v2.0.0 — The Vite & Modular Evolution

[2.0.0] — 2026-05-14

Added

• Build System: Full Vite integration for lightning-fast development (HMR) and automated production bundling.
• JavaScript Architecture: Modular architecture based on ES Modules (organized into base/, components/, and vendor/ directories).
• Dependency Management: Implementation of package.json for professional package management via NPM.
• Master Entry Point: script.js now acts as the project orchestrator, importing both JavaScript modules and the Sass architecture.
• Project Tooling: Added essential CLI commands: npm run dev, npm run build, and npm run preview.

Changed

• Sass Workflow: Migrated from Live Sass Compiler extension to Vite's native compiler (in-memory processing).
• Favicon Strategy: Moved favicon.ico to the project root for improved compatibility with crawlers and legacy browsers.
• Asset Resolution: Updated index.html to use absolute paths, ensuring reliable asset loading across different environments.
• Project Documentation: Refactored all README files to reflect the new automated workflow.

Removed

• Legacy Configuration: Deleted .vscode/settings.json (removed dependency on third-party VS Code extensions).
• Static CSS: Removed the src/css/ directory (styles are now processed dynamically in development).
• Manual Minification: Removed the dist/script.min.js placeholder (now handled automatically by the build pipeline).
