Project updates

Changelog

The changelog records meaningful public Wiki changes, including new pages, content additions, corrected information, navigation updates, accessibility work, and technical improvements.

Small spelling corrections, minor formatting changes, dependency updates, and internal development work may not always receive individual changelog entries.

The changelog applies to the public Wiki. The separate D&D Player Portal may use its own version history and release process.

Version 0.9.2

Complete structured FAQ architecture and repository cleanup

Completed the FAQ data architecture pass, removed the production Markdown dependency, and cleaned the repository after migration.

#
  • content

    All FAQ groups use structured modular data

    Migrated all 60 FAQ groups and 300 FAQ articles into structured TypeScript modules while preserving canonical routes, Search, Related FAQ behaviour, and static prerendering.

    Browse FAQ Find answers to frequently asked questions about the D&D Portal Wiki, its content, features, and development.
  • added

    Standalone FAQ groups

    Added ownerless FAQ support for Human, Elf, Astral Elf, and Fighting without inventing ordinary Species or Rules pages for topics that have no runtime page owner.

  • removed

    Removed the production Markdown FAQ dependency

    Removed the production dependency on faqMasterReady and the FAQ Markdown master; the runtime FAQ registry is now fully modular.

  • fixed

    Fixed rendered FAQ Markdown leaks

    Removed visible raw Markdown heading markers from rendered FAQ metadata and article output, with leak coverage in the FAQ validation workflow.

  • changed

    Cleaned migration tooling and temporary repository output

    Moved Codex-only migration scripts, notes, reports, previews, and historical run artifacts into the ignored codex workspace and removed root-level process clutter.

  • changed

    Documented the final FAQ architecture

    Documented attached and ownerless FAQ ownership, canonical data locations, runtime versus migration tooling, and the validation workflow.

  • fixed

    Aligned pre-live audits with modular FAQ routes

    Updated route-shape, crawl-title, and unfinished-content validation so the normal and crawl audits understand the current FAQ architecture without masking invalid routes.

  • changed

    Removed obsolete FAQ compatibility paths

    Removed the legacy Messenger-only FAQ path mapping now that Messenger uses the canonical generic FAQ registry.

Version 0.9.1

Equipment structure, homepage polish, and mobile navigation fixes

Follow-up release for the post-0.9.0 feedback pass, focused on equipment organization, item pages, NPC page routing, homepage presentation, not-found handling, mobile navigation behaviour, and small UI regressions found during review.

#
  • content

    Equipment moved into proper top-level sections

    Reworked equipment so weapons, armor, adventuring gear, tools, packs, and item detail pages live under the Equipment area instead of being listed as individual rules pages.

    Browse Equipment Browse weapons, gear, magic items, rarity, attunement, item traits, and equipment descriptions.
  • added

    Adventuring Gear pages

    Added central Adventuring Gear item data and generated pages for practical supplies such as backpacks, bedrolls, mess kits, tinderboxes, torches, rations, waterskins, hempen rope, crowbars, grappling hooks, healer's kits, oil flasks, lanterns, and explorer's packs.

    View Adventuring Gear Browse 15 adventuring gear references with item text, filters, and detail pages.
  • changed

    Nested equipment routes

    Changed item routes to use type-based paths such as adventuring gear item pages, while preserving central route generation and trailing-slash output for the static GitHub Pages build.

    Browse Equipment Browse weapons, gear, magic items, rarity, attunement, item traits, and equipment descriptions.
  • added

    Equipment browser improvements

    Expanded equipment browsing with type pages and filtering so equipment can be scanned more like the spell browser while still linking each available item to its own page.

  • added

    NPC pages

    Added NPCs as their own top-level section with list and detail pages instead of hiding NPC references under Monsters.

    Browse NPCs Browse NPC references, stat blocks, challenge ratings, actions, traits, and encounter notes.
  • changed

    NPC and equipment detail components

    Reworked NPC and equipment detail pages to use structured reusable components for summaries, statistics tables, traits, actions, reactions, and item metadata instead of dense paragraph-style reference blocks.

    Browse NPCs Browse NPC references, stat blocks, challenge ratings, actions, traits, and encounter notes.
  • fixed

    Blank not-found pages

    Replaced blank missing-route output with a proper not-found page that keeps the visitor in the Wiki and points them back toward search and related navigation.

  • changed

    Homepage background and card styling

    Added the homepage-only fantasy background image, expanded it through the normal content max-width on wide screens, and restyled homepage cards with glass-like surfaces and individual accent colors tied to each card topic.

    Open Homepage Browse rules, classes, spells, campaign references, project information, and other D&D Portal Wiki content.

Version 0.9.0

#
  • changed

    TypeScript data source migration

  • changed

    Reusable page rendering system

    Replaced many route-specific page implementations with shared Svelte components for page headers, responsive images, breadcrumbs, cards, inline content, content sections, tables, progression blocks, core traits, starting equipment, and table-of-contents navigation.

  • changed

    Generic dynamic routes

    Moved many static route files into dynamic page routes for top-level project pages, rules pages, spell pages, class pages, and subclass pages so the central data tree controls what renders.

  • content

  • content

  • fixed

    Collection pages excluded from item results

    Separated navigation collections from actual searchable content items so section roots such as Species and Classes no longer count as normal results.

  • changed

    Party and Dungeon Master preferences

    Moved party and Dungeon Master selections into browser-local Wiki preferences instead of treating them as global content filters.

    View Preferences Choose saved browser preferences for class artwork and spell browser display modes.

  • fixed

    Preferences page rendering

    Fixed the Preferences page so browser storage is loaded safely and the page can render during server-side rendering and prerendering.

    View Preferences Choose saved browser preferences for class artwork and spell browser display modes.
  • changed

    Grouped search filters

    Grouped search tags into meaningful categories and hid irrelevant filters while keeping active filters removable.

    Search the Wiki Search the D&D Portal Wiki for rules, character options, creatures, locations, and other available content.

    Header search submission

    Changed the global header search to use a semantic search form so the search button and Enter key open the dedicated Search page.
