Format follows Keep a Changelog. Versioning follows Semantic Versioning adapted for a platform product (see Versioning Convention below).

Versioning Convention

FreeMix uses semver with the following meaning:

MAJOR (X.0.0): Phase boundary or breaking changes to the platform’s core model (auth, licensing, commerce)
MINOR (1.X.0): New feature batches, new content types, new license tiers, significant UI additions
PATCH (1.0.X): Bug fixes, polish, non-functional improvements found during testing

Version	Phase	Milestone
1.x.x	Alpha	Core upload/browse/remix/license, invite-only
2.x.x	Beta	Public invite codes, wider audience, security hardened
3.x.x	Commerce	Royalty cascade, payments, Pro tier

Alpha 1.1.0 — Self-hosted identity, granular permissions, record verification, key detection, and UI polish.

Namespace migration: Migrated all lexicons to fm.freemix.* per ATProto namespace authority rules
Granular permission sets: Replaced legacy transition:generic with a purpose-built permission set covering all FreeMix record types, with explicit scopes for Bluesky social primitives
Lexicon publishing: 8 lexicons published and verified via DNS TXT records
Self-hosted PDS: FreeMix PDS live with user handles as yourname.freemix.fm. Invite-only registration with full account creation flow

CID snapshots: Every record’s content identifier is captured at creation time for tamper detection
Periodic verification: Automated checks detect if records have been modified or deleted on-PDS
Remote attestation: Independent attestation proofs created for all license grants, attributions, tracks, and stems — stored in a separate repo that content owners cannot delete

Key detection: Musical key detection now live via WASM-powered audio analysis. Filters atonal/percussive content automatically. Full pipeline now covers fingerprint, BPM, key, waveform, and preview generation
Complete audio analysis: Every upload is analyzed for tempo, musical key, audio fingerprint, and generates a waveform visualization and preview MP3

Add stems after upload: “Add Stems” button on Track Detail page lets track owners add stems to existing tracks (up to 12 per track)
Download All: One-click download of all stems as a ZIP file via server-side streaming
Cross-post idempotency: Sharing to Bluesky is now idempotent — prevents duplicate posts on double-click

New tier: FM:Samples — 0% royalty tier for samples (building blocks for production). Samples are distinct from stems
Renamed: FM:Stems Only → FM:Stems for clarity
Tier ordering: Open > Remix > Stems/DJ > Samples > NonCommercial

Playback progress: Time display now shows current progress (0:42 / 7:07) when a track is playing, across all card types and the track detail page
Activity feed waveforms: Upload, like, and repost activity cards now include interactive waveform visualizations with hover-to-play
Activity feed artwork: Track artwork positioned on right side of activity cards with hover-to-play
Independent playback: Playing a track from one location no longer triggers play state on the same track elsewhere on the page
Metadata icons: BPM (pulse), Key (note), and Duration (clock) icons for quick visual scanning across all track displays
Profile page: Horizontal compact track cards with cover art
Footer redesign: Clean 3-column layout with navigation and copyright
Login copy: Updated to reference both FreeMix and Bluesky accounts

Third code audit: 10-section comprehensive audit. Zero critical issues, consistent auth guards on all mutation routes, clean environment configuration, no dead code or unused dependencies
Zero any types: Strict TypeScript maintained across the entire codebase

Dev/prod separation: Fully isolated development and production environments with separate databases, storage buckets, and visual indicators
Environment-aware audio URLs: Audio playback works correctly across all environments

NDA finalized for alpha testers
PRO blanket licenses: Determined non-blocking by legal counsel
License Framework v07: Updated with hosting provisions, reviewed by attorney

Alpha 1.0.0 — Core platform functional. First successful demo.
