Jun 1, 2025June 2025 highlights for FAIMS/FAIMS3 focused on delivering business value through a combination of UI modernization, data export enhancements, robust audit and data integrity improvements, and CI/CD reliability. Key features delivered include Theming and Theme Configuration across the web client with a new VITE_THEME env toggle and icon migration, enabling rapid branding updates and consistent user experience. CSV Export Enhancements for Annotations/Uncertainty added to export when enabled, with slugified filenames to improve downstream data handling. Notebook API and UI improvements introduced a record count to notebook API, plus a client-side UI for sync audit and an API endpoint to check sync status, improving observability of data workflows. Audit System and Data Layer enhancements delivered a base record audit function, multi-record audit capability, admin roles for data API updates, and offline validation with a recordStatus dependency to strengthen data quality and reduce unnecessary audits. Additional improvements covered CI/CD and code quality, including packaging tweaks, lint fixes and warnings resolution, and log cleanup to reduce noise and improve developer velocity. Major bugs fixed included the prebuildConfig.sh handling when no config, pouchDB debug/log output cleanup, HTML structure nesting validation, and token refresh scenarios after template/notebook creation, restoring build stability and user trust.

Apr 1, 2025April 2025 was a focused sprint toward reliability, modernization, and developer experience across FAIMS3. Key features delivered include workflow configuration enhancements with MATCH_GIT_URL and documentation of password matching, admin provisioning after migrations, and a transition of migrate scripts to TypeScript. CI/CD improvements with pinned Xcode/iOS versions and containerized development support reduced release risk and onboarding time. Major reliability wins came from build/test stabilization, Android/iOS build hardening, and a secure token-based CSV/ZIP download flow. Additional UX/docs improvements and dev-environment refinements further enabled faster, safer data access and smoother releases across teams.
