### 1.0.1 — 2026-07-11

Demo account: demo@heyromie.app / RomieDemo2026! (pre-approved stay at test hostel, so all features are immediately accessible without needing a real check-in).
What's new in this update: A Friends feature (send/accept/decline friend requests, direct messaging between friends) has been added. This reuses the same safety infrastructure already reviewed and approved under our previous Guideline 1.2 resolution:

- Reporting: Available on any user's profile via the "•••" menu in the top-right corner → "Report User." Reports are logged for staff review (separate from the existing post/comment reporting, which remains a visible "Report" option on individual posts).
- Blocking: Same "•••" menu → "Block User." Blocking is bidirectional and immediately removes the blocked user from Crew/Mates lists, search results, and friend request visibility on both sides.
EULA: The Terms of Service checkbox at signup (required, cannot be bypassed) remains unchanged from the prior approved build.
Forgot Password: Uses a deep-link redirect (romie://confirm) to return users to the app after resetting via email.

If reviewing the Friends feature specifically: from the demo account, search for another test user via the Crew tab search, send a friend request, then visit that user's profile to see the "•••" menu with Report/Block options.

### 1.0 — 2026-07-09

No release notes.
