## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.0.5 — 2026-09-01

Rebranding from GateMate to GateFox

### 1.0.4 — 2026-07-10

src/Layout.jsx — Sidebar Header: Changed the SidebarHeader padding to calc(env(safe-area-inset-top) + 1rem) so the GateMate logo in the desktop/tablet sidebar is pushed below the iOS notch/status bar.

src/components/mobile/MobileHeader.jsx — Spacer fallback: Changed the safe-area spacer div's fallback from 0px to 44px so that on devices where the CSS environment variable isn't resolved (e.g., older WKWebView configurations), the header still reserves the correct amount of space for the iPhone status bar.

### 1.0.3 — 2026-07-08

Safe Area Handling: I implemented explicit handling for mobile safe areas (the notch and status bar regions) in src/Layout.jsx. The main container now uses style={{ paddingTop: 'env(safe-area-inset-top)' }} to prevent UI elements from overlapping with system status indicators.
Layout Refactoring: The layout now dynamically manages community switching and navigation state more robustly across mobile and desktop breakpoints.
Guest Directory Responsiveness: src/pages/GuestDirectory.jsx received structural improvements to prevent table columns from wrapping or disappearing on tablet devices. Specifically, minimum widths were defined for key columns, and column visibility was optimized for different screen sizes.

### 1.0.1 — 2026-07-03

Fixed layout overflow issue on iPad where the Guard Portal content was shifting off-center due to a conflict between the desktop sidebar and the tablet icon-sidebar rendering simultaneously
Tightened tablet detection logic so iPads at 1024px and wider correctly use the full desktop layout instead of the compact icon sidebar

### 1.0 — 2026-07-01

No release notes.
