v1.0.0

Added

• SMTP-based email delivery using Nodemailer, including stricter environment validation and recipient normalization in the email client.
• Compatibility no-op endpoints for stale analytics requests: /api/ackee/tracker.js and /api/ackee/collect.
• Refined email template content and CTA structure across account and waitlist flows (verification, password reset, welcome, waitlist confirmation, waitlist unsubscribe).

Changed

• Migrated request guarding from deprecated middleware to Next.js proxy format (src/proxy.ts).
• Reworked global UI styling toward a Vercel-inspired black/gray visual system across core layouts and key product pages.
• Updated Navbar and sidebar behavior for improved routing state, mobile/desktop consistency, and cleaner authenticated navigation.
• Sidebar now defaults to closed and layout spacing behavior was tuned to better respect content flow.
• Updated email shell styling for better visual hierarchy, spacing, and client-safe rendering.
• Rebranded copyright text in site and email surfaces to NodeByte LTD.

Fixed

• Resolved repeated Navbar parse/runtime breakages caused by corrupted merge states.
• Fixed sidebar overlap issues with the top navbar and improved avatar rendering/fallback behavior in navigation.
• Removed global button style bleed that caused visual artifacts in icon/button controls.
• Reduced stale-client runtime failures by serving safe responses from legacy analytics endpoints.

Removed

• Removed active Keener/Instatus-style status integration from the product UI and API surface.
• Removed active Ackee script integration from root layout and tracking flow.
