AdventureLog v0.13.1 "Cadillac"

Released 11-01-2026

Hi everyone!

I'm excited to announce AdventureLog v0.13.1 "Cadillac", a follow-up to Acadia focused on logging places cleanly, managing your account with confidence, and keeping data consistent. This update adds duplicate-place detection, a preferred date format, faster visit logging, richer collection ZIP transfers, and a frontend refresh on Svelte 5, DaisyUI 5, and Tailwind CSS 4.

📍 Smarter Location Logging

• Duplicate detection while adding a place, matched by similar name, address, and nearby coordinates
• A warning asks Did you mean …? and offers Open existing, with the distance shown in your measurement system
• Add Today records a visit for the current day in one click
• Manage Visits from location cards and collection views, opening the editor on the visits step
• Categories created during quick-add are saved with the new location
• Fetch Description can pull a place summary from Google Maps when that integration is enabled, alongside Wikipedia
• The Immich photo picker opens on the latest visit date when a place has visits

📅 Date and Time Preferences

• New preferred date format in Settings: browser default, MM/DD/YYYY, DD/MM/YYYY, or YYYY-MM-DD
• Clock times follow that choice: 12-hour for browser default and MM/DD/YYYY, 24-hour for DD/MM/YYYY and YYYY-MM-DD
• Shared date and time picker across visits, lodging, transport, and other dated fields
• Calendar and the rest of the app display dates with the same preference

📄 Collection Export and Import

• Collection ZIP export includes trip start and end dates
• Lodging export includes check-in, check-out, timezone, reservation number, price, and coordinates
• Transportation export includes the end time and origin and destination coordinates
• Notes and checklists round-trip with their dates and items
• Older ZIP files that used previous field names still import
• Collection PDF export splits long notes and descriptions across pages so large itineraries stay printable

👤 Accounts, Security, and Settings

• Settings is organized into Profile, Emails, Security, Integrations, Data & Storage, Danger Zone, About, and Administration for staff
• Sign in with username or email
• Password rules are shown on signup, password change, and reset
• ACCOUNT_PASSWORD_MIN_LENGTH sets the minimum length (default 6)
• AUTH_PASSWORD_VALIDATORS_ENABLED can also reject common, all-numeric, and profile-similar passwords
• Active sessions: see where you are signed in and sign out other devices
• Password confirmation before turning multi-factor authentication on or off
• Delete account removes locations, collections, media, and integrations, and cancels an active AdventureLog Cloud subscription
• Staff accounts stay in place until an administrator removes staff status
• Invitation links open a dedicated signup flow for the invited email, with clear messages for expired, used, or invalid invites
• Social sign-in failures land on a page that explains what happened
• Media storage usage is shown in settings

🗺️ Maps and World Data

• Map drawing stays stable while the map is resized
• Regions missing their own coordinates use the country centroid so they can still be placed
• CARTO now requires a free API key for its raster basemaps. Set PUBLIC_CARTO_BASEMAP_API_KEY to enable Light, Dark, Positron, Positron + Labels, Voyager, and 3D Terrain. Without a key, those styles are hidden, and a previously saved choice falls back to the default instead of blank tiles (#1277)
• The default basemap follows the theme. Without a CARTO key, light mode uses OpenFreeMap Bright and dark mode uses OpenFreeMap Dark. With PUBLIC_CARTO_BASEMAP_API_KEY set, light mode uses CARTO Positron and dark mode uses CARTO Dark Matter. OpenFreeMap Liberty stays an optional style and does not change with the theme
• Bundled country and region data updated to v3.2
• Photo location pins stay on the map when an image or its coordinates are missing
• Card menus flip to stay on screen, with clearer roles for assistive technology

🎨 Frontend Foundation

• Frontend migrated to Svelte 5
• UI kit updated to DaisyUI 5 and Tailwind CSS 4
• Location editing avoids reactive update loops that could stall the editor
• The timezone selector starts from the browser timezone

🛠️ Operations and Community

• Easypanel deployment guide for the one-click AdventureLog template (#1283)
• Startup checks require SITE_URL to begin with http:// or https://
• Added a Code of Conduct and Security Policy, and refreshed contribution guidelines and issue templates

🌐 Languages

• New Alemannic, Indonesian, and Luxembourgish locales
• Weblate updates across Arabic, Catalan, Chinese (Simplified), Czech, Dutch, French, German, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Norwegian Bokmål, Polish, Portuguese, Portuguese (Brazil), Romanian, Russian, Slovak, Spanish, Swedish, Tamil, Turkish, and Ukrainian

✨ Miscellaneous

• Itinerary items keep a stable content type so each day retains its locations, lodging, transport, notes, and checklists
• Broader automated tests for auth, invites, sessions, collection ZIP transfer, duplicates, and billing webhooks
• General UI polish and backend error-handling refinements
