v0.2.8May 2026
Wheel Transparency & Auto-Save
- NewEvery wheel spin — both giveaway Survival Wheels and standalone Custom Wheels — is now auto-saved to a public, provably fair transparency page at /wheel/[id] with the seed hash, full entrant list, elimination order, and verification details
- NewGiveaway-mode wheel sessions link back to their parent giveaway so visitors can jump from a wheel record to the underlying transparency page in one click
- ImprovedWheel records are tagged with their mode (giveaway vs custom) so the transparency page renders the right context and back-link without ambiguity
- FixAuto-save is race-safe: the server recomputes the seed hash on write and rejects any submission whose committed hash does not match, so a wheel record cannot be tampered with in transit
- SecurityWheel session writes require a valid bearer token and enforce ownership invariants server-side, so one host cannot create or overwrite another host's wheel record
v0.2.7May 2026
Quote-Post Stats Accuracy
- FixQuote counts now show correctly on the dashboard active card, completed card, and the giveaway detail page for quote-only and quote+follow giveaways — previously these surfaces always read "Quotes: 0" because the host-side loaders fetched an explicit column list that omitted the quotes column
- FixReposts count now shows correctly on the giveaway detail page — same root-cause column-list omission as quotes, fixed alongside it
- FixScheduled cron sync now fetches quoters before the follows add-on so quote-only entrants are included in the follow-status batch check, and reconciles stale quote participant rows the same way it handles likes and reposts
- FixMulti-criteria eligibility checks now correctly include quote-based entries, so a "quote + follow" giveaway credits accounts that did both
- ImprovedFollow-status batch lookups for multi-criteria giveaways (quote+follow, comment+follow, like+follow) run more efficiently, reducing X API quota consumption
v0.2.6May 2026
Survival Wheel & Custom Wheel
- NewSurvival Wheel — a new elimination draw mode that spins entrants off one at a time instead of picking the final winner immediately, with running survivor/eliminated counts, color coding, and a persistent toast announcing each eliminated entrant
- NewCustom Survival Wheel — a standalone freeform elimination wheel on the dashboard that lets you paste any list of names, supports weighted duplicate entries, and shares the same spin mechanics as the giveaway wheel
- NewFirst-open tutorial on the Custom Wheel explains the controls; can be re-opened at any time from the settings panel
- ImprovedWheel modals now expand up to 1600 px on wide screens and reflow the alive/eliminated lists into an auto-fill grid so names stay readable as the panel grows
- ImprovedEach side panel can collapse independently, and a divider between them can be dragged to split the height however you want — collapsed state and split percentage are remembered
- ImprovedSpin duration is configurable, the auto-spin toggle is always visible, entrants are de-duplicated by username, and each spin lands precisely on the chosen segment (the previous implementation drifted as rotations accumulated)
- ImprovedWheel participant cap raised to 250 so large giveaways render the full pool on the wheel without truncation
- ImprovedWheel input modal polish — name input box widened on desktop and mobile, on-wheel name rendering and size tuned for legibility at high entry counts, parser is more forgiving, content is vertically centered, and survivor / eliminated boxes fill the full wheel height on desktop
- FixSkull icon at the wheel center is properly aligned on the rotation pivot (was offset by 1 px previously)
- Fix"1 (classic)" preset button in wheel settings re-aligned with the other presets so the row reads consistently
- FixQuick Pick dark-mode dropdowns — the Winners and Entrant Cap select options now render with the app's background and foreground colors in dark mode instead of inheriting the OS default white background
- FixGiveaway participant counts are accurate and consistent across the active card, detail page, and View Participants page
v0.2.5April 2026
Free Tier Lowered to 3 Live Giveaways
- ImprovedFree tier cap lowered from 5 to 3 live giveaways at a time — deleting a giveaway still frees a slot, and Pro/Agency plans remain unlimited
- ImprovedDashboard Create X / Create YouTube buttons are now tier-aware: at the cap they disable and show an inline note with a one-click link to upgrade to Pro or Agency
- ImprovedServer-side create endpoint returns an updated message naming the new 3-giveaway limit so any client that bypasses the disabled button still gets a clear upgrade prompt
- ImprovedPricing page Free tier copy updated to "Up to 3 live giveaways"
v0.2.4April 2026
Free Tier Giveaway Limit & Pricing Roadmap Badges
- NewFree tier is now capped at 5 active giveaways at a time — deleting an existing giveaway frees up a slot, and Pro and Agency plans remain unlimited
- NewServer-side enforcement on the giveaway create endpoint returns a clear error with an upgrade prompt when a free user reaches the cap, preventing the limit from being bypassed by the client
- NewPricing page Free tier card now lists "Up to 5 giveaways at a time" and Pro/Agency cards explicitly show "Unlimited giveaways"
- ImprovedPro and Agency plan cards now show feature status badges so visitors understand exactly what is available today versus what is planned
- ImprovedPro Tier and Agency Tier cards trimmed to currently-live features only — roadmap items are shown separately on the product roadmap
- ImprovedDashboard giveaway cards now always show an Entry Type row (Like, Comment, Repost, Follow, Quote) so likes-only or other single-action giveaways no longer appear empty
- FixQuote-post giveaways now display the correct "Quote Repost" entry-type label on both the public transparency page and the dashboard card — previously they were mislabeled as "Repost" because the quotes flag was being conflated with reposts during creation
v0.2.3April 2026
Account-Level Bot Detection
- NewAutomatic bot detection on X uses layered account and activity signals to flag suspicious giveaway entries without exposing bypassable detection thresholds publicly
- NewHosts can manually mark a flagged entry as eligible from the participants tab when an automated filter catches a real user. The override persists across syncs
- ImprovedBot filtering applies to all X entry types: comments, likes, reposts, follows, and quote posts
- ImprovedHost-side participant records include enough context to review suspicious entries and override false positives when appropriate
- ImprovedFlagged entries remain visible to the host for auditability, but are excluded from the eligible draw pool
v0.2.2April 2026
Participant Eligibility Accuracy
- FixEligible count on the dashboard now accurately reflects the actual draw pool for mixed giveaways — for giveaways requiring both a comment and an engagement action (e.g. likes), synthetic engagement records are now marked ineligible since only commenters can win
- FixParticipants who performed multiple engagement actions (e.g. both liked and reposted) now have all their actions recorded — previously only the first action seen was captured, which could affect eligibility checks for complex giveaway configurations
v0.2.1March 2026
Transparency Page Navigation Fix
- FixTransparency pages for Pro and Founder plan hosts now correctly display the Toren header and navigation — previously these hosts saw a completely blank header after sharing their giveaway link
- FixToren header is now hidden only when a host has actively configured Agency white-label branding, not for all paid plan users
- FixClaim API routes updated to correctly handle Next.js 16 async params, resolving 400 errors when accessing claim links
v0.2.0March 2026
Winner Redemption Portal
- NewPrivate prize claim links: each winner automatically receives a unique, secret URL the host can copy and send via DM — no manual coordination needed
- NewPublic claim page at /claim/[token] where winners verify their X identity via OAuth, confirm they are the correct account, and submit their contact details to the host
- NewX identity verification on the claim page is ephemeral — only the username is checked and the session is immediately signed out, no full account is created
- NewPrize contact fields: hosts can specify exactly what information they need from winners at giveaway creation (e.g. email, shipping address, Discord) — shown as dynamic form fields on the claim page
- NewRedemption status tracking in the winner modal: each winner shows a color-coded badge — red Not Redeemed, yellow Processing, green Completed
- NewOne-click status updates directly in the winner modal — hosts can move a winner through the redemption pipeline without leaving the page
- NewClaim link copy button per winner in the modal, with instructional text reminding the host to send the link privately
- ImprovedCSV winner export now includes Redemption Status and Claim Link columns
- SystemDB migration adds claim_token and redemption_status columns to winner_records, a new winner_claims table, and prize_contact_fields to giveaways — run via /api/admin/migrate
v0.1.9March 2026
Provably Fair Platform Standard
- NewNew public page at /provably-fair-platform explaining the Provably Fair designation, Toren's long-term vision for industry standardization, and the six requisites any platform must meet
- NewSix core characteristics of Toren's implementation listed at a principled level, consistent with a standard that mandates outcomes rather than a single prescribed approach
- NewForward-looking statement on a planned certification program through which any promotional sweepstakes platform could apply for independent verification of compliance
- ImprovedFooter copyright updated to include a clickable "A Provably Fair Platform" link on every page, directing users to the new standard page
v0.1.8March 2026
X Post Preview & Entry Type UX
- NewGiveaway creation Step 1 now shows a live post preview card after a valid X post URL is confirmed — displays author avatar, name, handle, full post text, media (photo or video thumbnail), and post date
- ImprovedExternal link icon in the preview card opens the original post on X in a new tab for quick manual verification
- ImprovedPost data is sourced from the same API call already made during URL validation — no extra network requests
- ImprovedLikes, Reposts, and Follows entry type options temporarily removed from giveaway creation and the Change Entry Type modal until the underlying data collection is fully reliable — Comments remains the active entry method
v0.1.7March 2026
White-Label Branding Dashboard
- NewNew /dashboard/branding page for agency plan users — a dedicated, purpose-built interface for managing all white-label settings in one place
- NewColor pickers with hex input fields for Primary, Accent, and Background theme colors, each with a reset-to-default button and description of where the color appears
- NewLogo and favicon upload with live image preview in the panel
- NewBrand name, tagline, and footer text fields with real-time updates in the preview panel
- NewLive preview panel that renders a simulated giveaway card and updates as colors, logo, and text change — no need to save to see the result
- Improved"Branding" link added to the header account dropdown for agency users only
- ImprovedNon-agency users who visit /dashboard/branding see an explanatory locked state with an upgrade prompt rather than a broken page
v0.1.6March 2026
Provably Fair Proof Accuracy
- FixEligible Entries count in the fairness proof now correctly shows the shrinking pool size per winner — Winner #2 correctly displays one fewer eligible entry than Winner #1, and so on
- FixModulus in the winner index derivation formula on the transparency page now reflects the actual pool size at the time each winner was selected, not the total eligible count
- Fix"From X eligible entries" label in the proof steps now correctly decrements per winner for no-duplicate draws
- ImprovedThe pool_size field stored per winner at draw time is now read correctly throughout the public proof display, with a safe fallback to total eligible count for legacy draws that predate this field
v0.1.5March 2026
ASCII Pool Ordering
- ImprovedPool sorting switched from locale-sensitive comparison to deterministic ASCII (Unicode code-point) order — no locale or environment settings can affect the result
- ImprovedHandles containing digits, uppercase letters, underscores, and lowercase letters now sort in consistent, well-defined order across all environments
- ImprovedTransparency page verbiage updated to describe ASCII ordering precisely, replacing the ambiguous "A to Z" phrasing
- ImprovedInline proof log and code comments updated to reflect the exact sort method used
v0.1.4March 2026
Multi-Select Entry Types
- NewEntry types are now multi-select — hosts can combine Comments, Likes, Reposts, and Follows in any combination
- NewFollows added as a supported entry type, fetching followers of the connected X account via the X API
- ImprovedEntry types stored as a JSON array in the database, with full backwards compatibility for legacy single-type giveaways
- ImprovedGiveaway creation step 2 updated to a multi-toggle UI with all four entry type options
- ImprovedChange Entry Type modal on the live dashboard also updated to the multi-toggle UI
- FixStale participant cleanup now correctly handles mixed entry types — deselecting one type only removes records for that type, leaving others intact
v0.1.3March 2026
Provably Fair Algorithm v2
- ImprovedPool ordering changed to lexicographic order by X handle, making the draw fully reproducible without timestamps
- ImprovedShrinking modulus algorithm for multi-winner draws without duplicate winners, so each subsequent winner is drawn from a smaller pool
- NewExtended proof fields now stored per winner: pool_index, pool_size, and pool_ordering
- ImprovedVerification center now reconstructs the correct formula for each individual winner using their own stored derivation data
- FixPublic eligible entrants list on the transparency page now sorted to exactly match the draw order
- ImprovedTransparency page updated to explain that entry indexes are assigned by handle order, not by timestamp
