Changelog

Notable changes to VEXiL are documented here. The same history is maintained at the repository root in CHANGELOG.md.

v0.1.2 - 2026-08-10

Monorepo layout consolidation under apps/ and Dev Docs setup refresh.

Moved Dev Docs into the monorepo workspace — Starlight site now lives at apps/docs-dev, joins Bun/Turborepo, and serves locally on port 4323.
Moved env-init under apps — developer TUI path is now apps/vexil-dev-tools/env-init.
Moved Houdini package — apps/packages/houdini-package-src → apps/vexil-package-src (package renamed to match).
Expanded Getting Started — download links for the toolchain, recommended Zed/GoLand editors, required SideFX Houdini 22, and a clear Bun preference blurb vs npm/Yarn/pnpm.
Aligned package versions — bumped workspace packages to 0.1.2.

Monorepo rename and reconnect for consistent VEXiL package identities.

Renamed apps for consistent branding — backend-api → vexil-server, frontend-app → vexil-frontend, website-vexil → vexil-website.
Moved Houdini package — apps/plugins/houdini-package → apps/packages/houdini-package-src.
Reconnected local tooling — Docker Compose, root setup, VS Code workspace, devcontainer, and env-init TUI now target the new paths and service names.
Aligned package versions — bumped workspace packages to 0.1.1; Pre-MVP docs banner now reads 0.1.X.

Refreshed logo in the navigation bar — the marketing site now displays the VEXiL logo image instead of a plain text wordmark.
Favicon added — VEXiL now shows a proper browser tab icon and app icon across devices.
New GraphQL backend API — the backend service has been rewritten in Go with a GraphQL server (via gqlgen), replacing the previous Python/Django implementation.

Upgraded to Astro 7 — the marketing website now runs on the latest version of Astro, along with updated dependencies for better performance and security.
Refined visual design — polished the styling of the technical/infrastructure section of the site for a cleaner, more consistent look.
Better mobile browser theming — added a theme-color meta tag so the browser UI (address bar, etc.) matches the site’s branding on mobile devices.
Faster backend development loop — added live-reloading (via Air) for the new Go backend, so code changes are picked up instantly during development.
Updated local dev environment for Go — refreshed the dev container and Docker Compose setup (ports, caching, editor extensions) to support the new Go-based backend.
Faster local dev servers — Astro dev servers now bind to all network interfaces, making it easier to preview the site from other devices on your network.
Faster monorepo builds — upgraded Turborepo to the latest version (2.10.5).

Contributing guidelines — added a pull request template and contributing guidelines to help new contributors get started.

Removed a duplicate build-environment section from the Netlify configuration that could cause confusing deploy behavior.

Initial foundation release: the VEXiL monorepo, core apps, and local developer tooling.

Marketing website launched — introduced the public VEXiL website with waitlist signup, email notifications (via Resend), and Vercel deployment support.
Backend API scaffold — added the initial Django-based backend service.
Houdini plugin scaffold — added the initial Houdini integration package.
Frontend app scaffold — added the initial Astro-based frontend application.
Local development with Docker Compose — the full stack (backend, frontend, website) can now be run locally with a single Docker Compose setup.
Developer TUI for environment setup — added an interactive terminal tool that lets contributors configure environment variables, view help text, and start/stop/monitor local Docker services (including automatic port detection) without manually editing .env files.

Published a Code of Conduct and a Security Policy for the project (Alpha stage reporting guidelines).
Updated the README with clearer project details and setup instructions.
