v1.9 Latest 23 August 2026
The Admin Panel catches up
  • Admin navigation is modular — each sidebar entry names the feature module it administers, so removing a feature takes its admin screens with it instead of leaving a page that manages nothing.
  • One name, everywhere — the login screen, the browser tab, Settings and the buyer guide called it the Admin Dashboard, the CRM and the Super Admin dashboard in turn. It is the Admin Panel.
  • Both projects describe themselves — the app and the Admin Panel both still said "A new Flutter project." in their pubspec.yaml.
  • Fixed: the Admin Panel shipped Flutter's logo as its favicon, so a buyer who deployed it got the Flutter icon in the browser tab.
v1.8 5 August 2026
Delete a feature, and it's really gone
  • Six more features are now modules — chat, ride, membership, insights, news and the entire marketplace. Removing the marketplace takes 8 routes with it, across cart, checkout, favourites, items and orders.
  • The home screen follows — home layouts that depend on a removed feature disappear too, instead of leaving an option that opens nothing.
  • Features degrade gracefully — checkout hides the wallet payment option entirely when the wallet module isn't there, rather than offering a payment method that can't work.
  • An architecture test ships with the template — it fails if one feature quietly reaches into another module without declaring it, so the boundaries stay real as you build on top.
  • Fixed: the mock payment sheet sat inside the checkout folder, so membership, rentals and wallet secretly depended on the marketplace. Removing the marketplace would have broken an app that never used it. It now lives in shared/.
v1.7 1 August 2026
Environments & smarter skeletons
  • Dev, staging and production builds — --dart-define=ENV=dev switches the API URL and badges the app title, so testers can tell builds apart. flutter run still works with no flags.
  • Skeleton loaders derive from your real layouts — no more hand-drawn placeholder screens that fall out of step when you change a card.
  • A mistyped environment falls back to production on purpose, so a release pipeline can't quietly ship a build pointed at a dev backend.
v1.6.1 31 July 2026
CI included, platform hardening
  • A working CI pipeline ships with the template — every push checks the app (analyze, tests, Android build), the admin dashboard, and the backend. No setup needed.
  • Release signing documented — creating a keystore, wiring key.properties, and signing on iOS.
  • Fixed: Android backups swept up the stored session token and saved cards. Backup and data-extraction rules now exclude them.
  • Fixed: a missing iOS photo-library permission string that would crash any feature saving an image.
v1.6 28 July 2026
Remove what you don't ship
  • Features are now removable — delete one line from the module registry and a feature's screens, its bottom-nav tab and its home-screen entry points all go with it, and the app still compiles.
  • Only building a ride-hailing app? Take out social, rentals or wallet instead of hunting down references.
  • Composable navigation — the tab bar is built from data, so each feature contributes its own tab.
  • More features migrated to self-contained modules: map, rentals, social and wallet own their own routes and wiring.
  • No visible change in a default build — same screens, same tabs, same order.
v1.5.1 28 July 2026
Version display fix
  • Settings > About showed v1.0.0 on every release — it now reports the version you actually have.
v1.5 27 July 2026
Feature modules
  • Features can own their wiring — a feature declares its own routes and dependencies in its own folder instead of a central list, so adding or removing one is a local change.
  • Adopt it at your own pace — features that haven't been migrated keep working exactly as before; both styles compose into the same route table.
  • Module manifests describe each feature's routes, dependencies, permissions and settings, with tests that keep them in step with the code.
  • Fixed: flutter analyze reported five errors on a fresh copy because it walked into the separate admin project. A fresh copy is now clean.
  • Licence updated — added verification, AI-training and competing-product clauses.
v1.4 24 July 2026
Go global & mobile
  • US dollars by default, with a currency picker in Settings — 13 currencies including yen, won and rupiah conventions.
  • Three new languages — Japanese, Korean and Simplified Chinese — bringing the total to seven (with Arabic RTL).
  • Admin dashboard is now mobile-friendly — a drawer replaces the sidebar on phones, tables scroll instead of squeezing, and the Home breadcrumb navigates.
  • Admin ships as an installable app — the CRM now targets Android and iOS as well as web.
  • Home content is now configuration — service tiles, promos and shop categories live in one file, so you can rebrand the app for a different business without touching widget code.
  • Branded map markers — a teardrop pin, a live-location dot and a vehicle badge, shared across every map screen.
  • Working demo authentication — the live demo now registers and logs in against a real backend.
v1.3 23 July 2026
Live backend demo
  • The admin CRM now runs live against a hosted backend, so buyers can click through a real dashboard.
  • The reference server seeds a week of demo orders, so the dashboard's charts and analytics have data to show.
  • The backend URL is configurable at build time — point the app or dashboard at any server without editing source.
v1.2 22 July 2026
Four home screen layouts
  • Four complete home designs — All-in-one, Ride-hailing, Shopping and Social — switchable live from Settings and remembered.
  • Shared building blocks so the layouts stay consistent and easy to extend.
v1.1 22 July 2026
Store-ready essentials
  • Account deletion (App Store requirement), change password, saved addresses and saved payment methods.
  • Product search and product reviews.
  • Full legal pages — Licence, Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.
v1.0 Initial release
The foundation
  • Every vertical: e-commerce/marketplace, ride-hailing, car rentals, social feed, chat and wallet.
  • Node.js reference backend and a web admin dashboard.
  • Onboarding, authentication with OTP and biometric lock, OpenStreetMap picker, QR scanner, membership plans and insights.
  • Four languages with full RTL, five theme presets, and a mock backend so it runs with zero setup.
