Full Changelog: v5.0.17...v5.0.19 </Update>

<Update label="v5.0.18" description="14th April 2026"> ## Features & Improvements - Re-enabled **Passkeys** across authentication flows, including passkey sign-in on the login page and passkey management in account settings.

Maintenance

  • Updated dependencies and lockfile.
  • Synced translation catalogs from Crowdin. </Update>
<Update label="v5.0.17" description="9th April 2026"> ## Features & Improvements - Added **Resume Analysis** in the resume builder right sidebar: run an on-demand AI review for an overall score (0 to 100), a dimension scorecard, strengths, and prioritized suggestions. Results are saved per resume and reload after refresh. - When AI features are disabled, the analysis section shows a short notice with a link to **AI Settings** so you can enable your provider and model first. - Improved the **MCP server** experience: updated tools, resources, and prompts; added an MCP server card at `/.well-known/mcp/server-card.json` for compatible clients; refreshed the **Using the MCP server** guide.

Fixes

  • Fixed #2865, incorrect spacing between resume section items in shared layouts.
  • Fixed #2868 affecting resume item presentation and linked titles in shared item components.

Maintenance & CI

  • Downgraded the Cosign installer action to v3 in the Docker build workflow for more reliable image signing.
  • Synced translation catalogs from Crowdin. #2864
  • Dependency and lockfile updates (including changes bundled with MCP and analysis work). </Update>
<Update label="v5.0.16" description="4th April 2026"> ## Features & Improvements - Updated shared resume item layouts (Experience, Education, Awards, Certifications, Publications, References, Volunteer) for better alignment and spacing consistency. - Generated printer pages now set a meaningful document title from the resume owner's name (`<Name> - Resume`) for cleaner PDF metadata and tab titles. [#2863](https://github.com/amruthpillai/reactive-resume/pull/2863)

Fixes

  • Fixed #2733, where date ranges could appear on a separate line unexpectedly in resume items. #2862
  • Adjusted Experience section form field ordering/labels so Location, Position, and Period are mapped and displayed correctly.

Maintenance & Localization

  • Synced translation catalogs across all supported locales.
  • Updated dependencies and lockfile, including AI SDK, TipTap, TanStack Query, and Vite+ package aliases. </Update>
<Update label="v5.0.15" description="1st April 2026"> ## Features & Improvements - Added **LinkedIn sign-in** support for self-hosted instances, including sign-in on the auth page and account linking in settings. - Improved the sign-in experience by showing loading placeholders while social login providers are being fetched. - Resume builder panel sizes are now persisted more reliably, making the layout feel more consistent between sessions. - Added clearer labels for resume sorting and filtering controls on the dashboard.

Fixes

  • Improved autosave reliability in the resume builder:
    • Unsaved edits are flushed before page unload.
    • You now get a clear persistent warning if changes fail to save (for example, due to network issues).
  • Strengthened authentication defaults by increasing the minimum password length requirement to 8 characters.
  • Improved reliability around resume deletion and server-side error handling for create/update operations.
  • Fixed a rare language mix-up during printing/export when multiple print jobs run at the same time, so each PDF/screenshot now reliably uses the correct locale.
  • Improved print stability under heavy usage by reusing in-progress PDF and screenshot generation requests for the same resume instead of starting duplicate jobs.
  • Hardened printer token signing and token/session/API-key verification paths for better security.
  • Improved resilience in AI tailoring output parsing and JSON Resume import normalization.
  • Printer service now provides descriptive error messages ("Failed to generate PDF" / "Failed to capture screenshot") instead of generic internal server errors.
  • Job descriptions in the job detail sheet now render HTML formatting (headings, lists, bold text) instead of showing raw tags.
  • Fixed the "Tailor Resume" button being incorrectly disabled when AI is not configured — the dialog already supports plain resume duplication as a fallback.
  • Fixed the tailor resume flow to open the resume builder in a new tab while keeping the job listing open for reference, instead of navigating away and auto-opening the application page.
  • Apply option links in the job detail sheet are now validated before rendering, preventing malformed or potentially unsafe URLs.
  • Improved job card loading skeletons to match the actual card layout (logo, title, badges) for a smoother loading experience.
  • Centered the "Configure Job Search" empty state on the page.
  • Extracted the JobCard component into its own file for better code organization.
