Version 3.2.1 onwards was the key restart of a primarily conversion phrase of massively fixing critical bugs that were related to third-party libraries, which caused a major holdback in new content integration as any new updates will involve broken code that will eventually break the Webapp overall when pushed to production.
These major fixes involved a majority of crunched full-day fixes done starting from v3.2.1 to v3.3.2, dating from 2024-03-11 to 2024-03-15 (5 days).
Previous builds dating from v3.2.0 and prior, accounted back to at least 12-months back from Apr 2023 and beyond.
Prior builds mainly involved setting up the foundation of the Webapp on NextJS and attempting to accelerate the collection of content, as well as integration of Project Data into on streamlined interface.
