Changelog

2026-05-19

Added

• Customer portal — your customers now have their own account dashboard. They can log in (email/password or passwordless magic link), view order history, manage saved addresses, create wishlists, edit their profile, and control notification preferences — all from a dedicated self-service portal

Improved

2026-05-14

Added

• Media drag-and-drop — drag files from the grid onto folders in the sidebar to move them. Drag folders onto other folders to reorganize the hierarchy. Drag files from your desktop directly onto a folder to upload into it
• Nested media folders — the folder sidebar now displays a collapsible tree with indentation. Create subfolders under any existing folder
• Automatic www domain companion — adding a root domain (e.g. example.com) automatically adds www.example.com alongside it with the same verification token, and vice versa. Verifying one auto-verifies the other
• SSL status refresh — click the refresh icon next to an "SSL Pending" badge to trigger an immediate certificate check instead of waiting for the hourly cron
• Apex domain A record instructions — the domain setup UI now detects root/apex domains and shows A record instructions with the server IP, since CNAME is not allowed on apex domains

Fixed

• Theme tracking config not saving — tracking IDs (Google Analytics, GTM, Clarity, etc.) were silently dropped by overly strict regex validation. Replaced with permissive alphanumeric validation that accepts all standard ID formats including Universal Analytics (UA-XXXXXXX-X). Invalid characters now return a clear error instead of being silently removed
• Media upload some files — the upload endpoint expected fileType and fileName form fields that the frontend never sent. Now extracts MIME type and filename from the multipart metadata, with extension-based fallback for ambiguous types like application/octet-stream
• CSP blocking tracking scripts — added nonce="{{ cspNonce }}" to 29 inline and external <script> tags across all Twig templates (front themes, public pages, consent banner, form embeds). Security-critical partials (tracking-head.twig, consent-banner.twig) are now force-synced to org upload directories on deploy
• SSL status stuck at Pending — replaced broken Caddy admin API certificate check with direct TLS handshake verification. SSL status now updates immediately after domain verification instead of waiting for the hourly cron

Improved

• Domain config from server — CNAME target and server IP are loaded from environment variables instead of hardcoded in the UI
• Caddy gzip — enabled gzip compression on all Caddy routes (app, front, API, custom domains)

2026-05-12

Added

• Multi-store per site — a single Front site can now host multiple stores. Each store is independently managed with its own products, categories, orders, and settings. Use the new Stores list page to create and switch between stores
• Store slugs — every store has a unique URL-friendly slug (e.g. wholesale). Storefront URLs now follow the pattern /site/:siteSlug/shop/:storeSlug/.... Legacy /shop/ paths continue to work and resolve to the site's primary store
• Store picker page — when a site has more than one store, visiting /site/:siteSlug/shop shows a branded store picker page so customers can choose which storefront to browse
• B2B wholesale store type — set a store's type to B2B to unlock wholesale-specific settings:
  • Minimum order amount — enforce a cart minimum before checkout is allowed
  • Net payment terms — select Net 15, 30, 45, or 60 to display payment terms at checkout
  • Quote requests — let customers submit a quote request instead of (or alongside) direct checkout
  • Account-based pricing — hide public prices and require login or a manually assigned account price list
• Vanilla JS storefront cart — replaced Alpine.js with a self-contained vanilla JS IIFE (shop-cart.js). Resolves a CSP unsafe-eval violation. The public API is unchanged (window._shopCart); all cart interactions use data-action event delegation

Improved

• Theme editor — refresh button reloads the preview pane without a full save; built-in files toggle hides unmodified theme files; custom overrides are marked with a visual indicator; asset fallback now serves from the base theme when a custom file has not been created

2026-05-08

Added

• Publish webhooks — configure webhook endpoints to receive a POST when any content type is published. Set per-org from Front Settings > Webhooks. Payload includes entity type, id, title, slug, and publishedAt
• Email notifications for editorial workflow — editors and admins now receive email when content is submitted for review or approved. Configurable per user
• Password protection for sites — add an optional password gate to any site. Visitors must enter the password to access any page. Ideal for staging environments and client previews
• Custom robots.txt, humans.txt, and agents.txt — override the default crawler directives per site from the SEO tab in site settings. Foundaro serves sensible defaults when no override is set
• SEO controls and redirect diagnostics — new SEO tab in site settings surfaces redirect chains, loops, and orphaned redirects. Includes canonical URL and noindex/nofollow defaults per site
• Menu icons, images, and badge labels — menu items now support an icon (Lucide icon name), an image URL, and a badge label (e.g. "New", "Beta"). Referenced in Twig via item.icon, item.image, item.badge

Improved

• Headless API — added missing endpoints (single-item fetch for all content types, related content), fixed includePast filter for events, wired API key authentication guard on all /api/v1/front routes
• Custom fields UI — custom field values are now editable in the content editor's Fields tab; threaded comment replies now render inline with indent
• Kanban performance — replaced per-column method calls with computed signals (single-pass grouping)

• Custom fields — define custom fields per content type (text, number, date, boolean, select, color, media, URL) from Front Settings > Custom Fields. Values stored as JSON, accessible in templates via {{ page.customFields.fieldName }}
• Threaded comments with @mentions — comments now support replies (nested threads), inline editing, soft delete, and @mention extraction
• Full-text search — Postgres tsvector with weighted ranking (title > slug/excerpt > content > meta), GIN indexes, prefix matching, content type filtering, HTML stripping
• Cookie consent banner — configurable per-site banner that blocks tracking scripts (GA, GTM, Clarity, Meta Pixel, LinkedIn) until visitor accepts. Customizable message, buttons, and privacy link
• Site traffic analytics — real-time pageview tracking with daily trends, top pages, top referrers. Privacy-friendly (server-side, no cookies)

Improved

• Database batch operations — projects and relationships batch operations now use updateMany or $transaction
• Audit logging — failures now logged instead of silently swallowed
• Theme file indicator — "new" badge only appears on files not found in any built-in theme
