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.

Campaign types in the sidebar.

The "Campaign type" dropdown is gone from the fundraiser form. Each type (Donations, Product sales, Event tickets, Raffle, Peer-to-peer, Supporter subscriptions) is now its own item in the dashboard sidebar, grouped under "New fundraiser" and stacked one under the other.
The form presets to the chosen type (e.g. a Raffle link opens the form with the raffle fields ready) and shows which type is being set up.

Remove duplicate category dropdown.

The "Category" dropdown on the fundraiser form is gone — it duplicated the "What are you fundraising for?" checkboxes. The category is now chosen automatically from the reasons ticked (e.g. "Religious / church / faith group" maps to Church).

Business page sales highlights.

The "AI protection" section on the /business page now fills the width with a two-column layout. A new "Sales highlights" box sits beside "Why it matters to you" covering supporter reach, the free first $1,000, one-click listing and ready-to-fulfil orders.

Remove AI story generator.

Removed the "Generate with AI" button from the fundraiser story field on both the create and edit pages. The story is now written directly, without relying on the AI provider.

Draft fundraiser preview.

Draft fundraisers no longer 404 for their owner, their organisation or site staff — the page opens as a preview with a banner explaining it isn't live yet, and donation/purchase forms are hidden until approved.
Anyone else still gets a 404, and draft titles are kept out of link previews.

Automatic voucher delivery.

Removed the manual "How vouchers are delivered" field from the product form. Voucher delivery is handled automatically: the code is emailed to the buyer (and gift recipient, when applicable) with a printable voucher as soon as the purchase goes through.
The form now explains this on voucher products. Existing stored notes are preserved and still appear in voucher emails.

Group discount codes (platform fee discounts).

Fundraiser sign-up now has an optional "Group discount code" field. A code from a school, club or group gives that account a percentage off platform fees for the life of the account.
New admin page (Admin → Discount codes) to create and manage codes: discount percentage, optional expiry date, optional max signups, pause / resume, edit and delete.
Discounts apply automatically everywhere the platform fee is calculated: donations, product orders, wholesale splits and the weekly platform fee invoices.

Each signup claims one slot against a code's max signups. Once an account has the discount it keeps applying while the code is active and unexpired; pausing, expiring or deleting the code stops the discount for everyone using it (accounts themselves are not affected).

Voucher codes follow the product type.

The "Voucher codes" section on the edit product page now appears and disappears with the Type selector in the form, instead of only reflecting the saved type.
Switching a product from Voucher to Physical keeps all voucher codes on file — they are not deleted and reappear if the type is switched back. A note on the form confirms this while the type is set to Physical.
