EasyInvoicePDF v1.0.4 - Faster, flicker-free PDF preview, Redesigned mobile tabs, Next 15, UX improvements

[VladSez]

✨ Highlights

• Faster, flicker-free preview - the invoice PDF is generated once and shared by the desktop preview, the mobile viewer and the download button, instead of being rendered separately by each of them
• Redesigned mobile tabs - a pill-shaped track with a single indicator that slides between the invoice form and the preview
• Dates in the form now match the PDF - helper texts and the out-of-date banner render dates in the invoice's own language and date format, so what you see in the form is what the PDF will say
• Fixed PDFs missing the first characters of labels - Cobrar de no longer renders as obrar de in rare cases

No PDF flickering and unnecessary re-renders

Better mobile tabs

Changed

• The out-of-date dates banner now also detects a stale month in the invoice number, not just the dates
• Upgraded to Next.js 15, React 19 and Sentry 10
• Switched linting and formatting to oxlint and oxfmt, and expanded unit and end-to-end test coverage across the invoice form, PDF templates and storage handling

Fixed

• PDFs intermittently dropped the first one or two characters of labels (for example Fatura → atura, Data de emissão → ata de emissão) after switching the template and the language in quick succession. It affected the preview and the downloaded file alike, and hit Portuguese and Spanish hardest
• Text typed just before switching mobile tabs was silently lost; both panels now stay mounted once opened
• The app crashed in iOS in-app webviews, which expose localStorage as null, and in Safari with "Block all cookies" enabled. All storage access is now guarded, and invoices still work in-session when storage is unavailable
• The preview rendered the PDF twice when switching between the default and Stripe templates
