+# spp_event_spec_loader - Improvements Log
+
+## Version 17.0.1.0.0 - File Upload Support
+
+### Changes Made Based on User Feedback
+
+#### ✅ 1. Removed Unnecessary XML Demo Data
+
+**Issue**: XML demo data with embedded YAML was unnecessary and not user-friendly.
+
+**Solution**: 
+- ❌ Deleted `data/demo_program_spec.xml`
+- ❌ Removed demo data reference from `__manifest__.py`
+
+**Benefit**: Users now work with actual YAML files instead of XML-wrapped data.
+
+---
+
+#### ✅ 2. Added Binary Field for File Upload
+
+**Issue**: Users had to manually paste YAML content, which is inconvenient for large specifications.
+
+**Solution**: Added file upload capability with the following fields:
+
+```python
+# New fields in spp.program.spec
+yaml_file = fields.Binary(
+    string="Upload YAML File",
+    help="Upload a YAML program specification file"
+)
+yaml_filename = fields.Char(string="Filename")
+```
+
+**Features**:
+- ✅ Binary field for file upload
+- ✅ Automatic parsing of uploaded file
+- ✅ Auto-population of `yaml_content` field
+- ✅ Support for `.yaml` and `.yml` files
+- ✅ UTF-8 encoding support
+- ✅ Error handling for invalid file formats
+
+---
+
+#### ✅ 3. Enhanced User Interface
+
+**New "Upload YAML" Tab**:
+```xml
+<page name="yaml_upload" string="Upload YAML">
+    <group>
+        <field name="yaml_file" filename="yaml_filename" />
+        <field name="yaml_filename" invisible="1" />
+    </group>
+    <div class="alert alert-info">
+        <strong>How to use:</strong>
+        <ul>
+            <li>Upload a YAML file using the button above, OR</li>
+            <li>Manually enter/edit YAML in the "YAML Specification" tab</li>
+        </ul>
+    </div>
+</page>
+```
+
+**Benefits**:
+- Clear instructions for users
+- Two ways to provide YAML (upload OR manual entry)
+- User-friendly interface
+
+---
+
+#### ✅ 4. Added Export Functionality
+
+**New Feature**: Export/Download YAML as file
+
+```python
+def action_export_yaml(self):
+    """Export YAML specification as a downloadable file"""
+    # Creates downloadable .yaml file
+```
+
+**Benefits**:
+- ✅ Download current specification
+- ✅ Version control friendly
+- ✅ Easy sharing with team members
+- ✅ Backup capability
+
+**Usage**: Click "Export YAML" button in header
+
+---
+
+#### ✅ 5. Improved Validation
+
+**Enhanced Constraint**:
+```python
+@api.constrains("yaml_content", "yaml_file")
+def _check_yaml_valid(self):
+    # Ensures either file or content is provided
+    # Validates YAML syntax
+```
+
+**Benefits**:
+- Ensures data integrity
+- Better error messages
+- Validates both upload and manual entry
+
+---
+
+### Updated Workflow
+
+#### Old Workflow
+```
+1. Create record
+2. Manually paste YAML content
+3. Validate
+4. Deploy
+```
+
+#### New Workflow
+```
+1. Create record
+2. Upload YAML file OR paste content
+3. Content auto-populates
+4. Validate
+5. Deploy
+6. (Optional) Export for backup
+```
+
+---
+
+### Technical Details
+
+#### File Upload Implementation
+
+**Auto-populate on Upload**:
+```python
+@api.onchange("yaml_file")
+def _onchange_yaml_file(self):
+    """Auto-populate yaml_content when file is uploaded"""
+    if self.yaml_file:
+        import base64
+        file_content = base64.b64decode(self.yaml_file)
+        self.yaml_content = file_content.decode('utf-8')
+```
+
+**Export Implementation**:
+```python
+def action_export_yaml(self):
+    """Export YAML specification as a downloadable file"""
+    filename = f"{self.code or 'program_spec'}.yaml"
+    file_content = self.yaml_content.encode('utf-8')
+    file_data = base64.b64encode(file_content)
+    
+    return {
+        'type': 'ir.actions.act_url',
+        'url': f'/web/content/spp.program.spec/{self.id}/yaml_file/{filename}?download=true',
+        'target': 'self',
+    }
+```
