- Remove Mattermost integration (OAuth, channel bridge, file sync watcher,
frontend import modal). RefBoard now ships as a self-contained app.
- Replace SSO Login screen with email/password form (+ optional register link
gated by ALLOW_SELF_REGISTRATION).
- Add SEED_ADMIN_EMAIL / SEED_ADMIN_PASSWORD env-var bootstrap so a fresh
install ships with an admin account on first boot (idempotent).
- ALLOW_SELF_REGISTRATION flag (default false) gates POST /api/auth/register.
First user can always register (auto-promoted to admin).
- Drop mattermost_id and mm_file_id columns + board_channel_links table
from the schema; remove related db helpers and exports.
- Add MIT LICENSE, comprehensive README, .env.example, docker-compose.yml
(bundles MinIO so one command boots a working stack).
- Expand .gitignore for typical Node + Docker dev artefacts.
- Background media worker: polls media_jobs table, runs ffprobe+ffmpeg
with concurrency limit, generates video posters, emits socket events
- Non-blocking video upload: stores file + enqueues job, returns immediately
- Poster hydration on board load: GET /boards/:id injects poster/dimensions
from DB into canvas_state video objects
- SpatialGrid: fixed-cell (512px) spatial hash for O(nearby) culling instead
of O(all) item scanning, eliminates setTimeout violations
- Canvas-based video rendering: draws video frames to offscreen canvas then
uploads to GPU, completely eliminates GL_INVALID_OPERATION errors from
PixiJS VideoSource auto-update mechanism
- Server poster upgrade path: culling ticker and applyProcessedMedia() both
upgrade client-captured posters to server posters when available
- Pause restores server poster (paused video behaves like an image)
- Selection drag-end persistence: onObjectDragEnd broadcasts + saves + undo
- Live media:job:update socket handler patches scene data + VideoSprite
dimensions without broadcast fanout
Video memory:
- Lazy <video> creation: constructor makes placeholder only, initVideo()
creates element with preload='metadata' when near viewport
- Tiered budgets: 1 playing / 6 initialized / 4 poster textures max
- Aggressive teardown: offscreen videos lose <video> element, poster,
and all textures — zero memory for offscreen videos
- Poster textures dropped while playing (don't keep both resident)
- Dimension caching in scene data (nativeW/nativeH) avoids re-init
Server:
- HTTP Range support (206 Partial Content) for video seeking
- Proper end clamping and invalid range rejection (416)
Sync:
- Remove redundant broadcastSceneDebounced() from broadcastTransform()
- Remove duplicate broadcastElements() from drag-end handler
VideoControls:
- Event-driven (timeupdate/play/pause/seeked) instead of rAF polling
- Tracks actual HTMLVideoElement reference, rebinds on init/teardown
- Seek uses ref-based commit on pointerUp, not conditional onChange
Remove server-side Sharp resize and texture dimension cap — PixiJS
handles large textures natively. Keep the proper Assets.unload() fix
to prevent "TextureSource destroyed instead of unloaded" warnings.
- Add mm_file_id column to images table for dedup tracking
- mm-pull fetches posts from MM API, downloads media files, uploads with LOD to MinIO
- Register bridge routes in server.js under /api/boards
Full-featured PureRef-style collaborative canvas for game dev teams:
- Layer panel with visibility, lock, drag reorder, group/ungroup (Ctrl+G/Shift+G)
- Arrangement tools (grid, row, column) via right-click context menu
- Copy to system clipboard (Ctrl+C writes PNG for external paste in Paint etc.)
- Number shortcuts (1-5) for tool selection with visible shortcut badges
- Premium dark UI across all pages (Login, Collections, Boards, Editor)
- Socket.IO rooms for cursors, transforms, and presence notifications
- MinIO image storage with backend proxy, drag/drop and paste upload
