This release brings major upgrades across several key areas of the platform. We’ve enhanced the real-time notification system to be faster, smarter, and more efficient—supporting in-app, email, and push delivery. Auth flows (like registration and password recovery) now work as intended, with smoother redirection post-login. Group pages now redirect cleanly to human-readable slugs for better SEO and sharing. Several UI polish items were also addressed to make the experience more consistent across devices and themes.

General Enhancements​

  • Dark mode now renders correctly across all remaining pages.
  • A custom 404 page has been added for improved error handling and user experience.
  • User avatar images now display correctly using the updated image path.

Notifications Enhancements​

  • Fully migrated to a unified, multi-channel notification service supporting:
    • In-app notifications
    • Push notifications
    • Email notifications
  • Improved performance and efficiency:
    • Subscriptions clean up automatically after 30 seconds of inactivity.
    • Tabs that are minimized or backgrounded disconnect from real-time updates.
    • Subscriptions only listen to relevant database columns to reduce noise.
    • Multiple components now share a single subscription to minimize overhead.
  • Added internal monitoring tools for subscription health and connection counts.
  • Fixed a bug where “Mark all as read” wasn’t updating the interface correctly.

Auth Page Enhancements​

  • Added support for redirect URLs after login and registration (e.g., returning users to their intended destination).
  • Fixed the user registration flow, which now completes successfully.
  • Fixed the forgot password flow, which now properly sends recovery emails and allows password resets.

Event Page Enhancements​

  • Updated event schema to include all structured data fields recommended by Google for search visibility.
  • Resolved a hydration error caused by nested <button> tags in the EventCategorySelector component.

Group Page Enhancements​

  • Group UUID URLs now redirect (HTTP 307) to their slug-based equivalents for cleaner, SEO-friendly URLs.
    • Example: /groups/347bd7ad... redirects to /groups/homeschool-hangouts
    • This maintains link compatibility while improving readability and search performance.
  • Refined the Join Group CTA:
    • Removed unused description text.
    • Displays "Free to join" for free groups.
    • Shows actual membership pricing pulled from the database.
  • Group member counts now show accurately across group listings and detail pages.
  • Improved the group join request workflow:
    • Free groups immediately notify admins upon request.
    • Moderated groups route all join requests to a centralized approval interface.
    • Group admins can now approve or deny requests directly from the platform.

Developer Enhancements​

  • Implemented comprehensive error tracking:
    • React error boundaries for key components.
    • Automatic client- and server-side error capture.
    • Validation and API errors are now consistently tracked.
