 # Changelog
 
+## [v0.5.0](https://github.com/Nexus-Mods/NexusMods.App/releases/tag/v0.5.0) - 2024-05-29
+
+### New Features
+
+This release is packed with new features. Configs generated by the game are now ingested into the correct mod, and can be edited using our new Text Editor ([#1358](https://github.com/Nexus-Mods/NexusMods.App/pull/1358), [#1346](https://github.com/Nexus-Mods/NexusMods.App/pull/1346)):
+
+![Screenshot of the new Text Editor with syntax highlighting.](./docs/changelog-assets/fe39f9f3599a206cdad029c5c5e5fc16.webp)
+
+The text editor uses [AvaloniaEdit](https://github.com/avaloniaui/avaloniaedit) and comes with syntax highlighting and many features you'd expect a code editor to have. You can even change the theme in the toolbar directly or using our new Settings UI ([#396](https://github.com/Nexus-Mods/NexusMods.App/issues/396), [#920](https://github.com/Nexus-Mods/NexusMods.App/issues/920)):
+
+![Screenshot of the new Settings UI displaying various items with toggles and drop down menus.](./docs/changelog-assets/cacfba03e6a97ea69a9517d797cd3828.webp)
+
+Settings have been in the works for a long time, and we've finally developed a system to easily create settings and allow users to change them. The UI will be expanded with sections, a search bar, and many more features in the future.
+
+Our Downloads Page received a lot of attention in this release as well. It now contains a very nice and sleek download speed chart, and a list of completed downloads ([#1297](https://github.com/Nexus-Mods/NexusMods.App/pull/1297), [#1397](https://github.com/Nexus-Mods/NexusMods.App/pull/1397)):

+![Screenshot of the Downloads Page with a new speed chart and a list of completed downloads.](./docs/changelog-assets/b59e869446acf19adcb518899aa2ce43.webp)
+
+Clicking the "View in library" button will take you to our new Mods Library. Here you can see a list of all mods you've downloaded and installed. You can also quickly add a mod to your Loadout ([#1268](https://github.com/Nexus-Mods/NexusMods.App/pull/1268), [#1347](https://github.com/Nexus-Mods/NexusMods.App/pull/1347)):

+
+The biggest change we've done is completely overhauling our internal data model and moving *almost* everything to our custom build database called [MnemonicDB](https://github.com/Nexus-Mods/NexusMods.MnemonicDB). The immediate benefit of this change is better faster, the long term benefit is having a reliable database with migrations and opportunities for new and awesome features without being bogged down by our previous data model.
+
+One notable change that the new data model brought to the App is reified deletes.
+
+### Other Changes

 ## [v0.4.1](https://github.com/Nexus-Mods/NexusMods.App/releases/tag/v0.4.1) - 2024-04-17
 
 ### New Features
 
 The highlight of this PR is the new Apply Diff View ([#1202](https://github.com/Nexus-Mods/NexusMods.App/pull/1202)). You can now preview the changes made to disk before applying the Loadout:

 Stardew Valley received three new diagnostics ([#1171](https://github.com/Nexus-Mods/NexusMods.App/pull/1171), [#1168](https://github.com/Nexus-Mods/NexusMods.App/issues/1168)). These diagnostics use the current game version and a [compatibility matrix](https://github.com/erri120/smapi-versions) to figure out if the currently installed SMAPI version is compatible:
 
 ![Screenshot of a critical error where the minimum support game version of SMAPI is greater than the currently game version.](./docs/changelog-assets/a348548403ed6a412fcfe97c22083e0d.webp)
 
 ![Screenshot of a critical error where the maximum supported game version of SMAPI is lower than the currently installed game version.](./docs/changelog-assets/15b10289b7aaaefd6f8f9c13da79ced9.webp)
 
-This also includes our first "suggestion" diagnostic. This diagnostic will only appear if you have no mods installed and it will recommend a supported SMAPI version:
