Release Notes

Every update, fix, and new feature — documented as we ship.

v0.7.0 Latest 15 March 2026

A major data management release — overhauled CSV bulk upload system, EQ ID cross-system linking, support tools for school onboarding, and a series of module bug fixes across streaks, attendance badges, and mentorship.

CSV Upload Overhaul
Updated the student, parent, teacher, and class(enrollment) CSV
Upload results now show the server's actual created/updated counts and per-row errors inline
Request body limit raised to 5 MB — supports schools with 2,000+ students or 4,000+ parents in a single upload
Student ID — Cross-System Linking
New student_id field on student accounts — unique per school, supports alphanumeric IDs
Classes and parents are linked to students via student ID rather than email — mirrors school MIS exports
Partial unique index ensures multiple unlinked students can coexist without constraint conflicts
Support Tools
Trial tier support — set an expiry date when onboarding a school on a trial plan
School domain auto-generated from school name with uniqueness suffix if needed
Module Bug Fixes
Streaks now correctly honour the module toggle — enabling it in School Setup is immediately reflected for students
Attendance badges now appear on the student profile page alongside standard achievement badges
Growth Insights module no longer shows as greyed-out in Overview after being enabled in School Setup
Mentorship: Year 7 and Year 12 students now load correctly regardless of how year levels are stored (e.g. "07", "7", "Year 7")
Mentorship: school houses are now sourced from the database — no longer limited to four hardcoded house names
Platform & Security
Fixed a production error where upload failures returned "An unexpected error occurred" instead of a meaningful message
Fixed UTF-8 BOM stripping — Excel-generated CSVs now parse correctly without header mismatches
Year rollover preserves zero-padded year levels (e.g. "07" stays "08", not "8")
Security: patched high-severity IPv6 bypass vulnerability
v0.6.0 8 March 2026

A major update focused on student wellbeing, school culture, and recognition. Two new Plus/Pro modules ship alongside performance improvements and a redesigned avatar system.

Student Spotlight Plus

Platform Improvements
All app routes now lazy-loaded with manual chunk splitting — significantly faster initial load
