BusOva Viewer

Added 

• Seven new amenities you can record and view on every bus: Next Stop Display, Bike Space, Open Top, Seat Belts, LED Display, Flip-Dot Display and Roller Display. 
• USB amenity is now labelled Charging, matching the website.

Added 

• You can now add photos to a bus straight from the app - they get the same watermark and orientation fix as the website.
• Export any bus list (or your favourites) to CSV. 

Changed 

• Registrations are shown as proper UK number plates. 
• Browsing buses is much faster: results now load a page at a time instead of pulling the whole database down.

Added 

• More admin tools in the app for admins: review staff applications and manage the team, action reported comments, and check server status with an audit log of admin actions. 
• The admin dashboard now shows only the sections you can manage in the app.

Added 

• Admins can now manage the whole site from within the app: users & roles, buses, pending edit requests, reference data (manufacturers, operators, depots and a model dedupe tool), developer API keys, contact messages, and content (FAQ, events, news sources). 

Fixed 

• Fixed a header overlap that affected several pages.

Added 

• Edit a bus directly from its detail page (admins, moderators and the bus owner) 
• Other members can suggest edits for an admin to approve 
• Every bus now shows a Change History of who changed what and when

Added 

• Point all API-key links to the Developer Hub

Changed 

• The Developer Hub link in Settings now opens api.busova.com in your browser 
• The busova.com link in the About section is now clickable 

Added 

• Added a copyright notice to the About section

Fixed 

• Adding a bus now shows the actual reason if it fails, instead of a generic message

Added

• The Dashboard's "What's New" panel now updates automatically with each release. It reads the version and notes from the update manifest instead of a hard-coded list, so it no longer goes stale.

Fixed

• Images display again throughout the app - bus photos, user avatars, and operator/manufacturer logos. They are now requested through the site's image proxy (direct image paths are blocked by hotlink protection). 
• Favourites thumbnails are shown again.

Changed

• Tables now fill the full window width on every list page (Buses, Favourites, Operators, Manufacturers, their detail pages, and Search), so column headings are no longer hidden and data is no longer cut off. Columns re-flow when the window is resized. 

Added

• An "internet connection is required" note on the login screen.

Fixed 

• Buses page no longer fails with "Unable to load buses." 
• Favourites page now loads (it relied on the same data call). 
• The window now maximises to the work area instead of covering the Windows taskbar. 

Changed 

• Data-loading errors now show the actual reason instead of a generic "please try again" message.

Added 

• Automated build and release pipeline (installer packaging and in-app update publishing). No user-facing changes.

Added 

• Redesigned Buses, Operators, and Manufacturers pages with improved layouts. 
• Operator and manufacturer logos. 
• Advanced filters with dark-themed dropdowns. 
• Profile section - view and edit your profile, with profile-picture upload and sidebar avatars. 
• Redesigned Search page with category filtering and grouped results. 
• Full-screen startup, custom title bar (minimise/maximise/close), and a close confirmation dialog. 
• API key integration with the BusOva Developer Hub. 
• Light and dark theme toggle in Settings. 
• Favourites page with photo thumbnails.
