VoucherBot v1.0.1
v1.0.1 — Documentation & Email Fix
Patch release with an improved deployment guide (including a new Docker image deployment path) and a fix to the email verification flow.
🚀 What's New
Deployment Guide Overhaul
- Alternate connection methods — The "Connect via Public Git Repository" option was moved out of Step 6 into a dedicated section at the end of the guide. A brand-new "Connect via Existing Docker Image" path with screenshots (render_19–23) lets users deploy directly from the pre-built GHCR image without connecting any repository.
- Step 4 now links to these alternatives so users discovering them mid-setup can find them easily.
- Better visual separation between the main guide, alternate methods, and Blueprint deployment sections.
Email Verification
- The app now sends a fresh verification email on every startup, not just the first launch. This ensures the confirmation/welcome email always arrives after a new deployment or restart.
README Rewrite
- Simplified language and reorganized into a clear step-by-step flow (fork → download
.env→ complete setup guides → deploy). - Replaced technical jargon with plain English to make the project accessible to non-developers.
🐛 Bug Fixes
- Email verification email not sent on restart —
sender.pynow resends the initial verification mail every time the app starts, fixing deployments where the welcome email was missing after a re-deploy.
