+## v1.5.0 - Planned
+
+### Upcoming Release: Image Generation System Overhaul
+
+This release will focus on improving the image generation system with better model support, fixed aspect ratios, and enhanced quality tier selection.
+
+---
+
+### 🖼️ Image Generation Improvements (PLANNED)
+
+**Quality Tier Models:**
+- **Basic (1 credit):** Hi Dream Full (`runware:97@1`) - Fast, general-purpose diffusion
+- **Quality (5 credits):** Bria 3.2 (`bria:10@1`) - Balanced quality
+- **Premium (15 credits):** Nano Banana (`google:4@2`) - Highest quality
+
+**Fixed Image Sizes:**
+- Featured Image: 1792×1024 (landscape, prominent)
+- In-Article Square: 1024×1024
+- In-Article Landscape: Model-dependent (1280×768 or 1344×768)
+
+**In-Article Image Pattern:**
+- Position 0: Square 1024×1024
+- Position 1: Landscape (model-specific)
+- Position 2: Square 1024×1024
+- Position 3: Landscape (model-specific)
+
+**UI Changes:**
+- Removed mobile image options from settings
+- Image progress modal width increased
+- Unique position constraints for in-article images
+
+---
+
+### 💰 Credit Service Enhancements (PLANNED)
+
+**New Methods:**
+- `CreditService.calculate_credits_for_image()` - Model-specific image credit calculation
+- `CreditService.calculate_credits_from_tokens_by_model()` - Model-specific token-to-credit conversion
+
+**Improvements:**
+- Better fallback to global defaults when model lacks configuration
+- Enhanced logging for credit calculations
+- Validation for missing `credits_per_image` or `tokens_per_credit`
+
+---
+
+### 📋 Planning Documentation
+
+**New Files:**
+- `docs/plans/4th-jan-refactor/IMAGE_MODELS_IMPLEMENTATION_PLAN.md` - Detailed image system implementation plan
+- `docs/plans/4th-jan-refactor/REFACTOR-OVERVIEW.md` - Architecture refactor overview
+- `docs/plans/4th-jan-refactor/implementation-plan-for-ai-models-and-cost.md` - AI models and cost plan
+- `docs/plans/4th-jan-refactor/safe-migration-and-testing-plan.md` - Migration and testing strategy
