Release Notes

August 2025

We’ve been slacking on our release notes lately — here’s a big catch-up covering the past ~45 days of changes. We’re working on making our updates more consistent and timely going forward.

Highlights

  • Single Log-In System: One login for all sites, multi-site switching, working “Forgot Password,” and backend hooks for future role/permission management.
  • Sealed Product Support (DB2 Update): Backend refactor to handle sealed products (e.g., booster boxes, starter decks) across MTG, Pokémon, Yugioh, Weiss Schwarz, Lorcana, and Star Wars Unlimited, plus an internal data entry tool.
  • Purchase Order Fixes: Better handling of blank/boolean fields to prevent PO import failures.
  • Deployment & Infrastructure:
    • Docker: Faster, more reliable deployments with less manual setup.
    • DNS Overhaul: Mantle now operates its own DNS server for faster setup and updates.
  • Catalog Image Enhancements: Default and per-product-line fallback images, plus CDN hosting for faster load times.


Bug Fixes & Stability

  • Fixed PO cost and blank value issues (#461).
  • Safe deletion of sales channels (#463).
  • Prevented accidental edits to default generic user (#475, #495).
  • BGG data parsing and ID clarity improvements (#485, #486).
  • Logout button added and login issues resolved (#487).
  • Prevented premature order saves on split payments (#488).
  • Improved resilience when microservices go down (#500, #501).


Changes to the Development Path

  • Old categories (Spark, Development, Testing, Launch Pad) were fun but clunky.
  • New categories: Development Ideas and Development Goals.
  • Ideas = everything we want to accomplish, though some may never leave the drawing board.
  • Goals = items we’re actively working on now, targeted for completion within 180 days (~6 months).
  • Some Goals may be abandoned after deeper research/tinkering, moved back to Ideas, or scrapped entirely.
