Multi-Bucket Cloud & Recovery Engine

May 19, 2026v1.7.0
  • feat

    Multi-Bucket Registry: Integrated a dynamic Secondary Buckets Credentials JSON registry inside the Admin Settings to coordinate multi-account operations.

  • feat

  • fix

    6GB Storage Limit Uplift: Scaled direct S3 uploads, books metadata routing, and Storage dashboard progress metrics from 5 GB to 6 GB of active headroom.

  • ui

Download Security & UI Polish

May 18, 2026v1.6.0
  • fix

  • ui

    Action Button Alignment: Redesigned the Book Details action buttons (Download, Edit, Upload) to prevent text squishing and clipping on smaller screens.
