sparQ 1.1.0 released!

1.1.0

[1.1.0] - 2026-07-21

Changed

  • Self-hosted frontend libraries — vendored frontend assets instead of loading from a CDN, and cache them with per-file content hashes for faster, dependency-free page loads

Added

  • Update check — sparQ periodically checks for a newer release and logs when one is available. The check is anonymous (it transmits nothing about your instance) and can be disabled with SPARQ_UPDATE_CHECK=false
  • Expandable activity descriptions — the task detail view now shows the full activity description instead of truncating it
  • Email gateway fallback transport — an optional HTTP relay used for outbound email when no SMTP provider is configured
  • Production self-hosting guide — documentation for deploying sparQ in production

Fixed

  • iOS audio playback — voice notes are transcoded to AAC/MP4 on upload so they play on all iPhones, not only newer iOS versions
  • Invite acceptance — skip the password step when email is configured
  • Server admin (MSA) enablement — evaluate MSA availability at request time so it reflects current configuration
