ALGA PSA v. 0.0.14

RELEASE NOTES

We are excited to introduce a secure and robust API authentication framework, empowering developers with enhanced programmatic access:

Security & Authentication
- API key generation, validation, and secure storage with hashing
- Tenant-aware authentication middleware to ensure proper request isolation
- Role-based access control integration for granular security
Frontend Enhancements
- Intuitive API key management UI for users
- Dedicated Admin API key management interface
- Seamless integration with existing security settings
API Documentation
- New Getting Started guide for API key usage
- Comprehensive API overview and tenant provisioning documentation
- Standardized API conventions and security patterns
Database & Backend Improvements
- New api_keys table with row-level security (RLS) policies
- Updated Knex configuration for proper database handling
- Tenant-aware provisioning to ensure secure and scalable access
" 'API key first, questions later,' shouted the Queen. 'But that's not doing things in the proper order!' protested Alice, who still thought REST was about napping." 👑

We've made major strides toward leveraging CitusDB for distributed, scalable database operations:

Tenant-Aware Query Optimization:
- Added joins on tenant tables to enable efficient query execution across distributed nodes.
- Reduced redundant extension creation (e.g., uuid-ossp) to streamline database setup.
Performance Improvements:
- Enhanced Docker build efficiency with multi-layer caching for faster database deployments.
- Updated Helm templates for better database connection handling and secret management.
Operational Refinements:
- Migrated database schema to optimize compatibility with distributed CitusDB clusters.
- Improved job scheduling and user authentication for multi-tenant environments.
"Like the Cheshire Cat, these updates quietly make everything smoother while grinning in the background!" 😸

Added Docker configurations for community and full editions.
Streamlined deployment process by automating environment setup and database migration.
New prebuilt Docker images for faster production deployments.
"Even the Queen of Hearts would approve of this streamlined kitchen!" 👑

We've streamlined and enriched scheduling operations to provide powerful management options for recurring events:

Structured Editing & Deletion Options:
- Edit or delete a single instance, this and future instances, or all instances with ease.
- Granular confirmation dialogs for both editing and deletion ensure clear user interactions.
Workdays-Only Recurrence: A new toggle allows scheduling events exclusively on workdays, excluding weekends and detected federal holidays.
Timezone Accuracy & Propagation:
Enhanced event updates now handle timezone discrepancies seamlessly.
Type-Safe Recurrence Operations:
Simplified recurrence pattern handling for better performance and error management.
"Follow the recurrence road, but beware the tornado of edits and deletions!" 🌪️👠

Migrated date handling across the application to Temporal API for improved timezone support and date arithmetic accuracy.
Separated model and view interfaces for time periods, introducing safer type conversions.
Enhanced billing and invoice generation logic to handle dates reliably.
“Time flies differently here—just ask the Mad Hatter!” 🎉

More flexible dialog widths with custom class props and proper recurrence constraints.
"Dialogs now resize like Alice's Wonderland cakes!" 🍄

Added a Windows Setup Guide tailored for smoother onboarding and development with step-by-step instructions for configuring the project environment on Windows.
"Step boldly down the rabbit hole, Windows adventurers—there's a wonderland of streamlined setup ahead!" 💻🐇✨

Fixed Docker build issues by including essential configuration files and improving layer caching.
Resolved compilation errors by separating model and view interfaces for time periods.
Enhanced error handling for contact operations with better UI messaging and validation.
Optimized GitHub action permissions and package publishing processes.
Ensured smoother startup with production mode configurations and optimized scripts.
Integrated GitHub Actions and Packages to streamline CI/CD workflows.
Added validation to ensure ad-hoc work items are created within current time period constraints.
