+## Change Log
+
+- [1.0.1 (2)] - 2022-12-08 `[Changed]`
+    - Changed to delay creation of `StableDiffusionPipeline` until the first image 
+    generation and execute it in a background task.
+    - This eliminates the freeze when starting the app, but it takes time 
+    to generate the first image.
+    - Tested with Xcode 4.2 RC and macOS 13.1 RC.
+    - With the release of Xcode 14.2 RC, the correct Target OS 16.2 was specified.

 ## Convert CoreML models
 
 Convert the PyTorch SD2 model to CoreML models, following Apple's instructions.
