## 📦 New Structure

### Main Files (Root Directory - Always Latest)
```
Supervertaler/
├─ Supervertaler_Qt.py          # Qt Edition v1.0.0 Phase 5
├─ Supervertaler_tkinter.py     # Tkinter Edition v3.7.7
└─ README.md
```

### Archive Structure
```
previous_versions/
├─ README.md                     # Archive documentation
├─ qt/
│   └─ (future versioned releases)
└─ tkinter/
    └─ (future versioned releases)
```

## 🔄 What Changed

### File Renames
- `Supervertaler_Qt_v1.0.0.py` → `Supervertaler_Qt.py`
- `Supervertaler_v3.7.7.py` → `Supervertaler_tkinter.py`

### Version Tracking
Both files now include version constants:

**Qt Edition**:
```python
__version__ = "1.0.0"
__phase__ = "5"
__release_date__ = "2025-10-29"
__edition__ = "Qt"
```

**Tkinter Edition**:
```python
__version__ = "3.7.7"
__release_date__ = "2025-10-27"
__edition__ = "tkinter"
APP_VERSION = "3.7.7"  # Legacy constant
```

### Documentation Updates
- ✅ README.md - Two-edition structure with clear positioning
- ✅ CHANGELOG.md - Framework-based references and naming note
- ✅ File headers - Updated with edition information
- ✅ previous_versions/README.md - Archive instructions

## 🎯 Benefits

## 🚀 Workflow Going Forward

### When Releasing New Version

**Example: Qt v1.1.0**:
1. Copy `Supervertaler_Qt.py` → `previous_versions/qt/Supervertaler_Qt_v1.0.0.py`
2. Update `Supervertaler_Qt.py` with v1.1.0 code
3. Update version constants in file
4. Commit with message "Qt v1.1.0 - [features]"
5. Push to GitHub

**Example: Tkinter v3.7.8**:
1. Copy `Supervertaler_tkinter.py` → `previous_versions/tkinter/Supervertaler_tkinter_v3.7.7.py`
2. Update `Supervertaler_tkinter.py` with v3.7.8 code
3. Update version constants
4. Commit and push
