[Unreleased]

[0.9.0] - 2026-04-17

Changed

  • Hardened the self-host installer path so the single-USB workflow no longer auto-takes over a machine without an explicit human choice, while also carrying the primary user into first-boot bootstrap and automatically starting the stack after fresh-machine setup finishes.
  • Restored the rounded MOS screenshot-gallery corners in the docs by loading the shared branding tokens into the docs theme and enforcing the radius on the gallery media layers.
  • Ignored the large local self-host ISO artifact folders so downloaded Ubuntu install media and generated installer ISOs do not get picked up in future commits.
  • Clarified the Homepage app docs so the built-in search bar now explains its Startpage integration in plain language, including a short privacy-focused note and official reference links.
  • Strengthened the public docs positioning around private-cloud ownership by rewriting the Why your own cloud? page in clearer, more convincing product language.
  • Started the update-management foundation in Suite Manager with an Updates screen, a protected /setup/api/updates endpoint, bundled release metadata, and safe installed-versus-latest version comparison without giving the control plane host-level update powers yet.
  • Made the Suite Manager updates foundation more deployment-aware by adding a platform-agnostic SUITE_MANAGER_UPDATES_MODE, improving local version-file discovery, and bundling release/version metadata into the Suite Manager image so hosted installs can accurately show notify-only update state.
  • Added a test-only SUITE_MANAGER_UPDATES_LATEST_VERSION_OVERRIDE so the Updates screen can safely simulate “update available” states without changing the real release channel metadata.
  • Added a repo-level npm run release:check guardrail plus CI coverage so VERSION, releases/stable.json, and apps/suite-manager/release.json stay aligned before releases.
  • Started the manual self-host/VPS updater foundation with npm run update:check, npm run update:status, and explicit npm run update:apply -- --target <version> --yes commands, plus a local updater state file and preflight safety checks.
  • Refactored Suite Manager onboarding around a dependency-based flow with grouped progress, keeping Vaultwarden credential setup first while unlocking separate Calendar, Files & Office, and Photos tracks afterward so users can continue with the part of the suite they care about most.
  • Added an optional shared SMTP configuration block to the VPS/local stack so compatible apps can reuse one mail setup instead of forcing per-app email credentials; Seafile and Vaultwarden now consume that shared config for email-capable flows such as share links, verification mail, hints, and similar account notifications.
  • Clarified the technical docs around the optional shared SMTP setup, including where advanced users should configure it, which apps benefit from it, and how the Railway, VPS, and self-host guides should point to the deeper operational notes without overloading the normal user flow.

[0.8.0] - 2026-04-10

Milestone release: My Own Suite now has a validated self-host installation path on real home-server hardware over LAN, including the new single-USB installer tooling that helped bring the first end-to-end machine install together.

Changed

  • Validated the new self-host track on a real home server over LAN, building on the Ubuntu 24.04 bootstrap flow, canonical appname.mos.home and appname.mos.<your-domain> domain model, Cloudflare wildcard tunnel generator, and improved first-boot bootstrap behavior.
  • Added an early single-USB installer builder that remasters an Ubuntu Server ISO with the MOS autoinstall seed, writes a dedicated Install My Own Suite (ERASES DISK) boot entry, and outputs a ready-to-flash installer image.
  • Ignored local self-host ISO input and output artifact folders so downloaded Ubuntu media and generated installer images do not leak into future commits.
  • Refined the public homepage, docs, and default Homepage experience with stronger MOS branding, restored screenshot-gallery polish, clearer app descriptions, better link defaults, a dedicated Management section for Suite Manager, and sharper private-cloud messaging.
  • Hardened the default stack against unnecessary third-party calls by removing Google-hosted fonts and remote Homepage icons, disabling Vaultwarden relay-based mobile push, and turning off Stirling PDF analytics by default.
  • Fixed the Suite Manager Vaultwarden credential-import onboarding flow, expanded E2E coverage around that live-session sync path, and corrected a runtime string-syntax bug that blocked suite-manager smoke startup.
  • Clarified Homepage search documentation with a plain-language Startpage explanation and official reference links.

[0.7.1] - 2026-03-29

Changed

  • Expanded the Railway deployment guide with clearer official-template support material, including the canonical public deploy URL, annotated setup screenshots for the required owner inputs, and a calmer plain-language explanation of resource usage and cost expectations.

[0.7.0] - 2026-03-29

Added

  • Started the dedicated self-host track with an Ubuntu 24.04 bootstrap path, a canonical appname.mos.home and appname.mos.<your-domain> domain model, Cloudflare wildcard tunnel scaffolding, and an early unattended-install flow for testing the appliance-style setup on fresh machines.

Changed

  • Hardened the default stack against unnecessary third-party calls by removing Google-hosted fonts and remote Homepage icons, disabling Vaultwarden relay-based mobile push, and turning off Stirling PDF analytics by default.
  • Refined the public homepage, root README, deployment/docs screenshot coverage, and default Homepage experience with stronger MOS branding, clearer app descriptions, better link defaults, a dedicated Management section for Suite Manager, and a tighter trust story around the bundled apps.

Fixed

  • Fixed a Suite Manager onboarding regression so the Vaultwarden credential-import step now advances correctly after manual confirmation, and expanded the E2E coverage to catch the same live-session UI sync bug in the future.

[0.6.0] - 2026-03-27

Changed

  • Redesigned the public homepage into a full product landing page with a stronger hero, clearer narrative sections, a concrete module grid, and preserved built-with attribution so the suite feels like a polished product instead of an MVP placeholder.
  • Introduced a shared MOS design-system foundation with documented tokens and ownership rules, then aligned the public site, docs theme, and Suite Manager around more consistent type roles, spacing, radii, panels, labels, and meta text.
  • Refreshed the OnlyOffice screenshot set with sharper 1080p captures across the docs and landing-page galleries, improving how the suite looks in release materials and app previews.

[0.5.0] - 2026-03-24

Changed

  • Refreshed the public site and app pages with stronger MOS branding, real product screenshot galleries, and clearer end-user documentation around deployment and core apps.
  • Improved the first-run Suite Manager flow by importing the control-plane credentials into Vaultwarden, clarifying the user-facing control-plane naming, and smoothing the credential handoff experience.
  • Streamlined local validation and manual testing with clearer E2E command docs, a new onboarding-manual flow that pauses on Homepage, and a smaller interactive command set.
  • Changed the default Docker Compose project name for the normal stack to mos. Compatibility note: generated Compose resources such as the default network and named volumes now use the mos_ prefix instead of vps_.
  • Hardened local cross-platform behavior with simpler *.localhost routing and Windows-friendly line-ending safeguards for scripts and container entrypoints.

[0.4.0] - 2026-03-18

Added

  • Added a real suite-manager control-plane with owner sign-in, persistent onboarding state, and a guided first-run setup flow.
  • Added real Docker-backed Playwright E2E coverage for the onboarding flow and Homepage-driven app verification.

Changed

  • Reworked the suite access flow so Suite Manager is now the single login and control-plane entrypoint, with Homepage linking back into the /setup/ experience.
  • Improved onboarding with Vaultwarden-first setup, guided Radicale calendar connection, clearer completion behavior, and a simpler escape path back to Homepage.
  • Tightened local/VPS validation and CI so generated env files, required Suite Manager auth inputs, and compose checks stay aligned with the real first-run flow.
  • Clarified public-facing deployment messaging so the docs now distinguish the current maintained VPS/local stack from earlier Railway validation work.
  • Reworked the public docs around a more beginner-friendly setup flow, including separate guides for Railway, VPS, and self-hosted hardware.
  • Strengthened the public docs language around hosted infrastructure, privacy boundaries, and why Railway or a VPS still differ from consumer Big Tech cloud ecosystems.
  • Added a short plain-language explanation of why a Google/Microsoft/Apple alternative still needs a cloud runtime for sync, backup, and multi-device access.
  • Simplified the early cloud explainer around a clearer ownership message and added an optional further-reading link for people who want more background.
  • Moved the private-cloud explanation into the main What is flow and added a dedicated plain-language explainer page about why this differs from Google, Microsoft, or Apple cloud products.
  • Reworked the plain-language cloud explainer around a safer and more relatable bank safe-deposit-box analogy.
  • Added a short Is My Own Suite free? section to explain the difference between free software and optional hosting costs.
  • Updated docs and repo guidance to match the current Suite Manager-first architecture, Technical reference app docs pattern, and discoverable root E2E commands.
  • Replaced the Suite Manager bootstrap-token gate with built-in owner email/password auth, a signed session cookie, and a /setup/ control-plane surface that can proxy Homepage after login. Compatibility note: BOOTSTRAP_TOKEN has been removed from the suite-manager env contract and replaced by required OWNER_PASSWORD and SESSION_SECRET inputs; Homepage SUITE_MANAGER_URL now needs the /setup/ suffix.
  • Simplified the Suite Manager Homepage contract so it now uses only HOMEPAGE_URL for the private Homepage upstream. Compatibility note: HOMEPAGE_PUBLIC_URL has been removed from the suite-manager env contract.
  • Refreshed Homepage defaults with MOS styling, a lighter top bar, a built-in theme-mos palette, simpler datetime formatting, and no weather prompt.
  • Added shared suite-manager onboarding env inputs (OWNER_NAME, OWNER_PASSWORD, SESSION_SECRET, SUITE_MANAGER_PUBLIC_URL, SUITE_MANAGER_STATE_DIR) and expanded the suite-manager runtime env surface to consume existing Vaultwarden, Seafile, and Radicale bootstrap data.
  • Changed local/VPS Vaultwarden routing so it now uses HTTPS and advertises an HTTPS public URL, which is required for the web signup flow to work correctly.
  • Updated the Homepage base image pin to the v1.8.0 release digest to test whether newer upstream runtime behavior fixes the custom search widget regression.

[0.3.0] - 2026-03-09

Added

  • Added a minimal apps/suite-manager Node/TypeScript service that exposes a status endpoint and logs periodic Homepage health checks, providing a concrete deployment target for future shared bootstrap and monitoring work.

Changed

  • Documented a staging integration branch workflow so feature branches can be tested and batched before promotion to main releases.
  • Reworked VPS/local setup around suite-manager shared inputs and service-level deploy/vps/services/*.env.template files, replacing the older app-level runtime env layout.
  • Simplified vps:init and vps:doctor to match the new template structure and dropped the remaining legacy .env.example compatibility code.
  • Fixed npm run vps:rebuild so clean-slate rebuilds also remove profiled service volumes and auth state.

[0.2.0] - 2026-03-08

Added

  • New root scripts for safer VPS onboarding:
    • npm run vps:init to create missing deploy/vps/**/*.env files from .env.example templates without overwriting existing values.
    • npm run vps:doctor to validate required env vars and cross-file configuration checks before startup.
    • npm run vps:up to run a non-destructive full stack startup flow (init + doctor + compose up).
  • vps:init now renders template expressions in .env.example, including:
    • secret(length[, alphabet])
    • secret(name, length[, alphabet]) for shared generated values across files
    • base64(text) for derived values (for example username:password auth headers)

Changed

  • Updated VPS onboarding documentation to use the new vps:init -> vps:doctor -> vps:up flow and keep vps:rebuild as an explicit destructive reset command.
  • Updated app .env.example templates to support generated shared secrets and derived values during first-time setup.
  • Updated CI compose validation to render and verify VPS env files before running docker compose config.

[0.1.0] - 2026-03-04

First official release of My Own Suite. Establishes the release/publishing foundation and ships the initial MVP application stack, validated locally with Docker Compose and in a Railway cloud deployment.

Added

  • RELEASING.md with SemVer rules, compatibility contracts, and a clear release workflow.
  • CHANGELOG.md as the canonical release history.
  • Starlight docs Releases page rendering CHANGELOG.md.
  • Top-level Project docs section (after Apps) containing Releases.
  • Git hooks (pre-commit, pre-push) to block commits/pushes directly on main.
