Changelog

All notable changes from the 2026 maintenance revival onward will be documented here. Earlier development history remains available in Git commits and example README journals; dates have not been reconstructed without evidence.

[Unreleased] — 2026 Maintenance Revival

Added

• MIT license for repository-authored source and documentation, with explicit third-party asset exclusions.
• Contribution, maintenance, security, conduct, issue, and pull-request guidance.
• Stable-Flutter CI for the maintained Gardener example.
• Automated widget tests for landing, navigation, results, and distance filtering.
• Dependabot configuration for the maintained Flutter package and GitHub Actions.
• Evidence-based maintenance audit and release-candidate notes.

Changed

• Modernized Gardener for Flutter 3.44 and Dart 3.12.
• Replaced obsolete dependencies and repeated result cards with platform widgets and data-driven components.
• Regenerated Android, iOS, and web scaffolding with the current stable Flutter toolchain.
• Reworked the Gardener layout for narrow and wide viewports and added accessibility labels.
• Reframed the repository README around verified maintenance status and a staged migration roadmap.

Removed

• Tracked editor metadata, generated Flutter files, merge backups, and obsolete sponsorship metadata.
• Stale cryptocurrency donation addresses from the Market App README.

Known limitations

• Friendly Forest, Market App, Application Activity, and the testing sandbox remain legacy Dart 2 examples.
• Historical asset provenance is incomplete; see THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.md.
• Android and iOS builds require platform toolchains not available in the maintenance environment; the web release build is the verified build target for this revival.
