Changelog

What has shipped in ToolboxLane so far, in order.

v1.0.0 — Production readiness

  • The contact form now delivers real email through the site's mail service instead of only logging submissions, protected by Cloudflare Turnstile spam verification.
  • Redesigned the language switcher as a dropdown, and finalized the legal, privacy, and trust pages for launch.
  • Added the site's advertising placement infrastructure and Google AdSense site verification.
  • Prepared the site for production deployment.

v0.6.0 — German localization: /en/ and /de/

  • Every tool, category, and static page now has a real localized URL under /en/ or /de/, with reciprocal hreflang tags.
  • The bare domain is now a lightweight language picker; the old flat URLs (e.g. /image-compressor) permanently redirect to their /en/ equivalent.
  • Every tool's interactive widget — not just its surrounding page content — is now fully translated for German.

v0.5.0 — SEO foundations

  • Added explicit robots directives, sitewide Organization/WebSite structured data, and an automated SEO contract test suite.

v0.4.0 — Search, content, and trust

  • Added the Browse All Tools directory page with search, category filters, and sorting.
  • Added breadcrumb and FAQ structured data to tool and category pages for better search-result previews.
  • Added a troubleshooting section to every tool page, alongside the existing FAQs.
  • Added this changelog, a status page, and a supported browsers page.
  • Added a "Was this tool useful?" widget and a structured issue-type field on the contact form.

v0.3.0 — PDF tools and reliability

  • Added six PDF tools: Split PDF, Reorder PDF Pages, Rotate PDF Pages, Extract PDF Pages, Add Page Numbers, and Remove PDF Metadata.
  • Added real page-thumbnail previews for the four page-level PDF tools, rendered locally.
  • Added output verification so a generated PDF is checked before it's offered for download.

v0.2.0 — Foundation and image tools

  • Added six image tools: Rotate & Flip, Crop Image, SVG to PNG, Add Watermark, Favicon Generator, and Social Media Image Sizes.
  • Added client-side ZIP packaging for tools that generate multiple output files.
  • Added an automated test suite and linting to the project.

v0.1.0 — Initial release

  • Launched with eight core tools: Image Compressor, Image Resizer, Image Converter, HEIC to JPEG Converter, Metadata Remover, Images to PDF, Merge PDF, and QR Code Generator.
  • Established the local-processing architecture every tool since has followed: files never leave your browser.
