Breaking changes

• Navigation has been completely redesigned — any custom navigation modifications will need to be re-implemented.
• Datatable drawer editing has been replaced by dedicated pages — extensions that relied on drawers will need updating.
• API key management has changed shape — check that your integrations still work against it.

Your data is preserved

• All user data, configurations and settings are preserved during migration.
• Database schema migrations are handled automatically by the updator.
• Extension data remains intact throughout the upgrade.

After migrating

1. Verify all navigation menus are rendering correctly
2. Test datatable functionality across all management pages
3. Confirm KYC applications and support tickets are accessible
4. Validate API integrations and webhook endpoints
5. Review transaction logs for data integrity

Changed

Navigation

• Changed core and extension navigation into a single framework rather than two separate systems.
• Added a colour scheme per extension, so it is visually clear which one you are in.
• Changed every menu across core and all extensions to be properly responsive and accessible on mobile.
• Changed the mega menu to a modern layout with a clearer information hierarchy.
• Added a wallet button in the navigation bar showing live balances across every wallet type, with profit and loss for quick portfolio monitoring and one click through to the detail.

Management screens

• Changed all 114 management tables to a modern design, each with a hero section carrying contextual information.
• Added a card view for tables, which works considerably better on mobile, and expandable cards for viewing the detail of a record.
• Fixed and standardised validation across all table columns.
• Changed drawer-based editing to dedicated create and edit pages, generated from the column settings and validating against them, which gives a full-page editing experience.
• Changed multi-select controls to load their values faster.
• Changed over 50 analytics pages, with charts that respond properly on mobile and better refresh handling for live data.

Binary trading

• Changed binary trading pages to load without the previous delay, with a loading state shaped like the finished page so it feels faster still.
• Changed the binary trading interface for mobile, with better touch interaction.

Blog

• Changed the blog to a modern content management interface, with an improved editor and streamlined category and tag management.

KYC

• Added standalone pages for reviewing and managing KYC applications, with an applications overview that filters and searches.
• Added NFT, Gateway and Copy Trading to the features that can be gated by KYC level.
• Changed the verification workflow, with better document preview.

Support

• Changed the admin support centre completely.
• Added a dedicated support chat page for administrators, and customisable support pages.
• Changed ticket organisation and response workflows.

Transactions

• Added standalone pages for transaction logs, withdrawal management with approval workflows, and deposit tracking with live status.
• Changed search and filtering across all transaction types.

API keys

• Changed the Payment API out of core API key management and into the Gateway extension, which is where it belongs.

Performance

• Changed backend startup and resource handling, making the backend server load roughly ten times faster.
• Changed page load times across management interfaces, and rendering performance for large tables.
• Changed caching for frequently accessed data.

Bitcoin deposits

• Changed the Bitcoin deposit scanner to fall back automatically when a source is unavailable: a local Bitcoin node first for the fastest response, then Mempool.space, then BlockCypher. The first working source is used.

Cron jobs

• Changed each scheduled job to live with the extension it belongs to, so updating an extension brings its scheduled jobs with it and there is less to configure by hand.

Security and dependencies

• Changed Next.js to the latest version, which includes critical security patches, and updated all backend modules to their latest stable versions, addressing known vulnerabilities in dependencies.

Copy Trading

• Added permissions and full platform support for the Copy Trading addon, including the role-based permissions and the API endpoints it needs, and feature flags to switch it on conditionally.

Logging

• Changed logging to be grouped by feature across every endpoint, which makes tracing a problem in the logs considerably faster.
