v1.0.0 - First Stable Release ​

Released: March 10, 2026

🎉 DBackup 1.0.0 — the first stable release. Stabilizes the platform after the beta phase with quality-of-life fixes, stale execution recovery, update notifications, and dashboard polish.

⚠️ Breaking: All Prisma migrations squashed into a single 0_init migration. Existing beta databases are not compatible. Export your config via Settings → Config Backup before upgrading, then re-import after npx prisma migrate deploy.

✨ Features ​

  • sessions: Configurable session lifetime (1h–90d), sessions tab in profile with browser/OS icons, revoke individual or all other sessions
  • backup: Stale execution recovery — on startup, detects executions stuck in Running/Pending and marks them as Failed
  • notifications: Update notifications when a new version is detected, with deduplication and configurable reminder intervals (default: 7 days)
  • notifications: Storage alerts and update notifications support repeat intervals (Disabled / 6h / 12h / 24h / 2d / 7d / 14d)
  • jobs: Multi-destination fan-out — upload to unlimited storage destinations per job with per-destination retention policies and Partial status
  • jobs: Database selection moved from Source config to Job form with multi-select DatabasePicker
  • config backup: Enhanced import with statistics toggle, smart encryption recovery, name-based deduplication, and FK remapping
  • validation: Sources, Jobs, Encryption Profiles, and Groups enforce unique names with HTTP 409 and descriptive toasts

🔒 Security ​

  • auth: Fixed middleware matcher to correctly apply rate limiting to authentication endpoints
  • adapters: Strict Zod schemas reject shell metacharacters in adapter config fields (command injection prevention)
  • MSSQL: Database name identifiers now properly escaped with bracket notation (SQL injection prevention)
  • SSO: clientId and clientSecret encrypted at rest with AES-256-GCM

🎨 Improvements ​

  • scheduler: New dual-mode schedule picker with Simple Mode (frequency pills + dropdowns) and Cron Mode with human-readable descriptions
  • jobs: Form restructured into 4 tabs (General, Destinations, Security, Notify) with database picker and inline retention
  • ui: Replaced orange pulsing update indicator with muted blue styling

🐛 Bug Fixes ​

  • Redis: Replaced incorrect multi-select database picker with 0–15 dropdown
  • ui: Fixed database icon showing red instead of yellow for Pending executions
  • API: Bash trigger script checks success: true before parsing; documented history:read requirement
  • auth: Split rate limit module into Edge-safe and server-only to avoid node:crypto import in Edge Runtime
  • config backup: Fixed 7 issues including missing Zod field, download crash, meta format detection, and FK violations
