Changelog

2026-10-02, version 3.1.2

New features & improvements

• Reorganized the renderer, desktop, webserver, core, and shared contracts into dedicated workspaces.
• Published a public documentation website (Docusaurus) at piratuks.github.io/invoice-builder, auto-built and deployed to GitHub Pages on every push to main, with guide pages reorganized into flat per-screen docs and dedicated screenshot/example asset folders.

Bug fixes

• Fixed the packaged Windows/Linux/macOS desktop app failing to start with "Cannot find module 'sqlite3'", caused by the packager silently excluding all node_modules from the build and the native sqlite3 binary not being unpacked from the app archive.

2026-09-30, version 3.0.4

Bug fixes

• Fixed PDF item-table columns reserving excessive space for short item names by dynamically allocating flexible width based on item and custom-field content.

2026-09-29, version 3.0.3

New features & improvements

• Added AppImageUpdate-compatible update metadata to Linux AppImages and publish the matching .zsync files with each release.

Bug fixes

• Lowered the Linux AppImage glibc requirement by building native dependencies against Ubuntu 20.04.

2026-09-29, version 3.0.2

Upgrade note

Version 3.0.2 initializes new databases from a consolidated schema and no longer includes the historical migration chain. Existing databases must already have completed migrations through version 2.10.0. Back up databases before upgrading; databases with incomplete migrations are not upgraded by this release.

New features & improvements

• Migrated the renderer data layer to Redux Toolkit Query for shared caching, loading states, error handling, and cache invalidation.
• Added quick client creation directly from the invoice and quote client selector, with automatic selection of the newly created client.
• Centralized Electron, webserver, Docker, and frontend environment configuration, documented supported variables, and exposed PostgreSQL pool and webserver session lifecycle overrides in Docker Compose.

Bug fixes

• Fixed AppImage compatibility with older supported Linux distributions by using a static runtime and compiling native dependencies against Ubuntu 22.04, preventing blank startup caused by an incompatible sqlite3 glibc requirement.

2026-09-22, version 2.10.0

New features & improvements

• Added automated test coverage reaching at least 80% overall.
• Added isolated multi-session database contexts for web/Docker mode, including server-issued HttpOnly cookie sessions, per-database session/workspace metadata, automatic session cleanup, and PostgreSQL pool lifecycle management.

Bug fixes

• Fixed the PDF preview flickering/remounting on every invoice or customization change by dropping the per-render key on PDFViewer and keeping the current preview visible until newly loaded assets are ready.
• Fixed a Buffer is not defined error from @react-pdf/layout in the renderer by adding a minimal Buffer.isBuffer polyfill, relaxed the CSP script-src to wasm-unsafe-eval to support it, and fixed a browser console warning ("Blocked aria-hidden on an element because its descendant retained focus") shown when opening the image crop dialog or the filter drawer by blurring the triggering button/input before the modal opens.
• Fixed an intermittent "database not initialized" / "failed to initialize" error when opening a database in web/Docker mode, caused by overlapping database initialization requests racing on the shared connection; initialization is now serialized on the backend and duplicate open requests are ignored on the frontend while one is in progress.
• Fixed web session security by rate-limiting authorization attempts and preventing session tokens or PostgreSQL connection data from being stored in browser-accessible storage.

2026-09-16, version 2.9.0

New features & improvements

• Added receipt printing for invoices in web/Docker mode via the browser's own print dialog (e.g. "Save as PDF"), previously available only in the Electron desktop app.
• Added the V3 Visual Layout Builder for V1 and V2 layouts with visual editing, nested regions/rows/columns/grids, drag-and-drop, keyboard/menu fallbacks, undo/redo, schema limits, and embedded PDF preview.

2026-09-14, version 2.8.0

New features & improvements

• Added customizable V2 JSON layout schemas for page-level invoice composition with independent regions, sidebars, landscape orientation, recursive rows/columns/grids, configured sections, and controlled region overflow.
• Added V2 PDF pagination support for long item tables, repeated table headers, non-splitting item rows, and preserved layout snapshots for historical invoices and quotes.
• Added validation and documentation for customizable V2 layout schemas, plus PDF regression coverage and web/Electron smoke tests while retaining V1 layout schema compatibility.

Bug fixes

• Fixed the invoice layouts migration failing on re-run when the layouts table already existed but the invoices.layoutId column had not yet been added.
• Hid the "Print receipt" action in web mode, where native receipt printing is unavailable.
• Fixed the receipt print action showing for quotes; it is now restricted to invoices only.

2026-09-03, version 2.7.1

Bug fixes

• Fixed Monaco Editor workers failing to load in Electron and self-hosted production builds by allowing blob: and data: worker scripts in the Content Security Policy. This prevents the editor from displaying the raw Microsoft license header and restores layout editor functionality.

2026-09-03, version 2.7.0

New features & improvements

• Added Portuguese language support.
• Added a Layouts page for managing JSON-defined invoice and quote PDF compositions.
• Added validated layout JSON upload with support for section ordering, visibility, nested header rows and columns, spacing, block placement, payment sources, totals rows, watermark order, and item-table sizing.

• Added layout selection to invoice and quote page setup, with layout snapshots preserving the structure of historical documents.

2026-08-26, version 2.5.6

New features & improvements

• Added AppImage support
• Added support for invoice surcharge (fixed amount or percentage-based). Surcharge behaves as a price adjustment, similar to discount:
  • Percentage surcharge is calculated from the subtotal after discounts.
  • Fixed surcharge is added directly to the subtotal.
  • Surcharge does not increase the taxable base (subtotal), as it acts like a shipping/handling/payment fee.
  • VAT is calculated only from the taxable line items, not from the surcharge amount.

2026-08-10, version 2.5.5
