 All notable changes to OffsetScan are documented in this file.
 The project follows semantic versioning.
 
+## [0.2.2] - 2026-07-21
+
+### Documentation
+
+- Rewrite the README "Verified parity" section as a real side-by-side: it now shows the
+  actual `offsetscan ioc` JSON (array, `/` paths) next to the actual `Get-OffsetIOC |
+  ConvertTo-Json` output (object, `\` paths), and notes that field *values* are identical
+  while the only differences are cosmetic serialization. The prior version implied a
+  left/right comparison but showed a single stylized block matching neither tool's real
+  output. No code changes.

+Every field value matches, including the imphash and entropy to six decimal places. The
+only differences are cosmetic serialization: OffsetScan always wraps results in an array
+(its JSON-mode convention, even for a single file) and normalizes path separators to `/`,
+while `ConvertTo-Json` emits a bare object with Windows `\` paths.
 
 String extraction is compared as a set, not just a count. For `ntdll.dll`
 (2,517,928 bytes), `offsetscan strings` and `Get-OffsetString` both return
