Development Changelog

This document tracks the development history of Kompass CMS based on git commits.

Unreleased

A pass focused on a unified, reusable color picker, a friendlier media/download block, and theme/asset correctness in the backend.

✨ Features

• Reusable color picker component (<x-kompass::color-picker>). A single Blade component now powers every colour input in the backend. It offers a hue slider, an alpha (opacity) slider, an empty state ("No color"), hex entry (#rgb / #rrggbb / #rrggbbaa), a preset palette, and a checkerboard preview for transparency. The palette is configurable globally via config/kompass.php → color_picker.swatches (overridable per instance with the swatches prop). See Color Picker.
• New color setting field type. Global Settings can now hold a colour value, edited with the new picker (setting_field_types.color).
• Media block with download cards. The block formerly called Images and Gallery is now Media. A new <x-media-item> component renders images as <img>, but non-image files (PDF, doc, xls, zip, …) as a full-width download card (file name + a Download link). See the Media block.
• Posts start with content. Creating a post now automatically inserts a default text block (wysiwyg), so the editor is never empty.
• UI translations for de / en / es / fr. New keys for the color picker, dashboard, and editor; editor source strings unified to English. Backend UI strings live in the package's resources/lang/{de,en,es,fr}.json and can be overridden from your app's lang/ directory.

🛠 Improvements

• Categories use real daisyUI theme variables (var(--color-*)) and render as badge badge-*, replacing the previous hard-coded hex circles.
• Account Settings profile screen adopts the standard backend card layout and daisyUI tokens (primary, base-content) instead of hard-coded indigo/gray classes.
• Existing colour inputs (block color field, block self-colour, the five theme colours, favicon theme-color meta, background overlay) all migrated to the shared picker.

🐛 Fixes

• daisyUI theme override. resources/css/kompass.css now loads daisyUI with themes: false so the built-in default themes no longer override Kompass's custom themes (the backend previously showed default colours). Light theme prefersdark set to false.
• Account form crash. Editing a user without a role no longer throws "Undefined variable $roleid" (AccountForm now reads $model->roles->first()?->id).

💥 Breaking Changes

• Image Overlay Opacity slider removed. The separate background Image Overlay Opacity control is gone. Transparency is now controlled by the alpha slider of the overlay colour itself (#rrggbbaa). The standalone opacity: in admin/layouts/auth.blade.php was removed accordingly. If you relied on the old opacity value, re-set the overlay colour with the alpha slider.
• Backend CSS build moved into the package. The admin stylesheet is built inside the package (cd packages/kompass && bun run build) and copied to public/vendor/kompass via vendor:publish --tag=kompass.assets --force — it is not produced by the project's frontend build. See Building backend assets.
• Dependencies. In kompass-strater-kit/composer.json: prefer-stable changed false → true, and laravel/passkeys ^0.1 → ^0.2. After composer update: passkeys 0.2.1, spatie/laravel-permission 8.0.0, and laravel/framework on stable releases. Review the passkeys setup after upgrading.
