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.

The Buy this item button on vouchers and option products no longer gets stuck on "Opening checkout…": a bug tried to build a FormData object from the button itself (which isn't a form), throwing a JavaScript error before the order was created. The click now always reaches the order API and redirects to Stripe checkout.

When a supplier edits a wholesale product (price, commission, title, description, images or stock), the changes now push through to every fundraiser listing using it — pages and checkout no longer show stale snapshot prices (e.g. a WebStarts item still showing the old $150 after the supplier repriced it).

Referral landing pages now say "Paid straight to your bank (less Stripe fees)" instead of implying the full amount arrives untouched.

Blog posts can be saved again after adding an uploaded cover image: the validator was requiring an absolute URL, which rejected the uploader's /api/uploads/... path. It now accepts uploaded paths (and pasted URLs), matching the rest of the site.

The site now pushes the following events to the GTM data layer so tags can fire reliably without scraping the page:

sign_up — fired when a new account is created (method: email).
begin_checkout — fired when a buyer clicks Buy and Stripe returns a checkout session (carries product id, price, currency).
purchase — fired on the order success page with the real order id, amount, currency and item details.
donation — fired on the fundraiser page after a completed donation (one-off or recurring), with the amount and fundraiser.
generate_lead — fired when a business submits a wholesale application.
add_to_store — fired when a fundraiser adds a wholesale item to their store with one click.

These are announcements only — Tag Manager listens for them and forwards them to GA4.

Blog cover uploads are now named from the post title: lowercase with spaces as underscores, plus a 5-digit counter (e.g. my_blog_title_00001.jpg), so re-uploads of the same title never overwrite or clash.

Blog cover images are capped at 900px wide (instead of 1200) — most screens don't show wider, so files are smaller and load faster; larger layouts stretch to fit.

Blog cover images uploaded via the blog editor now keep up to a 1200px long edge (16:9 covers come out at 1200×675) instead of the 600px cap. Product, fundraiser and store images keep the existing 600px cap — the upload pipeline now accepts a per-purpose size.
