+## v0.1.1.3 (2025-08-28)
+
+- Docs: Added Linux (WSL/Ubuntu) quick start, build and test instructions in `README.md`.
+- Build: `build.sh` now bootstraps vcpkg and uses the vcpkg toolchain; builds library, tests, and example.
+
+## v0.1.1.2 (2025-08-28)
+
+- Example: Made `example/CMakeLists.txt` platform-neutral; links against in-tree target `privatebinapi`.
+- Linux HTTP client: Fixed delete operation to use HTTP POST (required by PrivateBin API) instead of DELETE; resolves 405 errors when deleting.
+- Build: Verified successful build on Linux (WSL/Ubuntu) via vcpkg toolchain.
+- Tests: `test_basic` runs successfully via `ctest`.
+
+## v0.1.1.1 and earlier
+
+- Initial cross-platform library skeleton with Crypto++ and nlohmann-json via vcpkg.

+### Linux (WSL/Ubuntu) – Quick start
+
+Prerequisites (Ubuntu/Debian):
+
+```bash
+sudo apt-get update -y && sudo apt-get install -y \
+  build-essential cmake git pkg-config libcurl4-openssl-dev \
+  curl zip unzip tar ninja-build ca-certificates
+```
+
+Bootstrap vcpkg (once):
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/microsoft/vcpkg.git "$HOME/vcpkg"
+"$HOME/vcpkg/bootstrap-vcpkg.sh" -disableMetrics
+```
+
+Build (library, tests, example):
+
+```bash
+export VCPKG_ROOT="$HOME/vcpkg"
+cmake -S . -B build -G "Unix Makefiles" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE="$VCPKG_ROOT/scripts/buildsystems/vcpkg.cmake"
+cmake --build build --config Release
+```
+
+Or simply use the helper script:
+
+```bash
+bash ./build.sh
+```
+
+Run the example:
+
+```bash
+./build/example/example
+```
+
+Run tests:
+
+```bash
+ctest --test-dir build --output-on-failure
+```
+
+Artifacts:
+
+- Library: `build/libprivatebinapi.so`
+- Example binary: `build/example/example`
+
+Notes:
+
+- vcpkg dependencies (`cryptopp`, `nlohmann-json`) are installed automatically during CMake configure when the toolchain file is provided.
+- On Linux the example links directly against the in-tree target `privatebinapi`. On Windows it additionally copies the DLL next to the example executable after build.
+- PrivateBin delete operation is performed via HTTP POST (per API), not HTTP DELETE.

 ### Windows (PowerShell) – Build via build_thinkpad.bat

 - If Ninja is not available, you can use the VS generator, but Ninja is recommended for clang.
 - You can override `LLVM_PROFDATA` and `LLVM_COV` cache variables to absolute tool paths if needed.

+- Example: `build\example\Release\example.exe` (also included in the zip if present)

+Notes:
+
+- Ensure Visual Studio 2022 Build Tools (C++ workload) and Windows 11 SDK are installed.
+- The example links against the in-tree library target. The script copies DLL/LIB/PDB (if available), headers, README, and LICENSE into the package.
