+### Added
+ - Added a new constructor parameter called `path` which is an optional parameter that allows you to specify the path to
+   the configuration files directory. If not specified the library will proceed with resolving

+   the `CONFIGLIB_PATH` environment variable if it is set.

 This update fixes a critical bug where configuration files may not be found when using different user accounts,
 especially when the configuration file is located in a directory that is not accessible by the user account running the
