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.

Checkout reliability.

Simple product purchases now use a normal, same-site form submission and a server-side Stripe redirect, avoiding browser fetch requests that can stall under strict privacy or extension policies.

Checkout redirect resilience.

Added a visible, secure Stripe Checkout fallback link when a browser blocks the automatic cross-site redirect after a checkout session is created.

Automation-failure resolution.

Added a clear Mark resolved action for configuration-only automation failures that cannot be safely replayed, such as an already-corrected webhook signing-secret mismatch.

Durable automation-failure handling.

Added a durable Automation failures section to the moderation queue.
Referral qualification failures can be retried safely by a moderator.
Stripe order/payment webhook processing failures are recorded for review and returned to Stripe for automatic delivery retry.

Stopped logging raw Stripe webhook payloads after signature verification failures; the queue now records a safe operational summary instead.

Launch settings confirmation.

Recorded the owner-confirmed 5% business platform fee and first $1,000 of business sales fee-free offer, and updated the go-live plan to the current production release and migration range.

Coupon controls and referral rewards.

Added separate fundraiser and business referral links, with tracked visits, sign-ups, successful set-ups and fee-free volume earned.
Referral attribution is automatic for 30 days and credits rewards only after the referred account completes the relevant go-live checklist.
Fundraiser referrals grant the new fundraiser $100 fee-free volume and the referrer $50; business referrals grant the referrer $200 fee-free sales.
Added coupon audiences, optional duration and wholesale fee-rate handling.

Wholesale coupons replace the normal $1,000 free-sales offer while active; they do not stack with it. Referral-earned free-sales volume resumes after a coupon ends.

Launch sign-off record.

Recorded the project owner's legal and tax sign-off in the go-live plan and handoff, while clearly noting it is not independent professional advice.

Backup documentation correction.

Corrected the handoff and go-live plan to show that daily local and off-site backups are active and scheduled at 2:30am and 3:00am NZ time respectively.
