* [Feature] Added "Forgot Password" and secure password reset workflows for regular App users.

* [Mobile App Update] Fixed an issue where Embed Videos were not playing correctly in the Android App by improving the native WebView player fallback.
* [UI/UX] Renamed "Mail Configuration" to "Security" in the Admin Panel and updated its URL slug/link references for better clarity and alignment with Firebase Service Account inputs.
* [Feature] Added dynamic default login credentials to the Admin Panel (`/admin/login`) that automatically populate only when `NEXT_PUBLIC_DEMO_MODE` is enabled.
* [Fix] Fixed an issue where the Admin Panel sidebar was incorrectly rendering on authentication pages (Forgot Password, Reset Password) by updating the `AdminLayoutShell` routing exclusions.
* [Fix] Resolved an `ESOCKET` TLS connection error preventing system emails from being sent (e.g. Password Resets) on shared hosts like cPanel by configuring the SMTP Mailer to allow self-signed certificates.
* [Fix] Fixed an issue where the "Login with Phone" button was missing from the Android App by adding `phoneLoginEnabled` to the mobile API settings synchronization endpoint.
* [Fix] Resolved the "Invalid Firebase Service Account JSON" error encountered when sending OTPs or Password Reset links by implementing a defensive regex parser that automatically fixes unescaped newlines (`\n`) introduced during copy-pasting into the Admin Panel.

Version 1.1.3 (Current Update) - 27-07-2026
----------------------------------------

* [Fix] Fixed duplicate Range HTTP headers in the backend video proxy (api/video/route.ts) when streaming remote cloud videos.
* [Fix] Increased the local video streaming chunk size cap from 10MB to 500MB per request, supporting uninterrupted streaming and seeking for long High-Definition video reels.

* [Fix] Fixed an issue in the Web Application where video duration would show as 0:00 (e.g. 0:03 / 0:00) when playing or switching between episodes by implementing dynamic duration synchronization during playback progress and ready lifecycle events.
* [Fix] Resolved a runtime crash (ReferenceError: setIsRetrying is not defined) in the Web Application video player when clearing retry indicators during playback initialization.

* [UI/UX] Refined checkout typography and visual layout by removing redundant description text, eliminating oversized logo containers, and formatting all payment gateway names in clean Title Case (`Stripe`, `PayPal`, `Razorpay`, `Flutterwave`).
* [UI/UX] Updated the primary checkout action button in the Web Application from all-caps `SECURE PAY & REDIRECT` to a clean, user-friendly `Continue Payment`.
* [Fix] Added `flutterwaveEnabled`, `currency`, and `currencySymbol` to the backend mobile API endpoint (`/api/mobile/v1/settings`), enabling proper synchronization between the Admin Panel and the Android App.
* [Fix] Fixed an issue in the Android App where Flutterwave was not displayed in the payment checkout list by updating the repository setting parser to read `flutterwaveEnabled`.
* [Fix] Fixed an issue in the Android App where coin pack prices and VIP subscriptions were hardcoded to US Dollars (`$`) by dynamically linking all price tags and checkout texts to the admin-defined store currency symbol (`currencySymbol`).

V1.1.2 - 07-07-2026

* [Fix] Fixed redirection loop (`ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS`) on the `/install` page in production builds by forcing dynamic rendering at runtime.

* [UI/UX] Fixed the UI layout for the Featured and Premium toggle switches in the Series Add/Edit form, resolving layout cramping and truncated labels on smaller screens.
* [Feature] Added an optional "Featured Image" upload field (16:9 aspect ratio, scaled to 1920px) for Drama Series, providing a dedicated banner for sliders that automatically falls back to the standard Poster image if left empty.
* [Mobile App Update] Updated the Kotlin Android App to dynamically load the Google Sign-in Web Client ID from `google-services.json` rather than using a hardcoded string, making authentication setup plug-and-play for buyers.
* [UI/UX] Redesigned the main Website Hero Slider to be an edge-to-edge cinematic banner with an optimized viewport height (vh), allowing content below it to peek into view. Moved pagination dots inside the slider to save vertical space.
* [UI/UX] Updated the Android App Featured Slider to support the new cinematic 16:9 aspect ratio, mirroring the premium look and feel of the website's hero section.
* [Fix] Added a bypass for Dailymotion video URLs to render as native HTML5 iframes automatically, resolving playback issues and the "Video Unavailable" error caused by ReactPlayer SDK timeouts.
* [Mobile App Update] Fixed the Android App failing to load "Embed Code" video sources by implementing an embedded WebView fallback specifically for iframe HTML strings.
* [Fix] Fixed the Admin Panel "Edit Episode" modal incorrectly reverting the Source Type from "Embed Code" to "Direct Link" for embed codes wrapped in tags.

* [Fix] Fixed an issue where the Website only displayed the first Featured Drama in the slider if the interface language was changed to Arabic.
* [UI/UX] Added the Drama Title and a localized "Watch Now" overlay button to the Android App Featured Slider, mirroring the premium look and feel of the website.
