Release Window

2025-09-15 to 2025-09-30

Overview

This minor release series covers v0.7.4.0 through v0.7.4.9. The release combined story-authoring improvements, subscription and policy updates, module CRUD, and a large Modular Mechanics refactor that simplified data ownership, variable seeding, and legacy-mode behavior.

Highlights

• Added markdown and HTML story text support and related prompt cleanup.
• Improved story creation and node editing flows, including image-layer settings and AI prompt field editing.
• Added email opt-in, subscribe and unsubscribe links, and EULA/privacy updates.
• Introduced module CRUD endpoints and UI pages.
• Continued the major Modular Mechanics refactor, including entity ID cleanup and removal of legacy mode.

Patch Milestones

v0.7.4.0 to v0.7.4.3

• Shipped markdown and HTML support in story text as the headline change for v0.7.4.0.
• Fixed initial story-so-far handling and create-story module saving.
• Made AI-generation prompt fields editable in the create-story flow.
• Fixed create-node image-layer-settings behavior and related authoring friction points.

v0.7.4.4 to v0.7.4.7

• Added email opt-in support and subscription lifecycle links.
• Added unsubscribe token handling and follow-up fixes for subscribe and unsubscribe flows.
• Updated EULA and privacy content and email copy.
• Improved the ETCH version bump tool so a patch bump can be requested without explicit parameters.

v0.7.4.8 to v0.7.4.9

• Added module CRUD endpoints and pages.
• Progressed the Modular Mechanics refactor through multiple phases, then shipped the result in v0.7.4.8 and v0.7.4.9.
• Removed legacy entityId usage in favor of nodeUuid and storyUuid.
• Stopped copying parent values into story-node variables by default when that behavior was no longer correct.
• Removed mmMode and aligned carousel/navigation behavior with the refactored module system.

Other Notable Improvements

• Stripped HTML tags from prompts where raw markup should not be passed into generation.
• Fixed duplicate settings issues and corrected view-count behavior.
• Improved debugging hygiene with cleanup after the large refactor phases.
• Fixed Modular Mechanics edge cases around incorrect data types, default values, parent-value copying, and gamestate variable display.

Migration Notes

• Markdown and HTML story text are part of the authoring model starting in this series.
• Subscription and unsubscribe links became part of the user-facing email flow.
• Modular Mechanics data ownership now prefers explicit nodeUuid and storyUuid references over legacy entity identifiers.
• Legacy module-mode assumptions should be removed in favor of the refactored Modular Mechanics flow.
