docs: Add Identifiers Changelog entry

- Import additional exception classes from `src/interfaces/Exceptions`
- Modify `Inject` function to:
  - Accept `init` parameter as a function or `true` for instantiation
  - Throw specific errors: `DependencyResolutionError`, `InjectorError`, `NoInstantiationMethodError`
  - Ensure necessary dependencies are handled properly
  - Define property with `Object.defineProperty` for performance
- Add `hasConstructor` helper function to check if an object has a constructor

+# Changelog
+
+All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.
+
+The format is based on [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.1.0/),
+and this project adheres to [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.html).
+
+## [Unreleased]
+
+### Added
+
+- feat: Add a full description of `Identifiers` as JSDoc comment.
+  This establishes the definition of what an `Identifiers` is.
+
+
+### Deprecated
+
+
+### Removed
+
+
+### Fixed
+
+
+### Security
+
+
+## [0.0.14]
+
+### Added
+
+- Added **ChangeLog** file and format it according to [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.1.0/).
+- Added reference to **Semantic Versioning** in the changelog file. (History will be updated on time).
+- Version format is now `v0.0.0` instead of `0.0.0`. Changes to this are also reflected in the workflos.
+- Add `Identifiers` and `Jest` Sections to the `README.md` file.
+- feat: Add new Error `InitializationError` to reflect errors during initialization of a dependency.
+- feat: Add initialization error handling and refactor Inject.
+- feat: After injecting a dependency, the lazzy loading getter will be replaced with the dependency itself.
+- feat: remove the use of a private property to store the injected dependencies. Now the dependencies are stored in the property itself.
+- test: Add tests for the new features.
+
+
+### Deprecated
+
+- Deprecated the old version format `0.0.0`.
+
+### Removed
+
+
+### Fixed

 ## Configuration
 
+### Identifiers
+
+Strings and symbols are possible for the **identifiers**.
+
 ### Jest
 
+For the use of TSinjex with Jest, the corresponding source files can be found under `./src` of the TSinjex node_module folder. To use these files, the `moduleNameMapper` must be configured in the Jest configuration file. The following example shows how to configure the Jest configuration file to use the source files of TSinjex.

 /**
- * The dependency identifier.
- * You can use any string as identifier.
- * To create order, it is also possible to
- * provide these with a separator: `GroupA.ClassZ`.
- * The convection for naming is as follows:
- * The name should generally correspond to the interface that is relevant.
- * I.e. a class `ClassA` that implements the interface `IClassA` and is
- * registered as a dependent class is registered under the interface name `IClassA`.
+ * ## The dependency identifier
+ *
+ * You can use any string or Symbol as identifier. The identifier is used to
+ * register a class in the TSinjex DI (Dependency Injection) container.
+ * See **Hierarchical identifiers** for more information on `.` in identifiers.
+ *
+ * ### Hierarchical identifiers
+ * To create hierarchical identifiers, you can use a dot `.` as a separator.
+ * E.g. `Parent.Child` or `Parent.Child.Grandchild`.
+ *
+ * ### Merge functionality
+ * You can merge multiple dependencies into one by resolving them with
+ * a identifier that is a prefix of the actual identifiers.
+ * E.g. `Parent` resolves `Parent.*` and returns a mixin of all children.
+ * Merging will only work, if the main identifier is not registered.
+ * Grandchildren are not included in the mixin but you can use something like
+ * `Parent.Child.Grandchild` to merge all direct children of Grandchild,
+ * e.g. `Parent.Child.Grandchild.*`.
+ * If you don't want to allow merging, you must register the dependencies
+ * with the full identifier. E.g. `Parent` or `Parent.Child.Grandchild`.
+ *
+ * ### Naming convention
+ * The name of a dependency should generally correspond to the interface that is implemented.
+ * E.g. a class `ClassA` that implements the interface `IClassA` and is registered
+ * as a dependent class is registered under the interface name `IClassA`.
+ *
+ * The mixin parts of the class are registered under the interface name `IClassA.*`.
+ * E.g. `IClassA.IClassZ`, `IClassA.IClassY`, etc.
+ *
+ * #### Static/Constructor Identifier naming
+ * The identifier for a static or constructor dependency should be the same as the class name
+ * postfixed with `_`. E.g. `IClassA_` for the the static or constructor interface of class `IClassA`.
