January 2025 — LiteFarm delivered a release-ready bundle of UI polish, data-model refactors, and security enhancements. The release version bump kickstarted the launch. UI/UX improvements consolidated button styles, navigation, and translations across forms and maps, with mobile refinements. Migration of the integration structure and API tests modernized the test suite and reduced fragility. Data models were updated to the new Integrating Partners and FarmAddon names, references cleaned, and Addon renamed to AddonPartner with org_uuid updates. Security and governance were improved via a basic endpoint with scope checks and optional addon_partner_id, alongside permissions and table renaming refactors. Map visuals were improved with updated icons and navigation stability fixes. These changes reduce technical debt, improve security posture, and enable faster, safer feature delivery for partners and internal users.
