Desktop

Faida Desktop 0.0.30

Changed

  • Updates the desktop prerelease version to 0.0.30.

Desktop

Faida Desktop 0.0.27

Added

  • Rolls forward the in-app Changelog dialog so release history is available from Settings.
  • Rolls forward the richer invoice and sales-order filters added for date ranges, payment status, fulfillment/inventory status, source, location, sales rep, terms, and balance.

Changed

  • Rolls forward the GitHub Actions startup fixes that keep release/CI jobs on GitHub-owned actions and standard runner labels.
  • Rebuilds the desktop prerelease after validating that the macOS 0.0.25 DMG checksum, Developer ID signature, and stapled notarization ticket are valid.

Fixed

  • Rolls forward the document payment improvements for pasted amounts, focus behavior, shorter balance labels, and failed-recording errors.
  • Rolls forward the sales-order payment fix that can create and attach a missing invoice when recording a customer payment against an eligible uninvoiced sales order.
  • Rolls forward readable unit-code display for saved sales and purchase document lines.

Tests

  • Ran desktop typecheck and the full desktop test suite before release.
  • Verified the existing macOS prerelease DMG with hdiutil, codesign, and stapler; the local "damaged" dialog was caused by macOS syspolicyd returning "Too many open files", not a corrupted DMG.

Added

  • Added an in-app Changelog dialog under Settings so users can review desktop release history from packaged release notes.
  • Added parser coverage for changelog release-note ordering, dates, sections, and inline code formatting.
  • Added richer invoice and sales-order filtering, including date shortcuts, payment status, fulfillment/inventory status, source, location, sales rep, terms, and balance filters.

Changed

  • Release and CI Linux/Windows jobs now use GitHub-hosted runners while macOS release builds stay on the self-hosted macOS runner.

  • Document payment popovers now clean pasted amounts, select the amount on focus, use shorter balance labels, and show a clear error if recording fails.

Fixed

  • Recording a customer payment against an eligible uninvoiced sales order can now create and attach the missing invoice automatically.
  • POS receipt sales orders are no longer eligible for generated invoices from the customer payment flow.

Pre-release track

Desktop

Faida Desktop 0.0.22

Fixed

Desktop

Faida Desktop 0.0.21

Added

22 Jun 2026

Pre-release track

Desktop

Faida Desktop 0.0.20

Added

21 Jun 2026

Pre-release track

Added

  • Local password reset from the desktop sign-in screen and local client sessions.

  • Horizontally scrollable desktop tab bar with mouse-wheel support and left/right edge controls.

Improved

  • Backup and product screens have clearer action loading, route handling, and empty states.
  • Data snapshots, live collections, local SQLite, and cloud backfill now include product images and BOM components.

Fixed

  • Product media access is scoped by company on sync media downloads.

  • Legacy JSON backups are not shown as valid FDZ backup archives.
  • Product image sync retries remain ordered so metadata is not uploaded before local media succeeds.

Pre-release track

Desktop

Faida Desktop 0.0.12

Added

  • In-app update checks, download progress, restart-to-install prompts, and status-bar update notices.
  • Release notes publishing for desktop builds. When a version has a matching release-notes file, the R2 release.json now includes the markdown notes and a public notes URL.
  • Document output preview before printing or saving PDFs, so invoices, orders, quotes, and other documents can be checked before sending to the OS print/save flow.
  • Persistent document tab drafts with unsaved-change protection when closing sales quote, sales order, and purchase order editor tabs.
  • Sales order payment recording from the order editor, including payment history, balance checks, configured payment methods, and payment notifications.

  • Resizable large form sheets and shared tooltip components in the desktop UI package.
  • React-call based callable dialogs for document preview and modal workflows.

Improved

  • Import workflow is now a guided choose, preview, and upload flow with clearer validation, row issue navigation, raw-data viewing, and highlighted rows/fields.
  • Import previews now handle migration fallback lines for sales and purchase orders with totals but no importable line items.
  • Opening stock and iNFLOW imports now respect the negative-stock policy and report negative quantity warnings/errors.
  • Sales order, purchase order, quote, invoice, product, POS, and settings forms now use richer searchable selectors instead of plain option lists.
  • Document PDF rendering now has more robust font handling, layout primitives, theme handling, and native IPC byte normalization for print/save.
  • POS product cards and cart behavior now use the shared inventory negative-stock setting and custom payment method labels.
  • Tabs are less likely to reopen a route after the user intentionally closes it.

Fixed

  • Native PDF print/save now accepts multiple byte shapes from the renderer instead of rejecting valid document bytes.
  • Closing a dirty document tab now prompts before discarding the draft.
  • Update download failures stay retryable instead of losing the available version state.
  • Import validation now blocks upload when row errors exist and reports the first actionable error message.
  • Sales order payments cannot exceed the open balance and cannot be recorded against unsaved edits.

07 Jul 2026

Pre-release track

Desktop

Faida Desktop 0.0.32

Added

  • Sales orders now open inline in a master-detail layout: the search panel and an order card list stay on the left while the selected order opens on the right, with "Open in tab" still available.
  • Order editor gained an order-level stock Location selector, a selectable Sales rep (defaults to the signed-in user), an Order date / Invoiced date label toggle once an invoice exists, and a per-order History dialog (who changed the order, its invoice and its payments, and when).
  • Non-blocking insufficient-stock warning when a line quantity exceeds on-hand stock, shown regardless of the negative-stock setting.
  • Payment slips can be attached when recording a customer or supplier payment, with a paperclip indicator on each payment row.
  • Printed and PDF documents now include billing/shipping addresses, terms, sales rep and customer reference.

Changed

  • Invoices created from a sales order reuse the order number instead of a separate INV- sequence, and order lists show an "Invoiced" badge. Standalone invoices keep the INV- fallback.
  • Document numbers are generated with padding-aware sequencing so a new order can no longer collide with an imported zero-padded number (e.g. SO-31887 vs SO-031887).
  • Record ids now use crypto.randomUUID, removing collision risk during large inFlow imports.

Fixed

  • Faster stock-count, assembly and finance list rendering on large datasets via single-pass on-hand aggregation and map-based lookups; deferred search filtering on the orders list.

Tests

  • Desktop typecheck and unit tests, plus server test suite, run green before release.
