v0.1.0-beta.5 "Red Raven"
Previous beta24 Sep 2026What changed since beta.4
Red Raven extends yearly work analytics with top-activity and FTE-equivalent measures, while hardening large work-session datasets and dependency security.
Dashboard analytics
- Added five compact yearly top-activity cards beneath Major activity distribution, ranking Hours activity labels by recorded non-Break time.
- Added FTE-equivalent estimates beneath each top activity using a 40-hour week, with the current-year 2,080-hour reference prorated through the current day and completed years using the full annual denominator.
Reliability
- Paginated yearly work-session reads in Hours and Dashboard analytics so datasets above Supabase’s 1,000-row response limit remain complete.
- Used deterministic work-session ordering across pagination batches to prevent late-day sessions from disappearing as the dataset grows.
Security and maintenance
- Upgraded Next.js from 16.3.2 to exactly pinned 16.3.6 for GHSA-vcvr-r3jv-pc5j / CVE-2026-94545 after confirming the Dashboard does not use the affected Node.js next/og ImageResponse path.
- Updated the transitive ESLint development dependency js-yaml from 4.3.1 to 4.3.2 to resolve GHSA-2883-xcg3-v3hh and clear the remaining npm audit finding.
v0.1.0-beta.4 "Golden Vale"
27 Aug 2026What changed since beta.3
Golden Vale improves list navigation and yearly research analytics, while refining activity classification, dashboard presentation and local development configuration.
Development and configuration
- Corrected local Supabase Auth redirect configuration so localhost and 127.0.0.1 development URLs use HTTP consistently.
- Updated the application release identity to v0.1.0-beta.4 "Golden Vale".
Release notes
- Added release-date metadata to release notes and displayed each date as a compact tag alongside release status.
Navigation
- Simplified the authenticated navbar by removing the separate profile-name label and showing the signed-in account name directly on the Account button.
Papers and authors
- Added pagination to the Papers list with 10 papers per page while preserving search, status, archive and sort selections across pages.
- Added pagination to the Author Directory with 10 authors per page.
- Added Author Directory ordering by alphabetical name or by number of associated papers.
- Refined the Dashboard research-pipeline ranking after dated milestones to prioritise Revise round, Writing, Under review, then all other statuses.
Hours and Dashboard analytics
- Added owner-managed major activity classification for Hours labels: Research, Teaching, Administration and Outreach, with Break sessions assigned to Breaks automatically.
- Added a yearly major-activity pie chart to Cross-module analytics, positioned between the activity heatmap and Citation yield.
- Kept existing unclassified historical activity visible as a separate warning rather than assigning categories automatically.
- Compacted the major-activity control within Hours activity-label cards and added a small confirmation notice after a classification is saved.
- Refined the major-activity chart palette with pastel tomato for Research, blue for Teaching, softer Administration tones, gold Outreach and green Breaks.
- Added the yearly total of recorded coffees and average coffees per working day beneath the major-activity distribution.
- Moved the yearly Activity over time heatmap from Hours into Dashboard Cross-module analytics, between Monthly workload and Major activity distribution.
v0.1.0-beta.3 "Misty Delta"
26 Aug 2026What changed since beta.2
Misty Delta turns the Research Dashboard from a single-user workspace into a controlled collaborative environment, while also improving Hours, Planning, paper workspaces and personal account management.
Collaboration and access
- Added Viewer access for people who need to consult the dashboard without changing its data.
- Added paper-specific Coauthor access so collaborators can work only on the papers assigned to them.
- Viewer and Coauthor access can be combined: a collaborator can read the wider dashboard while editing only their assigned papers.
- Added an Owner-only Access area for managing accounts, Viewer access and Coauthor paper assignments.
- Added invitation and onboarding flows so new collaborators can create their account from an email invitation.
- Added an Owner-visible access history covering invitations, Viewer permissions, Coauthor assignments and managed-account changes.
Personal accounts and security
- Added a personal Account page where every signed-in user can update their display name, email address and password.
- Added password recovery from the sign-in page.
- Standardised new and changed passwords on a minimum of 10 characters.
- Email changes use confirmation before the new address becomes the sign-in identity.
- Improved account deletion so unused profiles are removed, while profiles needed for historical attribution are preserved.
- Cancelled invitations now remove unused onboarding accounts automatically when one was already created.
Paper collaboration
- Coauthors can update collaborative research content such as the full title, authors, abstract, venues, research links, milestones, presentations and notes.
- Owner-controlled workflow fields such as status, revision round, dates, history, citations and archive state remain protected.
- Archived papers remain visible to assigned Coauthors for reference but become read-only until restored.
- Notes retain their original author, and coauthors can change only notes they created themselves.
- Added an Author Directory for maintaining the canonical bibliographic names used across papers.
- Added safe Markdown and LaTeX-style rendering for research text and notes.
Hours and Planning
- Added managed location labels and a default location for new work sessions.
- Improved the Hours layout and kept recorded coffee information visible in read-only mode.
- Refined Planning terminology and presentation, including FlowSavvy/Calendar wording and a clearer period-load view.
- Added shortcuts to standby papers and made existing planning allocations easier to move between periods.
Reliability and usability
- Improved read-only behaviour so Viewer accounts cannot briefly see or use editing controls while a page loads.
- Kept navigation, search, date selection and filtering available even when editing is disabled.
- Separated personal account settings from Owner administration so users can manage their own credentials without receiving wider editing rights.
- Corrected Hours system-label handling so collaborator accounts no longer receive Owner-only Break labels.
- Removed unnecessary direct-table privileges and added active-account checks beneath the application interface.
