v1.2.0 — Multi-Language & Rebrand

Multi-Language Support

• 8-language UI — complete translation for English, Spanish, German, French, Arabic, Russian, Chinese (Simplified), and Hindi across all panels (Super Admin, Business, and public booking pages). New
• Language switcher — one-click locale selector in the top-right header; selection persists in the user's session. New
• RTL support — Arabic is rendered right-to-left automatically. New
• Extensible — new locales can be added by dropping translation files into lang/{locale}/ and registering the code in config/app.php. New

Rebrand

• SlotLine → Slotara — platform renamed to Slotara. Improved

v1.1.0 — Client Portal & UX

Client Portal

• My Bookings page (/my-bookings) — cross-business dashboard showing all upcoming and past appointments for the logged-in client, grouped by business brand. New
• In-app cancellation modal — clients cancel from My Bookings without leaving the page; a modal captures an optional reason. New
• Cancellation reason stored — reason is saved on the booking and shown in Business Panel → Bookings → View, and in italic on cancelled cards in My Bookings. New
• Allow/disallow client cancellations — per-business toggle in Booking Behaviour settings. New
• Cancellation notification — staff receive an in-app notification when a client cancels, including the reason. New
• Booking form pre-fill — when a logged-in client visits any booking page, their name, email, and phone are auto-filled from their account; email is locked to prevent mismatch. Improved

Navigation

• User dropdown in nav — logged-in users on public pages see a role-aware dropdown (avatar + name) with a link to their dashboard or My Bookings and a Sign Out button. New
• Multi-service total on Confirm step — total price now correctly sums all selected services instead of showing only the first service's price. Fixed
