Changelog

# Changelog

All notable changes to the License Plate Photo Logger are documented here.

[1.2.30] - 2026-07-25

Changed

• `view_log.php` search filtering now refreshes immediately while typing, clearing the search field, or using browser search-input controls.

[1.2.29] - 2026-07-25

Changed

• `view_log.php` now uses a denser desktop table layout with narrower status, confidence, favorite, scanner, GPS, and original-file columns.
• The main log table now shows `Yes` for GPS presence instead of full coordinates.

Added

• `view_log.php` now includes a `More Info` overlay for full per-plate metadata, including GPS coordinates and other hidden table details.
• `index.php` now shows the most recently uploaded image so the next upload batch has a visible starting reference.

[1.2.28] - 2026-07-25

Fixed

• `view_log.php` now refreshes duplicate cards and duplicate-plate group listings after in-page deletes or edits instead of leaving stale counts visible until a reload.

Added

• `view_log.php` now supports per-row and bulk `Re-process` actions for existing saved photos, including a quick `Select Missing Plate` helper.
• `reprocess_entry.php` was added to rescan any saved log entry with the current scanner mode.

[1.2.27] - 2026-07-25

Fixed

• `deleted_audit.php` photo links now open in the same large closable overlay used by the log page instead of navigating away to the raw image file.

[1.2.26] - 2026-07-25

Fixed

• `view_log.php` overlays no longer show up stacked on page load or conflict with each other when opening photo preview, edit, or delete dialogs.
• `style.css` now keeps hidden overlays truly hidden until JavaScript opens them.

[1.2.25] - 2026-07-25

Fixed

• `start-local-server.ps1` was adapted from the copied HumidorHQ version to work for the `license-plate` PHP app locally.

[1.2.24] - 2026-07-25

Fixed

• Main pages now load `style.css` with a revision query string so stale cached CSS does not hide newer layout and photo-preview changes on the live site.

[1.2.23] - 2026-07-25

Fixed

• The log table columns were rebalanced after becoming too wide on desktop; long-text columns now wrap sooner and the overall table width is reduced.

[1.2.22] - 2026-07-25

Fixed

• The upload page now uses the wider desktop layout instead of the narrower centered container.
• The upload results and log tables now use larger minimum column widths so headers and values do not feel cramped.

[1.2.21] - 2026-07-25

Fixed

• Photo links in the log now keep a direct browser fallback to the uploaded image if the preview overlay cannot open.
• The photo preview click handler now only prevents normal link navigation after the overlay is available.

[1.2.20] - 2026-07-25

Fixed

• The stats upload chart now renders visible colored bars instead of only counts and date labels.
• The chart now uses the full page width and shows an empty-state message when there are no uploads to graph.

[1.2.19] - 2026-07-25

Added

• Deleted-audit purges are now written to a separate purge log with purge time, trigger, item count, and removed archived-photo count.
• The deleted audit page now displays purge history so manual or future automatic purges remain visible after the deleted audit is cleared.

[1.2.18] - 2026-07-25

Fixed

• Deleted audit dates now display as `YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS` in Eastern time instead of raw ISO timestamps.
• Uploaded, date-taken, stats date grouping, and project modified timestamps now use shared Eastern display helpers.

[1.2.17] - 2026-07-25

Added

• The log page now supports selecting multiple entries and deleting them with one shared reason.

Fixed

• Deleting entries no longer reloads the page, so the active log filter and search stay in place.

[1.2.16] - 2026-07-25

Added

• The delete confirmation dialog now includes quick reason buttons for duplicate uploads, wrong uploads, and bad plate reads.

[1.2.15] - 2026-07-25

Fixed

• The log summary widgets now keep visible text and counts without requiring hover.
• The log page uses more of the available browser width.
• Log table columns are wider so values wrap less awkwardly and rely on horizontal scrolling for dense data.

[1.2.14] - 2026-07-25

Added

• The project revision and modified timestamp badge now appears in the corner of the main app pages, not just the upload page.

[1.2.13] - 2026-07-25

Fixed

• The app now reads the tracked `CHANGELOG.md` filename correctly on case-sensitive servers, restoring the visible changelog content and modified timestamp.

[1.2.12] - 2026-07-25

Added

• Active log entries can now be deleted with a required reason.
• Deleted items are now tracked on a dedicated deleted-audit page with deleted date/time, age in days, and permanent-delete actions.
• A purge button can now clear the deleted audit and archived deleted photos after confirmation.

Changed

• Deleted photos are moved into a `deleted/` folder when they are no longer referenced by another active entry.

[1.2.11] - 2026-07-25

Added

• Clicking a day bar on the stats page now opens the log already filtered to that uploaded date.

[1.2.10] - 2026-07-25

Fixed

• Clicking `photo` in the log now reliably opens the in-page preview overlay again.

[1.2.9] - 2026-07-25

Fixed

• The log summary counters now show their text and counts without requiring hover.
• Clicking a log summary counter now visibly acts as a filter and jumps to the entries table.

Changed

• The daily upload graph was moved off the log page and into a separate `Stats` page.

[1.2.8] - 2026-07-25

Added

• Log entries can now be edited in place for manual plate/state correction.
• Plates can now be marked as favorites and assigned a personal preference rank from 1 to 10.

Changed

• Corrected entries now show the original scanner plus `Manual` in the scanner column.

[1.2.7] - 2026-07-25

Added

• The log page now shows a bar chart of how many plates were uploaded per day, based on the stored upload timestamp.

[1.2.6] - 2026-07-25

Changed

• Photo links in the log now open a large in-page overlay preview instead of navigating directly to the image file.

Added

• The image preview can be dismissed with the `X` button, by clicking outside the image, or by pressing `Escape`.

[1.2.5] - 2026-07-25

Fixed

• The top log summary cards now trigger filtering more explicitly and show which filter is active.
• `changelog.php` now reflects the current revision and uses the wider page layout.

[1.2.4] - 2026-07-25

Changed

• The log page now uses the full desktop content width instead of the narrower centered container.
• The count widgets are now smaller, denser, and better suited for dashboard-style filtering.
• The log table columns now have minimum widths so headers no longer wrap into unreadable narrow stacks.

Clarified

• Failed pending items are still selected with the first-column checkboxes, and the pending section keeps `Select All Failed` plus `Retry Selected Failed` for bulk retry.

[1.2.3] - 2026-07-25

Fixed

• The upload page now clears the selected batch after processing so the same files cannot be re-run accidentally with one tap.
• The batch buttons now stack cleanly on narrow mobile screens.
• The batch results table now uses horizontal scrolling instead of collapsing into unreadable narrow columns on mobile.

Changed

• The upload summary now explicitly tells the user to choose new files after a completed batch.

[1.2.2] - 2026-07-25

Added

• Duplicate and repeated-plate entries now store a local `clarity_score`.
• Repeated-plate groups now flag the clearest available photo.
• The log shows a sortable `Clarity` column.

Changed

• Restored `changelog.md` as the visible changelog source used by `changelog.php`.

Added

• `changelog.php` page that renders the project changelog from `changelog.md`.
• `Changelog` navigation link on the upload and log pages.
• Front-page project revision and changelog modified timestamp badge.

Changed

• The project now uses `changelog.md` as the visible changelog source.
• `config.php` provides shared helpers for project revision, changelog modified time, and changelog rendering.

[1.2.0] - 2026-07-25

• EXIF/IPTC metadata capture for `date_taken`, `photo_state`, and GPS coordinates.
• Scanner state capture as `plate_state` when OpenAI or OCR text reveals the plate state.
• Client-side log search across plate, state, GPS, date taken, file, and message fields.
• `State`, `Date Taken`, and `GPS` columns on the log page.

Changed

• Metadata fields are now written into `data/plate-log.json` and preserved in `data/file-hashes.json`.
