v4.3.2— Streamlined dev environment

Everything

  • Most of the developer-side code was rewritten to allow new developers to easily start contributing. Not application functionality should have been changed.

v4.3.0— Me, Typescript, Auth fixes

Me

  • Introducing the F3 Me app.

Auth

  • Supporting international numbers.
  • Fixing UI around home region dropdown.

API

  • Adding user and org IDs to the API call for an org chart org.
  • Prevent region admin from moving an AO to a region he doesn't own.

Repo

  • Upgrading Typescript and ESLint.

v4.2.2— Admin polish, map behavior & API hardening

Map

  • Nearby list groups workouts by AO so each AO is its own row when several AOs share one location.
  • Event filters follow national event types with clearer handling across the map.
  • AOs can inherit a parent region logo when they do not have their own; legacy map filter types that are no longer supported were removed.

Admin Portal

  • Positions management: dedicated Positions experience and tools to assign roles by organization.
  • Sortable admin tables; clearer URL validation and modal flows for links and social fields.
  • Simpler org-scoped cache invalidation after AO changes; assorted small portal fixes and better direct-assignment flows.
  • Annual review dates display correctly for admins in negative-offset timezones.

API

  • Event instance handling cascades consistently through event and organization routes.

v4.0.0— Auth, Node 24, Pre-commit Hooks

Node 24

  • Upgraded repo from Node 20 to Node 24

Pre-commit Hooks

  • Added Lefthook that will check lint, format, and typecheck before commits.

API

  • Feature: Added favicon
  • Feature: Tied version shown on /docs to package.json instead of hardcoding it

Auth

  • Feature: Migrated Auth into the mono repo. This is a phased approach. It will run as auth2.f3nation.com. We can now move apps over. Once all apps moved, we can decommission the stand alone auth and convert this to auth.f3nation.com.

v3.9.1— Map Updates & Admin Portal Improvements

  • Feature: User pages now show Home Region
  • Enhancement: Better experience when using the built-in map feature when editing a Location.
