Release notes
Changelog
Latest build: v1.9.0. Product changes, privacy improvements, card universes, and docs updates land here.
v1.9.0current buildFaster inbox state
- Opening an unread inbox thread now marks it read automatically.
- Sending a reply immediately appends the message, marks the thread replied, and removes the extra read action without a page refresh.
Bounded inbox threads
- Inbox threads now open at the latest reply and keep the message history inside a scrollable transcript area.
- The chat header and reply composer stay in place so long conversations do not push the whole dashboard page around.
Dashboard inbox polish
- The dashboard inbox now behaves more like a real messaging client with a conversation list, active thread, chat bubbles, and a clearer reply composer.
- Free-Agent status now has a richer control panel with marketplace visibility, private relay, and card preview signals in one place.
- The shared navbar has a cleaner command-bar shape so page links, dashboard access, theme selection, and mode switching read as separate controls.
Cleaner X share previews
- X share buttons now send the Gitfolio profile URL as the link to unfurl, while keeping the generated post copy separate.
- Theme and design changes keep the X share link pointed at the exact card variant so the profile preview can show the matching card image.
Light-mode universe controls
- Universe pages now keep the profile tools panel on the selected light surface instead of falling back to a dark console.
- Card format, save, and embed controls reuse the same light-mode treatment across fictional themes.
Sharper home and verified redirects
- Repeat GitHub verification now sends already-verified developers back to their profile card automatically.
- The homepage is shorter and more action-led: open a profile, claim your card, or browse the hiring relay.
- Homepage metadata now matches the broader Gitfolio product surface instead of reading like a feature manual.
Protected recruiter login
- Recruiter magic-link login now shows a Turnstile check when protection is configured.
- The recruiter login API verifies the security check before creating a sign-in link.
- Email setup docs now match the Resend key naming used by the main mail stack.
Recruiter sign-in polish
- Upgraded recruiter sign-in into a clearer relay entry page with stronger form hierarchy.
- Made primary and gold action buttons use one shared component with higher contrast across themes.
- Recruiter magic-link email setup now accepts the same Resend naming used by the main mail system.
Unified sign-in entry
- Added a recruiter login option to the main sign-in page.
- Clarified that developers verify with GitHub while recruiters use work-email magic links.
Recruiter relay accounts
- Recruiters can now join with work-email magic links instead of needing GitHub accounts.
- Free-agent bids and recruiter replies stay inside Gitolio, with direct email addresses blocked from relay messages.
- Inbox views now use a two-pane conversation layout so people and message history are easier to scan.
- Game, squad, ranks, and catalogue pages received layout polish for the current theme system.
Squad derby stability
- Fixed squad derby pages so two squads can be compared without falling into the generic scout-failed screen.
- Kept the private relay conversation release and changelog visible in the current build.
Private relay conversations
- Bidders now sign in with GitHub before sending a bid, so every bid belongs to an account.
- Developers and bidders can reply inside Gitolio through Inbox and Sent bids.
- Direct email addresses are blocked on send and hidden in existing relay threads.
- Added this changelog so visible product changes have a permanent home.
Marketplace deletion and readiness polish
- Marketplace profiles can be deleted from Dashboard with handle confirmation.
- Deleting a marketplace profile removes saved bid/profile data while the public Gitolio card remains available from public GitHub signal.
- Release readiness checks were expanded around the marketplace surfaces.
Free-agent relay settings
- Dashboard profile settings gained Open-to-Work visibility, Accept bids, and encrypted private contact settings.
- Free-agent pages now show clear relay-open and relay-closed states.
- The bid form explains the privacy boundary before a company reaches out.
More card universes and machine-readable UI
- Added more game-inspired universes including Rift Raid, Neon Vice, Empire Forge, Orbit Fleet, Corsair Cove, Wasteland Run, and Stealth Ops.
- Added A2UI-compatible profile endpoints for agent and client renderers.
- Improved theme switching, mode persistence, and homepage profile-card consistency.
Release rule: every visible product change should add a short entry here before it ships.
