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.

[0.9.9] — 2026-08-24

AI token efficiency pass — every AI call tightened.

Changed

  • Tighter prompts everywhere: moderation/review prompts, order fraud screening, campaign risk scoring and the fundraiser-reasons check were rewritten to be short and specific (JSON-only replies, no filler).
  • Per-task output caps (max_tokens):
    • Content generation: now capped per type (80–400) instead of a flat 700.
    • Moderation/AI review: 120 (was default 300).
    • Order fraud screening: 120 (was 250).
    • Fundraiser-reasons verification: 200 (was 500).
    • Campaign risk scoring: 120 (was 200).
  • Long inputs truncated before they're sent (stories capped at ~3–4k characters, generation context at 2.5k) so prompt cost stays low.
  • Provider consistency fix: content generation and campaign risk scoring now use the configured review provider (DeepSeek preferred, OpenAI fallback) instead of only checking for an OpenAI key — so the AI tools actually run with a DeepSeek key instead of silently using template fallbacks.

[0.9.8] — 2026-08-24

Site-wide content audit for the new payment system.

Changed (non-legal pages & copy)

  • Landing page: "Get paid safely" now explains the 5% + GST fee is invoiced to the fundraiser, never taken from donations.
  • Getting started: step 6 clarified — payments go straight to your bank; wholesale commissions are paid automatically by the business; the platform fee is invoiced weekly to the card you add.
  • Business page: the example breakdown now reflects the direct-charge model (buyer pays the business $100 → $10 commission → $5.75 fee invoiced → business keeps $84.25), instead of the old "fee from the sale" wording.
  • Campaign page "Where the money goes": explains donations/sales go straight to the seller's own Stripe account and the fee is invoiced to the fundraiser.
  • Dashboard sales page: updated the split explanation and column labels — buyers pay sellers directly; wholesale suppliers are paid directly (not "from the sale"); fees shown as invoiced.
  • Connect payout account button: no longer says money is "held securely" — it's paid out by Stripe directly, and notes the fee card step.
  • Help centre: "Covering platform fees" and "Campaign settings" updated to match the invoiced-fee model and the new reasons editor.
  • Fee references aligned: the stored subscription fee reference and the PLATFORM_FEE_PERCENT constant now use 5.0 (not the old 5.75 application fee), with migration 0023_subscription_fee_percent.
  • Stripe onboarding comment/URL cleanup (Standard accounts only).

Verified

  • Fundraiser Stripe setup end to end: Standard account via hosted onboarding, account.updated sync, dashboard payout-account + fee-card steps, and the help guide all match the current flow.

[0.9.7] — 2026-08-24

Legal pages fully aligned to the SaaS/direct-charge model.

Changed

  • Audited all legal pages for leftover marketplace wording and removed it:
    • Terms of Service: platform reframed as software/tools/administration; "marketplace platform" wording removed.
    • Privacy Policy: same reframe + typo fix ("an agency"); version 2.0 with a direct-charge change note.
    • Seller Agreement: no longer describes the Platform as a "marketplace and payment facilitator"; chargebacks clarified as taken from the seller's own Stripe balance. Version corrected to 2.0.
    • Fundraiser Agreement: "marketplace items" → "catalogue items"; "hold or reverse payouts" → "pause payouts or commission invoicing".
    • Refund, Dispute and AML/CFT policies: bumped to 2.0 with change notes describing the direct-charge model (seller is merchant of record; the Platform never holds or routes money).
  • Verified the whole site (all pages and components) has no remaining "marketplace" phrasing.

[0.9.6] — 2026-08-24

Edit fundraising reasons on existing campaigns.

Added

  • Each fundraiser card on the dashboard now shows its reason tags (or "No reasons selected") with an Edit reasons / Add reasons button. Owners can change what they're fundraising for at any time, not just at creation.
  • Saving re-runs the AI verification against the story (unsupported tags removed, clearly-described tags added, flagged for review if something was removed), so edits stay honest.

[0.9.5] — 2026-08-24

Automatic IndexNow key rotation.

Added

  • Rotatable IndexNow key: the active key now lives in the database (falling back to INDEXNOW_KEY), so it can change at runtime without a deploy or restart. The verification file at /<key>.txt follows automatically.
  • Rotation cron (/api/cron/indexnow?key=…): generates a fresh 32-char key when INDEXNOW_ROTATE_DAYS has elapsed (default off; 30 is recommended). Safe to run hourly — it self-throttles to the interval. Each rotation is audited (indexnow.key_rotated).

Notes

  • Rotation is hygiene, not security: the key file is public by design. A 30-day cadence invalidates leaked copies without churning the file.

[0.9.4] — 2026-08-24

Fundraising reasons — "what are you fundraising for" tags with AI verification and business opt-outs.

Added

  • Fundraiser setup checkboxes: campaigns can tick what they're raising for (medical, education, sport, community, animals, environment, arts & culture, faith, emergency, event, other). Tags show as badges on the public campaign page.
  • AI verification in the background: the configured AI reads the story against the selected tags and removes tags the story doesn't support and adds tags it clearly describes. Changes are audited; a campaign that has a tag removed (a likely misrepresentation) is flagged in the moderation queue for human review.
  • Business opt-outs: approved businesses can tick "causes you won't fundraise for" in their wholesale dashboard. Fundraisers raising for an excluded cause can't add that business's offers — the catalogue shows "Not available for your fundraiser" and the add-to-store API rejects the add with a clear message.
  • New schema (migration 0022_fundraising_reasons): FundraisingReason enum, Fundraiser.reasons, WholesalerProfile.excludedReasons.

[0.9.3] — 2026-08-24

IndexNow — instant search-engine submission.

Added

  • IndexNow integration (lib/indexnow.ts): new and changed pages are submitted to Bing and other participating search engines the moment they go live.
  • Key file endpoint — https://generous.nz/<key>.txt is served automatically when INDEXNOW_KEY is set (any other key returns 404).
  • Automatic submissions:
    • Blog posts on publish (both /blog/<slug> and /blog), from the admin area or the external AI publishing API;
    • Fundraisers when approved and when updated (/f/<slug>);
    • Organisation storefronts on creation (/orgs/<slug>);
    • P2P supporter pages on creation (/p2p/<slug>).
  • Setup guide: docs/indexnow.md; env entry added to .env.example.

Notes

  • Submissions are best-effort and never block publishing. Batches of 25 URLs per request. Disabled entirely when INDEXNOW_KEY is unset.

[0.9.2] — 2026-08-24

Business platform fee on sales generated, with growth options.

Added

  • Business platform fee: businesses supplying the wholesale catalogue are now invoiced 5% + GST of the sales generated through fundraisers (rate via WHOLESALER_FEE_BPS, default 500 = 5%). Invoices are created on the platform's own Stripe account, auto-charged to the business's saved card on the same weekly cadence as the fundraiser fee, and appear in the business's Billing page and the admin wholesale-invoices area.
  • Free-first-$X (WHOLESALER_FREE_SALES_CENTS globally, or a per-business override in Admin → Wholesalers): the first $X of a business's lifetime sales incur no platform fee.
  • Credit vouchers: admins can grant credit to a business (feeCreditCents) that offsets future platform-fee invoices before the card is charged — the "give $X in credit" growth lever.
  • Refund/dispute fairness: when a wholesale order is refunded or lost to a chargeback, the business receives an automatic fee credit for that sale (idempotent).
  • New fields (migration 0021_business_platform_fee): WholesalerProfile.feeCreditCents, WholesalerProfile.freeSalesThresholdCents, WholesaleSettlement.feeCreditApplied.

Changed

  • Admin wholesale-invoice retry now handles card-charged invoices (Stripe invoice re-pay) as well as BECS mandates.
  • Help centre, business landing page, Wholesaler Agreement v2.1, Terms of Service, legal sign-off pack and setup docs updated for the business fee.
