Changelog

All notable changes to Generous.nz are recorded here, grouped by version. Every deployed build has a version number, a git tag, and an entry below.

Versioning scheme

Versions follow MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH:

0.x — pre-launch. Minor bumps mark a completed build phase or major feature set; patches are bug fixes on the current build.
1.0.0 — first public launch.
1.x+ — post-launch: minor = new features, patch = fixes, major = breaking changes or significant re-architecture.

Each version is tagged in git (v0.2.0) and the current version is kept in package.json. See docs/version-control.md for how to cut a release.

Replaced the generic "Application error: a client-side exception" page with a friendly recovery screen. When an old tab hits a stale JS chunk after a deploy, it now reloads automatically and the page just works — no more dead-end error screens after purchases.

Admin → Voucher design now has a "Download sample PDF" button that generates the exact PDF a buyer receives, so the design can be checked before any real voucher sells.

Purchase celebration confetti now works when the visitor has reduced motion / animations enabled off (e.g. Windows "Animation effects" off in Edge). Previously the confetti was hidden entirely, so load and the "Celebrate again" button appeared to do nothing. It now shows a static burst that fades out — no movement, but a visible celebration.

PDF vouchers now show the fundraiser's name alongside its title in the "Supporting" line, so the buyer always sees what the purchase supports.

Complete voucher experience: design, PDFs, and redemption tracking.

Voucher emails and pages redesigned as a proper coupon: bold code card, "what it's for", "who it's from" (the business), "Supporting" (the fundraiser), how to redeem, conditions, amount paid and purchase ID.
Real downloadable PDF vouchers (/api/voucher/[orderId]/pdf) in a branded A5 coupon layout.
Voucher links now use a stable per-order token, so downloads keep working even if AUTH_SECRET is rotated (old links that broke on rotation remain broken — new ones are permanent).
Admin → Voucher design preview shows the exact buyer-facing voucher layout with sample data.
Wholesalers can mark sold vouchers as redeemed from their voucher sales page; codes stay assigned to their buyer, with gift recipients recorded.

The fundraiser's sales view now states that voucher codes for wholesale items are never shown to the fundraiser — they see the item sold and that the business has received the order and emailed the customer.
Purchase confirmation now offers a "Download PDF" button alongside view and print.

Stop hourly "add a payment card" reminder spam.

Fundraisers with unpaid platform fees but no saved card were emailed the "Add a payment card" reminder on every hourly billing run. Reminders are now throttled to once per billing period (7 days by default) using a new lastCardReminderAt timestamp on each fundraiser.
The hourly cron's reminder count now reflects emails actually sent rather than reminder attempts.

Exciting payment notifications for fundraisers.

Fundraisers now receive a celebratory "🎉 WhooHoo! You received a payment" email for every donation, sale on their page, and wholesale commission sale — with the amount, supporter name, a dashboard link, and a share-your-page prompt.
The new email is editable in Admin → Email templates ("Payment received (fundraiser)") with shortcodes, and can be previewed and test-sent.

The plain "New order to fulfil" email for fundraiser-owned listings is replaced by the celebratory payment email, which also carries the fulfilment reminder and buyer contact details so orders are still actioned.
Donations and wholesale sales now notify the fundraiser owner (previously they were silent).

Direct NZ Post parcel tracking links.

The "Track your delivery" link in purchaser shipping emails now goes straight to the parcel on NZ Post's tracking site when a tracking number is supplied, instead of opening the generic tracking homepage.
