Full Changelog: 0.4.4...0.5.0

v0.4.x

Highlights: 🚀 VIN display fix, vehicle images in cards, stronger backend logging & validation, tests added, and a breaking auth route rename.

What's new

• 🖼️ Frontend: Vehicle images are now supported and displayed in the vehicle card — richer UI.
• 🧾 Backend: Added structured logging using Winston for clearer, searchable logs.
• ✅ Common: Multi-environment configuration added (dev/staging/prod) for safer deployments.

Improvements

• 🔍 Frontend: Fixed VIN number display so VINs render correctly in the UI.
• 🔁 Frontend: Added a fetch wrapper to standardize API calls (consistent error handling, headers, etc.).
• 🏬 Frontend: Migrated to class-based stores for more consistent data fetching and state usage.
• 🧰 Backend: Added data validation via a common wrapper at the route level (improves request validation & reduces duplicate code).
• ↕️ Backend: Added secondary sort for fuel logs filled on the same day (stable, predictable ordering).

Testing

• 🧪 Frontend: Added frontend helper tests.
• 🔬 Backend: Added backend API tests.

Breaking changes / Migration notes

• ⚠️ Backend: Auth route renamed from /api/pin to /api/auth — update any clients, integrations, or documentation to use /api/auth. This is a breaking change for consumers calling the old endpoint.

Developer / Ops notes

• 🔧 Logging: Winston configuration is in place — ensure log aggregation/forwarding is updated if you rely on a specific log format or transport.
• ♻️ Validation: Route-level validation wrapper centralizes schema checks — review any custom per-route validation that may now be redundant.
• 🌐 Environments: Multi-environment config requires environment-specific variables; verify CI/CD and deployment configs contain the new keys.

Recommended actions

• Update all clients/integrations to use /api/auth instead of /api/pin.
• Verify logging/monitoring dashboards post-deploy (Winston format).
• Run full regression focusing on vehicle cards (VIN and images) and fuel log ordering.
• Confirm environment variables for each environment are present before deploying.
