BREAKING: Reservations have been completely rebuilt. Existing place-level
reservations are no longer used. All reservations must be re-created via
the Bookings tab. Your trips, places, and other data are unaffected.
Reservation System (rebuilt from scratch):
- Reservations now link to specific day assignments instead of places
- Same place on different days can have independent reservations
- New assignment picker in booking modal (grouped by day, searchable)
- Removed day/place dropdowns from booking form
- Reservation badges in day plan sidebar with type-specific icons
- Reservation details in place inspector (only for selected assignment)
- Reservation summary in day detail panel
Day Detail Panel (new):
- Opens on day click in the sidebar
- Detailed weather: hourly forecast, precipitation, wind, sunrise/sunset
- Historical climate averages for dates beyond 16 days
- Accommodation management with check-in/check-out, confirmation number
- Hotel assignment across multiple days with day range picker
- Reservation overview for the day
Places:
- Places can now be assigned to the same day multiple times
- Start time + end time fields (replaces single time field)
- Map badges show multiple position numbers (e.g. "1 · 4")
- Route optimization fixed for duplicate places
- File attachments during place editing (not just creation)
- Cover image upload during trip creation (not just editing)
- Paste support (Ctrl+V) for images in trip, place, and file forms
Internationalization:
- 200+ hardcoded German strings translated to i18n (EN + DE)
- Server error messages in English
- Category seeds in English for new installations
- All planner, register, photo, packing components translated
UI/UX:
- Auto dark mode (follows system preference, configurable in settings)
- Navbar toggle switches light/dark (overrides auto)
- Sidebar minimize buttons z-index fixed
- Transport mode selector removed from day plan
- CustomSelect supports grouped headers (isHeader option)
- Optimistic updates for day notes (instant feedback)
- Booking cards redesigned with type-colored headers and structured details
Weather:
- Wind speed in mph when using Fahrenheit setting
- Weather description language matches app language
Admin:
- Weather info panel replaces OpenWeatherMap key input
- "Recommended" badge styling updated
- Date picker dropdown stays within viewport on mobile (no more overflow)
- Opens above if not enough space below
- Centers on very small screens (<360px)
- End date auto-adjusts when start date changes:
- If no end date or end < start → end = start
- If both set → preserves trip duration (shifts end by same delta)
Real-Time Collaboration (WebSocket):
- WebSocket server with JWT auth and trip-based rooms
- Live sync for all CRUD operations (places, assignments, days, notes, budget, packing, reservations, files)
- Socket-based exclusion to prevent duplicate updates
- Auto-reconnect with exponential backoff
- Assignment move sync between days
Performance:
- 16 database indexes on all foreign key columns
- N+1 query fix in places, assignments and days endpoints
- Marker clustering (react-leaflet-cluster) with configurable radius
- List virtualization (react-window) for places sidebar
- useMemo for filtered places
- SQLite WAL mode + busy_timeout for concurrent writes
- Weather API: server-side cache (1h forecast, 15min current) + client sessionStorage
- Google Places photos: persisted to DB after first fetch
- Google Details: 3-tier cache (memory → sessionStorage → API)
Security:
- CORS auto-configuration (production: same-origin, dev: open)
- API keys removed from /auth/me response
- Admin-only endpoint for reading API keys
- Path traversal prevention in cover image deletion
- JWT secret persisted to file (survives restarts)
- Avatar upload file extension whitelist
- API key fallback: normal users use admin's key without exposure
- Case-insensitive email login
Dark Mode:
- Fixed hardcoded colors across PackingList, Budget, ReservationModal, ReservationsPanel
- Mobile map buttons and sidebar sheets respect dark mode
- Cluster markers always dark
UI/UX:
- Redesigned login page with animated planes, stars and feature cards
- Admin: create user functionality with CustomSelect
- Mobile: day-picker popup for assigning places to days
- Mobile: touch-friendly reorder buttons (32px targets)
- Mobile: responsive text (shorter labels on small screens)
- Packing list: index-based category colors
- i18n: translated date picker placeholder, fixed German labels
- Default map tile: CartoDB Light
