag & Drop Uploads

• Drag files from your file manager directly onto the file browser tree
• Target folder is detected automatically based on where you drop
• Confirmation dialog shows destination path before uploading
• Multiple files are committed atomically in a single commit

🔍 Live Search

• Repo filtering is now instant as you type — no need to press Enter
• 700ms debounce keeps it responsive without hammering the API
• Filters locally against the cached repo list for zero-latency results

🖱️ Quality of Life

• Double-click a repo in the left panel to open it on Hugging Face Hub
• Clickable token URL in the login dialog
• Sort column and direction persist across sessions
• Updated emoji icons throughout (🔄, ➕, 🗑, 🔒, 🌐, 📄, ✏️, 📝)

📦 Windows Installer

• Inno Setup-based installer with embedded Python and uv package manager
• Creates a virtual environment and installs dependencies at install time
• Real-time progress bar during setup
• Desktop and Start Menu shortcuts
• Clean uninstall with multi-stage cleanup

v1.3.0 - smarter uploads & cleanup

🚀 What's New

• Batched Multi-File Uploads — Uploading multiple files now creates a single atomic commit instead of one commit per file. Faster, cleaner history, and no more partial uploads on failure.

🧹 Cleanup

• Removed fs_ops/ module — Empty, unused module removed to keep the project lean.
• Added .gitignore — Properly excludes virtual environment files, __pycache__, logs, and local model card templates from version control.

v1.2.0 - refinements

✨ Improvements

• Structured Logging — Every backend module now logs through Python's logging framework. Timestamped log files are written to logs/ with automatic cleanup (keeps the 10 most recent).
• Smarter Retries — Retry logic now catches HTTP 5xx responses in addition to transport errors, with logged warnings on each attempt.
• Large File Guard — Text files over 10 MB are blocked from the built-in editor with clear guidance to download, edit locally, and re-upload.
• Binary File Detection — The editor rejects non-UTF-8 files with a helpful error instead of silently mangling content.

🐛 Fixes

• Safer YAML Generation — Model card frontmatter now properly quotes values containing special characters, preventing malformed YAML output.
• Branch Switching — Changing branches now loads files asynchronously with a stale-result guard, instead of triggering a full refresh.
• Collections Refactor — Extracted shared _to_collection_info helper and eliminated redundant API calls when adding/removing items.
• Dialog Encapsulation — AddToCollectionDialog.set_defaults() replaces direct widget access · file size stored per tree item for faster lookups.

v1.1.0 - Favorites, Resilience, Polish

⭐ Favorites System

• Right-click any repo to add/remove it from your favorites
• New "★ Favorites only" checkbox to filter your repo list
• Star column added to the repo tree for at-a-glance visibility

🔄 Retry Logic for API Calls

• All Hugging Face Hub API calls now wrapped with with_retry for automatic retries on transient network failures
• Migrated retry error handling from requests/urllib3 to httpx exceptions (ConnectError, TimeoutException, NetworkError, ProtocolError)

🛡️ Busy-State UI Guard

• Buttons, inputs, and context menus are now properly disabled while background operations are running, preventing accidental double-actions
• Certain non-blocking operations (file loading, README fetch, collections, repo list) no longer lock the full UI

🐛 Fixes & Improvements

• Branch handling: smarter default branch selection — if the selected branch no longer exists, falls back to the first available branch instead of blindly assuming main
• Auto-login: invalid saved tokens now show a clear message and get cleared, instead of failing silently
• Repo listing: limit parameter changed from hardcoded 100 to None (fetch all)
• Error propagation: HFRepoError exceptions are now re-raised correctly instead of being swallowed by generic catch blocks
• Logout now clears the cached repo list
