>>>
>>> This project builds upon the work initiated during the OSGeo sprint in
>>> Prague in the summer of 2023, which focused on creating a new History
>>> Browser panel to facilitate access to the command history. Although the new
>>> History Browser panel became available in the GRASS development version
>>> starting December 8th (refer to the PR [5]), initially it provided only a
>>> basic, single-level display of commands from the history log, with the
>>> capability to relaunch commands but lacking detailed command information.
>>> This project aims to enhance the basic functionality by incorporating
>>> several improvements.
>>>
>>> *The state of the art BEFORE the start of the Mini project:*
>>> The History Browser panel displayed a simple tree of command entries
>>> loaded from a plain-text history log. It had only the capability to
>>> relaunch commands.
>>>
>>> *The state of the art AFTER Mini project:*
>>> Implemented changes include:
>>>
>>>    - Transitioning the plain text format of the history log
>>>    (.wxgui_history) to JSON format, allowing more information to be stored for
>>>    each executed command. Newly, the log stores information about the
>>>    timestamp, command status, runtime duration, region settings, and mask
>>>    usage.
>>>
>>>
>>>    - Instead of implementing the initially planned context option "Show
>>>    Info" and displaying a small dialog with process information, the history
>>>    pane was redesigned into two sections. The upper part features the history
>>>    tree, while the lower part includes two static boxes presenting information
>>>    stored in the history log. The first box contains general details, and the
>>>    second box displays the computational region during command execution.
>>>
>>>
>>>    - Adding a symbol in front of each command in the tree based on the
>>>    command's status.
>>>
>>>
>>>    - Branching the tree based on the date of command execution - tree
>>>    is branched into days and sorted from the Today node to older nodes.
>>>    Command nodes are sorted from the oldest to the newest.
>>>
>>> The task of filtering commands based on status was not addressed during
>>> the project due to higher-priority issues that emerged:
>>>
>>>    - Adding the "Update current region" button, which dynamically
>>>    updates the region based on the executed command and its information stored
>>>    in the JSON-formatted history log.
>>>    - Introducing a new Delete option in the command tree
>>>    - Rearranging the Export History button
>>>
>>> *Next Steps:*
>>> Possible improvements for the History browser pane:
>>>
>>>    - Fixing of command status for nonsense entries (already noted here:
>>>    [6]):
>>>    - Sorting the commands in the history tree from the newest to oldest
>>>    (seems more logical)
>>>    - Implementing efficient refresh methods (currently all nodes are
>>>    refreshed when adding a command)
>>>    - Showing the complete error text if a command fails. (Now there is
>>>    a “failed” status written but no clue what actually happened).
>>>    - Adding the new combo box restricting the filtering based on the
>>>    command status
>>>    - Adding the Copy context menu option to command nodes
>>>
>>>
>>> Permanent links to GitHub PRs and screenshots of the improved History
>>> Browser pane can be found at [7] and [1].
