+## [1.0.0] - 2025-11-11
+
+### 🚀 Major Refactoring - OpenAI SDK Migration
+
+#### Added
+- **New LLMClient abstraction layer** (`quantcli/llm_client.py`)
+  - Unified interface for all LLM interactions
+  - Support for OpenAI SDK v1.x+
+  - Standardized response format with `LLMResponse` dataclass
+  - Improved error handling and logging
+  - Token usage tracking
+
+- **Test infrastructure**
+  - pytest configuration
+  - Unit tests for LLMClient
+  - Coverage reporting (pytest-cov)
+  - Test markers for unit/integration/slow tests
+
+- **Modern dependencies**
+  - OpenAI SDK >= 1.0.0
+  - Rich terminal output library
+  - Type checking with mypy
+  - Code quality with ruff
+
+#### Changed
+- **Breaking**: Migrated from OpenAI SDK 0.28 to 1.x+
+  - Replaced deprecated `openai.ChatCompletion.create()` calls
+  - Updated all LLM interactions in `processor.py` to use LLMClient
+  - Removed global `openai.api_key` configuration
+
+- **Improved dependency management**
+  - Bumped Python requirement to >= 3.9
+  - Pin minimum versions for all dependencies
+  - Created clean `requirements.txt` (removed legacy freeze)
+
+- **Enhanced setup.py**
+  - Version bumped to 1.0.0
+  - Updated classifiers for PyPI
+  - Improved project description
+  - Added support for Python 3.9-3.12
+
+#### Removed
+- Direct `openai` module imports from utils.py
+- Hardcoded global API key setting
+- Legacy OpenAI 0.28 compatibility code
+
+### Migration Guide
+
+**For existing users upgrading from 0.3:**
+
+1. Update your environment:
+```bash
+pip install --upgrade openai>=1.0.0
+pip install -e .
+```
+
+2. No code changes required - the LLMClient abstraction handles SDK differences internally
+
+3. Ensure `OPENAI_API_KEY` is set in your environment or `.env` file
+
+### Technical Debt Addressed
+- ✅ OpenAI SDK obsolescence (0.28 → 1.x+)
+- ✅ Missing test coverage
+- ✅ Lack of structured logging for LLM calls
+- ✅ Token usage visibility
+
+### Known Issues
+- GUI module (gui.py) not yet updated - marked for deprecation
+- End-to-end integration tests pending
+- Documentation needs refresh for v1.0.0
+
+---
+
+## [0.3] - 2024-10-01
+
+### Legacy Version
+- Original CLI implementation
+- OpenAI SDK 0.28
+- Basic PDF processing and code generation
+- CrossRef article search
+- Interactive mode
+

 # QuantCoder (CLI Version)
 
-QuantCoder is a command-line tool that allows users to generate QuantConnect trading algorithms from research articles using natural language processing and large language models (LLMs). It was initiated in November 2023 and based on a cognitive architecture inspired by the article ["Dual Agent Chatbots and Expert Systems Design"](https://towardsdev.com/dual-agent-chatbots-and-expert-systems-design-25e2cba434e9)
+> **Transform academic trading research into executable QuantConnect algorithms using AI.**
 
-The initial version successfully coded a blended momentum and mean-reversion strategy as described in ["Outperforming the Market (1000% in 10 years)"](https://medium.com/coinmonks/how-to-outperform-the-market-fe151b944c77?sk=7066045abe12d5cf88c7edc80ec2679c), which received over 10,000 impressions on LinkedIn.
+QuantCoder is a command-line tool that converts research papers into production-ready QuantConnect trading algorithms using natural language processing and large language models. Based on a dual-agent cognitive architecture, it extracts trading signals, risk management rules, and generates tested Python code.
 
+## ✨ Key Features
 As of November 2025, it is under refactoring with readiness expected in February 2026. 
 
 ---
 
-## 🚀 First-Time Installation
+- 📄 **PDF Processing**: Extract trading strategies from academic papers
+- 🔍 **CrossRef Integration**: Search and download financial research articles
+- 🤖 **AI-Powered Code Generation**: Uses GPT-4o to generate QuantConnect algorithms
+- ✅ **Syntax Validation**: Automatic code validation and refinement
+- 🎯 **Dual-Agent Architecture**: Separates strategy extraction from code generation
+- 📊 **Rich Terminal UI**: Beautiful, interactive command-line interface
 
-> ✅ Requires **Python 3.8 or later**
+## 🚀 Installation
 
-### 🛠 Setup Instructions
+### Requirements
+- **Python 3.9 or later**
+- OpenAI API key
 
-```bash
-# Clone the repository and switch to the legacy branch
-git clone https://github.com/SL-Mar/QuantCoder.git
-cd QuantCoder
-git checkout quantcoder-legacy
+### Setup
 
-# Create and activate a virtual environment
-python -m venv .venv-legacy
+```bash
+# Clone the repository
+git clone https://github.com/SL-Mar/quantcoder-legacy.git
+cd quantcoder-legacy
 
-# On Windows:
-.\.venv-legacy\Scripts\activate
-# On macOS/Linux:
-source .venv-legacy/bin/activate
+# Create and activate virtual environment
+python -m venv .venv
+source .venv/bin/activate  # On Windows: .venv\Scripts\activate
 
-# Install dependencies and the CLI
+# Install QuantCoder
 pip install -e .
+
+# Download required NLP model
 python -m spacy download en_core_web_sm
-pip install openai==0.28
+
+# Set your OpenAI API key
+echo "OPENAI_API_KEY=your-api-key-here" > .env
 ```
 
-You may also freeze dependencies:
+## 💡 Usage
 
-```bash
-pip freeze > requirements-legacy.txt
-```
+### Interactive Mode
 
----
-🧠 LLM Configuration
-By default, this project uses the OpenAI gpt-4o-2024-11-20 model for generating trading code from research articles.
+Launch the interactive CLI:
 
-## 💡 Usage
+```bash
+quantcli interactive
+```
 
-To launch the CLI tool in interactive mode:
+Or:
 
 ```bash
 python -m quantcli.cli interactive
 ```
 
-Or if `quantcli` is recognized as a command:
+### Command-Line Interface
+
+**Search for research articles:**
 
 ```bash
-quantcli interactive
+quantcli search "momentum trading strategies" --num 5
 ```
 
----
+**List previously searched articles:**
 
-## ⚠️ OpenAI SDK Compatibility
+```bash
+quantcli list
+```
 
-This legacy version uses the **OpenAI SDK v0.28**. Newer versions (`>=1.0.0`) are **not supported**.
+**Download an article:**
+
+```bash
+quantcli download 1
+```
 
-If you encounter this error:
+**Process a PDF to generate algorithm:**
 
+```bash
+quantcli process path/to/research-paper.pdf
 ```
-You tried to access openai.ChatCompletion, but this is no longer supported...
+
+## 📚 Example Workflow
+
+1. **Search for trading research:**
+   ```bash
+   quantcli search "mean reversion high frequency" --num 3
+   ```
+
+2. **Download an interesting paper:**
+   ```bash
+   quantcli download 1
+   ```
+
+3. **Generate QuantConnect algorithm:**
+   ```bash
+   quantcli process downloads/paper.pdf
+   ```
+
+4. **Review generated code in `generated_code/` directory**
+
+5. **Copy to QuantConnect and backtest**
+
+## 🏗️ Architecture
+
+QuantCoder uses a dual-agent system:
+
+1. **Extraction Agent**: Analyzes PDF, identifies trading signals and risk management rules
+2. **Generation Agent**: Converts extracted information into QuantConnect Python code
+3. **Validation Layer**: Checks syntax and refines code using AST analysis
+
+## 📊 What's New in v1.0.0
+
+### Major Improvements
+
+✅ **Migrated to OpenAI SDK 1.x+** - Modern API with better error handling
+✅ **LLMClient abstraction layer** - Easily swap LLM providers
+✅ **Token usage tracking** - Monitor API costs
+✅ **Test infrastructure** - pytest with coverage reporting
+✅ **Improved logging** - Structured logs for debugging
+✅ **Type hints** - Better code quality with mypy support
+
+See [CHANGELOG.md](CHANGELOG.md) for full details.
+
+## 🧪 Testing
+
+Run the test suite:
+
+```bash
+pytest
 ```
 
-Fix it by running:
+With coverage:
 
 ```bash
-pip install openai==0.28
+pytest --cov=quantcli --cov-report=html
 ```
