Hi everyone 👋
I’m excited to announce AdventureLog v0.12.0, one of the largest and most transformative updates since the project began. This release takes AdventureLog beyond logging and into true trip planning, with a fully redesigned itinerary experience, smarter recommendations, budgeting tools, and major authentication improvements. The theme of this update is: Planning, Itineraries & Smarter Trips.
This update lays the foundation for end-to-end trip planning — from ideas, to routes, to schedules, to costs — all while continuing to strengthen self-hosted and privacy-respecting workflows.
