What's new
Every change to the portal, newest first. Written for the people who use it, so it says what you can do differently — not which files moved.

0.1.0 —
Added
- Registration, e-mail confirmation and sign-in, with limits on repeated failed attempts and a temporary lockout.
- Products and listings: publish "Sell" or "Buy" offers; a new product becomes publicly visible after an administrator approves it.
- Search: CAS, EC and HS codes are matched exactly and never "corrected", while product text tolerates typos. If the search engine is unavailable, search keeps working in a reduced mode and says so.
- Listing pages with a partially masked seller name for visitors who are not signed in.
- Ratings for sellers and for individual listings, one vote per account.
- "Request quote" messages, with an inbox and read/answered status.
- Two-factor authentication, required for administrators.
- Password reset by e-mail link; changing your password ends all other sessions.
- Reporting a listing, product or seller, with a decision and the reasons for it.
- Changing your e-mail address: confirmation goes to the new address, a warning to the old one, and the old address keeps working until you confirm.
- Download everything the portal holds about you, and close your account with your data anonymised.
Fixed
- The portal keeps working when the session cache is unavailable; you are signed out, but nothing else breaks.
- The search index never receives e-mail addresses, IP addresses or password hashes — only the public fields of a listing.
Each day with changes is one version. A day is published as a whole at the end of that day, so what you see here is finished rather than half-written.
The portal is in testing and not publicly available yet, so dates are when a change was built rather than released.
