+- Optimized final package size (reduced by 30% to 50%) by explicitly including necessary plugins/DLLs and excluding unnecessary ones with Nuitka [#47](https://github.com/AresValley/Artemis/issues/47)
+
+### Fixed
+- When the links/urls in the description field of a signal are clicked, they open the default browser [#46](https://github.com/AresValley/Artemis/issues/46)
+- Fixed an error occurig on Linux where configuration file path are not properly resolved during startup with the binary version of the program (they are if running from source) [#48](https://github.com/AresValley/Artemis/issues/48)

+## [4.0.1] - 2024-06-9
 ### Added
 - Database format has been changed from .csv to a proper relational DB (sqlite) which is much easier handled thanks to the native library shipped with python
 - Possibility to create an arbitrary number of new databases for storing new custom signals

 ## 1. Kp Index
 The **K index** is a number (from 0 to 9) that shows how much Earth's magnetic field is disturbed. A K index of 1 means things are calm, while a K index of 5 or higher indicates a geomagnetic storm. These disturbances are measured with magnetometers that track changes in Earth's magnetic field every three hours. The K itself comes from a German word "Kennziffer" meaning "characteristic digit". To get a big picture of what's happening around the world, an official planetary **Kp index** is calculated. This is done by averaging the K indices from a special network of 13 geomagnetic observatories located around the globe at mid-latitudes.
 
-## 2. A Index
-The **A index** represents the three-hourly equivalent amplitude of geomagnetic activity at a specific magnetometer station, derived from the station-specific K index. Due to the quasi-logarithmic nature of the K-scale in relation to magnetometer fluctuations, directly averaging a set of K indices is not really meaningful. Instead each K is converted back into a linear scale. The **Ap index** is determined by averaging the eight daily A values, providing a measure of geomagnetic activity for a specific day. Days with higher levels of geomagnetic activity correspond to higher daily Ap values.

+|**Kp 7**|Strong Storm (G3)|Very strong auroral display|Strong auroral display extremely likely|Large CMEs caused by solar storms or flares, very enhanced solar wind with strong shock wave|
+|**Kp 8**|Severe Storm (G4)|Extremely strong aurora, long periods of substorming|Strong auroral display extremely likely|Vide supra|
+|**Kp 9**|Extreme Storm (G5)|Extremely strong aurora, long periods of substorming|Very strong auroral display, overhead aurora possible|Super CMEs, Carrington-class events, devastating solar wind with extreme shock waves|

+The **A index** represents the three-hourly equivalent amplitude of geomagnetic activity at a specific magnetometer station, derived from the station-specific K index. Due to the quasi-logarithmic nature of the K-scale in relation to magnetometer fluctuations, directly averaging a set of K indices is not really meaningful. Instead each K is converted back into a linear scale. The **Ap index** is determined by averaging the eight daily Ap values (3-hour) and using the same stations grid explained for the Kp index in the previous section. This provides a measure of geomagnetic activity for a specific day. Days with higher levels of geomagnetic activity correspond to higher daily Ap values.
