+
+## 📄 使用说明
+
+### 📋 系统要求
+KIAUH 是一个帮助您在 Linux 系统上安装 Klipper 的脚本工具，
+它需要一个已经写入树莓派（或其他单板计算机）SD 卡的 Linux 系统。
+如果您使用树莓派，推荐使用 `Raspberry Pi OS Lite (32位或64位)` 系统镜像。
+[官方 Raspberry Pi Imager](https://www.raspberrypi.com/software/) 是将此类镜像写入 SD 卡的最简单方式。
+
+* 下载、安装并启动 Raspberry Pi Imager 后，
+选择 `Choose OS -> Raspberry Pi OS (other)`:
+
+<p align="center">
+  <img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dw-0/kiauh/master/resources/screenshots/rpi_imager1.png" alt="KIAUH logo" height="350">
+</p>
+
+* 然后选择 `Raspberry Pi OS Lite (32位)` (或如果您想使用64位版本):
+
+<p align="center">
+  <img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dw-0/kiauh/master/resources/screenshots/rpi_imager2.png" alt="KIAUH logo" height="350">
+</p>
+
+* 返回 Raspberry Pi Imager 主界面，选择对应的 SD 卡作为写入目标。
+
+* 确保点击左下角的齿轮图标（在主菜单中）
+启用 SSH 并配置 Wi-Fi。
+
+* 如果您需要更多关于使用 Raspberry Pi Imager 的帮助，请访问 [官方文档](https://www.raspberrypi.com/documentation/computers/getting-started.html)。
+
+这些步骤**仅适用于**您实际使用树莓派的情况。如果您想使用其他单板计算机（如香橙派或其他 Pi 衍生产品），
+请查找如何将合适的 Linux 镜像写入 SD 卡（通常使用 Balena Etcher）。
+同时确保 KIAUH 能够在您要安装的 Linux 发行版上运行。
+您在使用基于 Debian 11 Bullseye 的系统时可能会获得最佳体验。
+请阅读本文档下方的注意事项。
+
+### 💾 下载并使用 KIAUH
+
+**📢 免责声明：使用此脚本的风险由您自行承担！**
+
+* **第一步：**
+要下载此脚本，需要先安装 git。
+如果您不确定是否已安装 git，请运行以下命令：
+```shell
+sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install git -y
+```
+
+* **第二步：**
+安装完 git 后，
+使用以下命令将 KIAUH 下载到您的主目录：
+
+```shell
+cd ~ && git clone https://github.com/dw-0/kiauh.git
+```
+
+* **第三步：**
+最后，通过运行以下命令启动 KIAUH：
+
+```shell
+./kiauh/kiauh.sh
+```
+
+* **第四步：**
+您现在应该会看到 KIAUH 的主菜单。
+根据您的选择，
+您会看到几个可选操作。
+要选择某个操作，只需在 "Perform action" 提示后输入对应的数字并按回车键确认。
+
+## ❗ 注意事项
+
+### **📋 请查看 [更新日志](docs/changelog.md) 以了解可能的重要更新！**
+
+- 主要在 Raspberry Pi OS Lite (Debian 10 Buster / Debian 11 Bullseye) 上测试
+    - 其他基于 Debian 的发行版（如 Ubuntu 20 到 22）也可能正常工作
+    - 据报告在 Armbian 上也可用，但未进行详细测试
+- 在使用此脚本的过程中，
+您会被要求输入 sudo 密码。
+因为有几个功能需要 sudo 权限。

 This document covers possible important changes to KIAUH.

+### 2025-10-10 (v6.0.0)
+
+KIAUH has now reached version 6! The majority of the changes mentioned in the
+previous changelog are now available in the final version.
+Most notible are the following changes:
+
+- The dialog for selecting between v5 and v6 is gone and all v5 code was
+  removed. V6 is the new default
+- You can add/remove alternative repositories for Klipper and Moonraker from
+  within KIAUH, no need to manually edit any file
+- You can store and load firmware configurations for Klipper during the firmware
+  compilation process
+- Spoolman is available as an extension, it does not use the bare-metal
+  installation anymore, instead it uses the Docker Container approach
+- OctoApp is available as an extension
+- OctoPrint support was NOT killed. OctoPrint is available as an extension
+- I probably forgot to mention some other changes, but the idea is to create
+  official docs for KIAUH where the new changelog will live in the future and
+  available features and mechanics are explained in detail
+
+If you really want to use v5, there is a v5 branch available in the repository.
+Keep in mind that v5 will not be updated anymore.
+
 ### 2024-08-31 (v6.0.0-alpha.1)
+
 Long time no see, but here we are again!
-A lot has happened in the background, but now it is time to take it out into the wild.

 #### KIAUH has now reached version 6! Well, at least in an alpha state...

 The project has seen a complete rewrite of the script from scratch in Python.
-It requires Python 3.8 or newer to run. Because this update is still in an alpha state, bugs may or will occur.
-During startup, you will be asked if you want to start the new version 6 or the old version 5.
-As long as version 6 is in a pre-release state, version 5 will still be available. If there are any critical issues
-with the new version that were overlooked, you can always switch back to the old version.

-In case you selected not to get asked about which version to start (option 3 or 4 in the startup dialog) and you want to
-revert that decision, you will find a line called `version_to_launch=` within the `.kiauh.ini` file in your home directory.
-Just delete that line, save the file and restart KIAUH. KIAUH will then ask you again which version you want to start.

 Here is a list of the most important changes to KIAUH in regard to version 6:
- The majority of features available in KIAUH v5 are still available; they just got migrated from Bash to Python.
- It is now possible to add new/remove instances to/from existing multi-instance installations of Klipper and Moonraker
- KIAUH now has an Extension-System. This allows contributors to add new installers to KIAUH without having to modify the main script.
-    - You will now find some of the features that were previously available in the Installer-Menu in the Extensions-Menu.

 KIAUH has now reached major version 5 !

-The version jump of KIAUH to v5 is a breaking change due to those major changes! That means v4 and v5 are not compatible with each other!
-This is also the reason why you will currently be greeted by a yellow notification in the main menu of KIAUH leading to this changelog.
-I decided to disable a few functions of the script and focus on releasing the required changes to the core components of this script.
-I will work on updating the other parts of the script piece by piece during the next days/weeks.
-So I am already sorry in advance if one of your desired components you wanted to install or use temporarily cannot be installed or used right now.

+Nothing important to think about, install Klipper and Moonraker. KIAUH will

 **What if I have an existing Klipper/Moonraker install?**\
-First of all: Backups! Please copy all of your config files and the Moonraker database (it is a hidden folder, usually `~/.moonraker_database`) to a safe location.
-After that, uninstall Klipper and Moonraker with KIAUH. You can then proceed and re-install both of them with KIAUH again. It is important that you are on KIAUH v5 for that!
-Once everything is installed again, you need to manually copy your configuration files from the old `~/klipper_config` folder to the new `~/printer_data/config` folder.
-Previous, by Moonraker created symlinks to folder of the old filestructure will not work anymore, you need to move the files to their new location now!
-Do the same with the two files inside of `~/.moonraker_database`. Move/copy them into `~/printer_data/database`. If `~/printer_data/database` is already populated with a `data.mdb` and `lock.mdb`
-delete them or simply overwrite them. Nothing should be lost as those should be empty database files. Anyway, you made backups, right?
-You can now proceed and restart Moonraker. Either from within Mainsail or Fluidd, or use SSH and execute `sudo systemctl restart moonraker`.
-If everything went smooth, you should be good to go again. If you see some Moonraker warnings about deprecated options in the `moonraker.conf`, go ahead and resolve them.

-Make backups of everything first. Then remove and install the desired amount of Klipper and Moonraker instances again.

 Now you need to move all config and database files to their new locations.\
 Example with an instance called `printer_1`:\
-The config files go from `~/klipper_config/printer_1` to `~/printer_1_data/config`.
-The database files go from `~/.moonraker_database_1` to `~/printer_1_data/database`.
-Now restart all Moonraker services. You can restart all of them at once if you launch KIAUH, and in the main menu type `restart moonraker` and hit Enter.
+The config files go from `~/klipper_config/printer_1` to
+`~/printer_1_data/config`.

-I hope I have covered the most important things. In case you need further support, the official Klipper Discord is a good place to ask for help.

-* Updated the doc for the usage of the [G-Code Shell Command Extension](docs/gcode_shell_command.md)
-* It became apparent, that some user groups are missing on some systems. A missing video group \
-membership for example caused issues when installing mjpg-streamer while not using the default pi user. \
-Other issues could occur when trying to flash an MCU on Debian or Ubuntu distributions where a user might not be part
-of the dialout group by default. A check for the tty group is also done. The tty group is needed for setting
-up a linux MCU (currently not yet supported by KIAUH).
-* There is an issue when trying to install Mainsail or Fluidd on Ubuntu 21.10. Permissions on that distro seem to have seen a rework
- in comparison to 20.04 and users will be greeted with an "Error 403 - Permission denied" message after installing one of Klippers webinterfaces.
-I still have to figure out a viable solution for that.

-* Moonraker introduced an optional `log_path` which clients can make use of to show log files located in that folder to their users. More info here: https://github.com/Arksine/moonraker/commit/829b3a4ee80579af35dd64a37ccc092a1f67682a \
-Client developers agreed upon using `~/klipper_logs` as the new default log path.\
-That means, from now on, Klipper and Moonraker services installed with KIAUH will place their logfiles in that mentioned folder.
-* Additionally, KIAUH will now detect Klipper and Moonraker systemd services that still use the old default location of `/tmp/<service>.log` and will update them next time the user updates Klipper and/or Moonraker with the KIAUH update function.
-* Additional symlinks for the following logfiles will get created along those update procedures to make them accessible through the webinterface once its supported:

 * **This is a big one... KIAUH v3.0 is out.**\
-With this update you can now install multiple instances of Klipper, Moonraker, Duet Web Control or Octoprint on the same Pi. This was quite a big rework of the whole script. So bugs can appear but with the help of some testers, i think there shouldn't be any critical ones anymore. In this regards thanks to @lixxbox and @zellneralex for testing.

-* Important changes to how installations are set up now: All components get installed as systemd services. Installation via init.d was dropped completely! This shouldn't affect you at all, since the common linux distributions like RaspberryPi OS or custom distributions like MainsailOS, FluiddPi or OctoPi support both ways of installing services. I just wanted to mention it here.

-* Now with KIAUH v3.0 and multi-instance installation capabilities, there are some things to point out. You will now need to tell KIAUH where your printers configurations are located when installing Klipper for the first time. Even though it is not recommended, you can change this location with the help of KIAUH and rewrite Klipper and Moonraker to use the new location.

-* When setting up a multi-instance system, the folder structure will only change slightly. The goal was to keep it as compatible as possible with the custom distributions like mainsailOS and FluiddPi. This should help converting a single-instance setup of mainsailOS/FluiddPi to a multi-instance setup in no time, but keeping single-instance backwards compatibility if needed at a later point in time.

-* Some changes to Fluidd caused a little rework on how KIAUH will install/update Fluidd from now on. Please see the [fluidd v1.0.0-rc0 release notes](https://github.com/cadriel/fluidd/releases/tag/v1.0.0-rc.0) for further information about what modifications to the moonraker.conf file exactly had to be done. In a nutshell, KIAUH will now always patch the required entries to the moonraker.conf if not already there.

 * The user can now choose to install Klipper as a systemd service.

-* The Shell Command extension and `shell_command.py` got renamed to G-Code Shell Command extension and `gcode_shell_command.py`. In case the [pending PR](https://github.com/KevinOConnor/klipper/pull/2173) will be merged in the future, this was an early attempt to dodge possible incompatibilities. The [G-Code Shell Command docs](gcode_shell_command.md) has been updated accordingly.

-* The way how KIAUH interacts and writes to the users printer.cfg got changed. Usually KIAUH wrote everything directly into the printer.cfg. The way it will work from now on is, that a new file called `kiauh.cfg` will be created if there is something that needs to be written to the printer.cfg and everything gets written to `kiauh.cfg` instead. The only thing which then gets written to the users printer.cfg is `[include kiauh.cfg]`. This line will be located at the very top of the existing printer.cfg with a little comment as a note. The user can then decide to either keep the `kiauh.cfg` or take its content, places it into the printer.cfg directly and remove the `[include kiauh.cfg]`.

 A custom config parser inspired by Python's configparser module.
 Specialized for handling Klipper style config files.

+---
+
+### When parsing a config file, it will be split into the following elements:
+- Header: All lines before the first section
+- Section: A section is defined by a line starting with a `[` and ending with a `]`
+- Option: A line starting with a word, followed by a `:` or `=` and a value
+- Option Block: A line starting with a word, followed by a `:` or `=` and a newline
+  - The word `gcode` is excluded from being treated as an option block
+- Gcode Block: A line starting with the word `gcode`, followed by a `:` or `=` and a newline
+  - All indented lines following the gcode line are considered part of the gcode block
+- Comment: A line starting with a `#` or `;`
+- Blank: A line containing only whitespace characters
+- SaveConfig Block: Klippers auto-generated SAVE_CONFIG section that can be found at the very end of the config file
