 # Change Log
 
+## [1.2.3] - 2025-06-21
+
+### Fixed
+- Comprehensive fix for LSP initialization error with vscode-languageclient module
+- Improved module resolution with fallback mechanisms
+- Enhanced error reporting for language server initialization issues
+
+### Changed
+- Migrated to webpack-based bundling for improved performance and reliability
+- Significantly reduced extension size by optimizing included dependencies
+- Improved extension startup time by bundling code into fewer files
+
+### Developer Notes
+- After trying several approaches to resolve the "Cannot find module 'vscode-languageclient/node'" error, we're hopeful that webpack bundling might be the solution
+- This has been a challenging journey through VS Code's Language Server Protocol architecture and extension packaging
+- While we can't be certain, we believe this approach may provide a more reliable experience across environments

+# ControlForge Structured Text v1.2.3
+
+## Bug Fixes
+
+### Comprehensive LSP Initialization Fix
+- Thorough fix for vscode-languageclient module resolution error
+- Implemented robust fallback mechanism for module imports
+- Enhanced dependency bundling for reliable deployment
+- Added detailed error reporting for language server issues
+
+## Performance Improvements
+
+### Webpack-based Bundling
+- Migrated to webpack for optimal extension packaging
+- Reduced extension size for faster installation
+- Improved startup time with optimized code bundling
+- Enhanced reliability across different VS Code environments
+
+## Development Notes
+
+After struggling with the Language Server Protocol issues and trying multiple approaches, we've implemented a webpack-based bundling solution that we hope might resolve the problem. This was a challenging refactoring effort, and while we can't be certain, we're cautiously optimistic that it might eliminate the module resolution errors some users experienced.
+
+What's particularly puzzling is that the extension works perfectly fine in development and debugging environments, with issues only appearing in certain production deployments. This inconsistency has made troubleshooting especially difficult.
+
+We're hopeful this version will provide better compatibility with VS Code 1.100.0 across different environments and possibly resolve the critical error that prevented the language server from initializing properly. Fingers crossed!
