 ## New Features
 
-### VM Creation Enhancements
-- Added padded counter functionality for multi-VM creation (e.g., "Prefix-00001")
-- Added AutoSMBIOS capability parameters for setting realistic hardware information
-- Added Microsoft VMBIOS profile for SMBIOS settings
-- Enhanced existing manufacturer profiles with more business-class workstations and servers
-- Improved serial number generation for major non-VM vendors
+### Automatic Connection Handling
+- Added automatic connection handling so cmdlets use the default connection without explicitly passing it
+- Added a global `DefaultProxmoxConnection` variable that stores the most recent connection
+- Created a base `ProxmoxCmdlet` class that all cmdlets can inherit from
+- Updated all cmdlets to use the base class and make the Connection parameter optional
 
-### SMBIOS Improvements
-- Only generate random UUIDs if one is not already present
-- Added more realistic hardware information for Dell, HP, Lenovo, and Microsoft devices
-- Added support for both server and workstation profiles for each manufacturer
+### Test-ProxmoxConnection Cmdlet
+- Added a new cmdlet to test if a connection is valid and active
+- Added a `-Detailed` parameter to get comprehensive connection information
+- The cmdlet can test either a specified connection or the default connection
 
-## Documentation
-- Added comprehensive documentation for the new features
-- Added example scripts for using padded counters and SMBIOS settings
-- Updated existing documentation to reflect the new capabilities
+### Connection Object Improvements
+- Added a custom `ToString()` method to the `ProxmoxConnection` class
+- The connection now displays as "Proxmox Connection: username@realm on server:port (Authenticated)"
+- This makes it easier to see connection details in the console
 
-## Bug Fixes
-- Fixed module loading issues by using PSM1 file and NestedModules
-- Fixed type mismatch between ProxmoxConnectionInfo and ProxmoxConnection classes
+### Documentation Updates
+- Updated all documentation and examples to use the new automatic connection handling
+- Added documentation for the new `Test-ProxmoxConnection` cmdlet
+- Updated the README.md examples to use the default connection
+
+## Usage Examples
+
+**Old way (explicit connection):**
+```powershell
+$connection = Connect-ProxmoxServer -Server "proxmox.example.com" -Credential (Get-Credential)
+$vms = Get-ProxmoxVM -Connection $connection
+Disconnect-ProxmoxServer -Connection $connection
+```
+
+**New way (automatic connection):**
+```powershell
+Connect-ProxmoxServer -Server "proxmox.example.com" -Credential (Get-Credential)
+$vms = Get-ProxmoxVM
+$connection = Test-ProxmoxConnection -Detailed
+Disconnect-ProxmoxServer -Connection $connection
+```
