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.
[0.9.301] — 2026-09-04
Changed
- Home page: new hero badge ("New Zealand's only AI powered hybrid fundraising platform"), reworded hero ("Raise money by selling items and accepting donations — all in one fundraiser"), added "Donors can cover the fee so you keep 100% of every gift", a new "Raise money your way" checklist section before How it works, and a wider closing paragraph on the dark section.
[0.9.300] — 2026-09-04
Changed
- Register page trust bullet now reads "Payouts to your NZ bank account".
[0.9.299] — 2026-09-04
Changed
- Register page "See what you could sell" product display: bigger section heading and wider display area, larger product images and titles, and a larger, bolder "Sell this to make up to $XX per sale" line. Removed the Community Campaign direct-buy mentions from the intro copy and the product card.
[0.9.298] — 2026-09-04
Changed
- Register page hero now says "paid straight to your NZ bank account" and the fee-free box reads "No platform fees until you've raised $250. After that it's 5% + GST on what you raise — and donors can choose to cover it so you keep 100% of every gift" (with the key numbers bold).
- "See what you could sell" now rotates through up to the 50 most recent products instead of 8 (indicator dots cap at 12 so a large pool doesn't clutter the carousel).
[0.9.297] — 2026-09-04
Added
- Business page "The offer for your business" now includes an "Automatic voucher creation & sending" card covering auto-generated unique codes, instant email delivery on purchase and gift delivery.

Changed
- Business page "AI watches every sale" section: the four fraud-protection bullets are now one flowing paragraph with inline checkmarks.
[0.9.295] — 2026-09-04
Changed
- Business page AI-fraud card now reads "Every order, fundraiser and delivery address is AI screened for fraud before you see it. Anything suspicious goes to a human reviewer — so it's not your problem to police."
[0.9.294] — 2026-09-04
Changed
- Business page "No sales? No charge" card now reads "If nothing sells, you owe nothing. No subscriptions, no setup fees — 100% free to start."
