v2.4.0

Added

• In-app "Suggest a place" flow — a public, no-account form that opens a pre-filled GitHub issue, lowering the contribution barrier below forking the repo. Nothing writes directly to the repo; the existing PR review process is untouched. (#96)
• data/places.schema.json — a real JSON Schema for the place record. scripts/validate-places.mjs now derives its valid types, required fields, coordinate bounds, and gmaps_link pattern from it instead of a second hardcoded copy, and flags any field not declared in the schema. (#94)

Changed

• Consolidated 3 duplicated copies of the place-data schema (README.md, CONTRIBUTING.md, ARCHITECTURE.md) into a single pointer to data/CONTRIBUTING.md + data/places.schema.json. Two of the three had drifted to a stale 9-type list that no longer matched the dataset. (#94)
• Clarified across /contribute, /docs/contributing, and the map's "My places" panel that public places (GitHub PR/issue) and private saved places (Supabase, signed-in only) are two separate systems — a saved place never appears on the public map for other users. (#97)
• Adopted the Contributor Covenant v2.1 for CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md, naming a real reporting contact. (#95)
• Updated the contact email to studentsuite3@gmail.com across CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md, CONTRIBUTING.md, SECURITY.md, docs/TROUBLESHOOTING.md, and the GitHub issue templates.
• Corrected the /about page's maintainer attribution to StudentSuite.

Fixed

• Normalized 225 ALL-CAPS city values in data/places/sat_centre.json (e.g. "SALISBURY" → "salisbury") left over from a bulk CEEB import, which were cluttering the map's city filter dropdown. (#100)

v1.2.0

Cumulative release covering everything merged since v1.0.0 (no intermediate tags were cut for 1.0.1/1.0.2/1.1.0).

Added

• Map marker clustering: overlapping pins merge into pie-chart cluster icons (color-segmented by place type) with a count badge; click a cluster to zoom into its children.
• Exam centre metadata: exam (exam name) and valid_till (ISO date) fields, surfaced in popups.
• 7 verified SAT exam centres (Mumbai), 2 Goethe-Institut centres (Mumbai, Pune), and a new library in Xiamen, China.
• Dynamic city filter dropdown built from the dataset (flies to city bounds on select).
• Data validator (scripts/validate-places.mjs): enforces unique ids, valid type/coordinates, required gmaps_link, no em dashes. Runs in CI on every push/PR.
• 57 new student places across Mumbai, Thane, and Navi Mumbai (libraries, book shops, exam centres, internet cafes, important locations).
• Exam calendar page, GitHub Student Developer Pack guide, Google-Maps-style scroll zoom, theme-aware Leaflet UI.

Changed

• StudyMap is now international in scope (place submissions no longer restricted to the Mumbai Metropolitan Region).
• Map constants consolidated into src/lib/constants.ts.
• Navbar/mobile-drawer z-index raised above the map UI.
• Calendar and navbar layout fixes.

Fixed

• /map crash (ReferenceError: useRef is not defined) in the scroll-zoom guard.
• Restored original short links on 9 book shop entries.

Removed

• Unverified IB/IGCSE exam centre entries (replaced with verified SAT centres).

CI

• New GitHub Actions workflow: lint + build + place-data validation on every push to main and on PRs.

v1.0.0 — Public Launch

StudyMap v1.0.0 — Public Launch

First public release of StudyMap, a crowdsourced open-source map of student-important places across the Mumbai Metropolitan Region.

Added

• Exam calendar page (/calendar): next 4 international SAT administrations, IB Nov 2026 + May 2027 sessions, Cambridge IGCSE June 2026 + Oct/Nov 2026 series — exam windows and result dates, each cited to the official board.
• Student docs: GitHub Student Developer Pack guide (/docs/github-student-pack) with official citations.
• Google-Maps-style scroll behavior on the map: plain scroll scrolls the page, Ctrl/Cmd + scroll zooms the map, with a hint overlay.
• Theme-aware Leaflet UI: popups, tooltips, zoom controls, and attribution now follow the app light/dark theme.
• Live place count in the hero, computed from the dataset.
• Mobile filter panel redesigned as a bottom sheet with backdrop and close button.

Changed

• Curated the places dataset (80 to 53): removed helipads, seaplane terminals, hospitals, closed businesses, mislabeled entries, and low-value small shops; kept the 5 most important railway stations.
• Map popups restyled to match the design system; popup links are white on an amber CTA with WCAG-compliant contrast in both themes.
• README rewritten for the open-source launch (badges, features, roadmap, changelog links).

Security

• Removed accidentally committed SSH key files from the working tree.
