# PSCOT v1.0.0

Release date: 2026-07-23

## Production milestone

PSCOT v1.0.0 promotes the v0.1.9 application to its first production release after two final presentation and licensing changes.

## Changes

- Added a **License** link to the public footer.
- Added a public MIT License page at `/license.php`.
- Added the packaged plain-text license file `LICENSE-v1.0.0.txt`.
- Clarified that the MIT License applies to PSCOT application software, not automatically to writing, covers, branding, logos, uploaded documents, or catalog content.
- Updated the Terms page to recognize the MIT software license without weakening ownership of non-software content.
- Replaced the Desk footer's mark-only treatment with the same compact image-plus-`PSCOT` treatment used in the public footer.
- Advanced the application and canonical asset version to v1.0.0.
- Added no database migration or schema change.

## Upgrade

Back up `~/data/pscot.com/`, then copy v1.0.0 over the existing v0.1.9 public site. Do **not** rerun the installer. Existing catalog data, uploads, covers, permissions, analytics, and settings remain in the private data directory.

## Validation performed

- PHP syntax checks passed for all 43 packaged PHP files.
- JavaScript syntax checks passed for all three packaged JavaScript files.
- JSON validation for `site-v1.0.0.webmanifest`.
- Static checks for the public License link, public license page, plain-text license, Terms carve-out, and matching public/Desk footer brand markup.
- Versioned asset-reference checks to ensure every v1.0.0 reference resolves.
- Checks for unintended remaining v0.1.9 canonical asset references.
- Release archive extraction and verification against every entry in `MANIFEST-v1.0.0.sha256`.
