 - This `CHANGELOG.md` file.
 - Prim-node rename (class and internal name, too): `Upscale Strategy (Best-Res)` -> `Crop-Pad Strategy (Best-Res)`
 - Inputs/outputs for upscale-related nodes are renamed to be more intuitive.
+- `Best-Res (area+scale)`: change (restore) the value returned by `upscale` output.
