Changelog · Racket Social

v1.11.8 2026-05-01

Refreshed marketing site (racketsocial.app): new hero, six feature cards covering leaderboard, shared sessions, PWA + offline, multi-session, skill-balanced courts and multi-language; six recaptured screenshots from the current app.
New public changelog page at racketsocial.app/changelog/, regenerated from CHANGELOG.json on every push to main so every release is visible.
FAQ: added 'Is Racket Social actively developed?' linking to the new changelog page.
Site: removed stale screenshots and the dead 'Recently Shipped' section; sitemap updated.

v1.11.7 2026-04-28

Translations: significantly improved coverage and accuracy across all 23 supported languages. ~86 missing keys filled in per language, with glossary enforcement so sport-specific terms (court, session, match, etc.) translate consistently.
Translations: fixed wrong-meaning words in three languages — German now uses 'Spielrunde' instead of 'Sitzung', Arabic 'ملعب' instead of 'محكمة' (which means 'tribunal'), and Tagalog 'Court' instead of 'Korte'.
Internal: glossary is now injected into both build-time bulk translation and runtime on-the-fly translation paths, so terminology stays consistent regardless of how a string is translated.
Internal: added an apply-translations helper script for the translations workflow.

v1.11.6 2026-04-27

Fix: light and dark theme now apply consistently across the app, including the public shared session viewer (/shared/...) which previously inherited whatever theme the last logged-in user had set.
Fix: the session title in the shared session header is now legible in both themes (it was barely visible in light mode and tinted incorrectly in dark mode).
Fix: the Sessions home screen no longer has fragments stuck in dark mode when the rest of the page is light — the last-session card, collapsed rows, swipe rename action, section headers, and expanded card text now follow the active theme.
Fix: the resume and delete confirmation sheets on Sessions now follow the active theme instead of always rendering dark.
Internal: standardised hardcoded colours throughout the client CSS to use semantic theme tokens, with a brief contributor reference at the top of index.css.

v1.11.5 2026-04-27

Home screen tidy-up: /welcome and /sessions are now a single home screen at /sessions. Old /welcome links keep working via redirect, but everything lives in one place now.
Fix: the 'Players' label in the setup dropdown was showing a raw translation key in English in some cases — now displays correctly.

v1.11.4 2026-04-27

Session settings redesigned: Edit Session is now organised as Name → Courts → Players → Share → Advanced, with a featured Share card (148px QR, save-as-PNG, WhatsApp share) and a collapsible Advanced section for matchmaking, chip display, and the new auto-rotate sitting-out option.
Players section visual refresh: clearer active/sitting-out chips, legend, and count status.
New auto-rotate sitting-out option: when enabled, the matchmaking algorithm prefers rotating the bench so the same players don't keep sitting out.
Inline confirmation prompt when changing courts or format mid-round, so accidental taps no longer disrupt a live game.
Fix: starting a game now cancels any in-progress player switch, so the live match no longer shows stale green/highlight chips from an incomplete swap.
Fix: filled in missing English translation strings that were leaving raw keys visible in places.

v1.11.3 2026-04-26

Internal: disabled the auto-trigger on the Play Store deploy workflow. AABs are being built manually until the CI flow is reliable; merges to main no longer produce red checks.

v1.11.2 2026-04-26

Internal: Play Store deploy workflow now bypasses an interactive Bubblewrap prompt that was preventing CI from building the AAB. No user-facing changes.

v1.11.1 2026-04-26

Refreshed branding: new logo across the PWA, marketing site, browser favicon, Apple touch icon, and the Android splash screen. Canonical SVG now lives in the repo so future updates regenerate every asset from one source.
Play Store assets ready: high-res icon and 1024x500 feature graphic produced for the upcoming store listing.

v1.11.0 2026-04-26

New /data-deletion guide at racketsocial.app/data-deletion explaining how to delete your account or any subset of your data, with a matching FAQ entry on the landing page.
Fix: privacy policy, terms, cookies and the account-deletion page now load without signing in — required for Play Store compliance and for users discovering legal pages from external links.
Fix: client-side routes such as /delete-account now respond correctly to URL checkers and link previews (no more 404s for non-browser clients).
Privacy policy updated to describe the demo account flow and the IP-derived user identifier.
