Release Notes

• Draw a small 3D trout on a canvas above the “To a fish, water is invisible” quote (assets/js/cta-fish.js): a flexible spine with trout cross-sections seen from slightly above, a swimming wave from head to tail, and fins, eye and gill line attached to the body
• The head steers through scripted waypoints (swim in, look around, turn back, turn again, peer down at the quote, dart off) and the body follows through the turns
• Give the box room above the quote for the fish’s lane; hide it for prefers-reduced-motion and pause it while the box is off-screen
• Add the v2026.09.26.7 release notes and document the script in the README

• Add a session-options panel (“In the office · Trail, BC” / “Remotely · WhatsApp or FaceTime”) under the home page intro and on the Contact page, as a partial and shortcode
• Add the same wording to the CTA box and the Psychotherapy and Coaching section introductions
• Contact page: lead with WhatsApp and FaceTime, keep phone and Google Meet as also available
• Block Therapy: blocks can be held remotely as well as in Trail
• Mention remote sessions in the site meta description
• Add the v2026.09.26.6 release notes and document the panel in the README

• Use new matching photos for the Psychotherapy (arms outstretched over a river valley) and Coaching (compass above the valley) sections: 1520x760 on the section pages, 760x380 card versions on the home page
• Keep the PNG originals in assets/images (not published) and update the alt text
• Record the photos, and Terry’s WhatsApp and Google Form confirmations, in the project notes
• Add the v2026.09.26.5 release notes

• Write the current version to data/site_version.json (git-ignored) from scripts/git-history.mjs: the release tag on HEAD, or the latest release plus “+dev” for unreleased builds
• Add a site-version shortcode and show it after the footer’s Release notes link
• Add the v2026.09.26.4 release notes

Versioning:

• Tag releases vYYYY.MM.DD[.N] (Pacific time); npm run deploy now runs scripts/release.mjs, which checks main is committed and pushed, tags, builds, deploys with the version as the Firebase label, then pushes the tag (and removes it if the release fails)
• Group the release notes change history by release, and head each hand-written release notes section with its version

Contact and privacy:

• Add a click-to-load Google Map of the office (google-map shortcode); nothing is requested from Google until the visitor presses Show map
• Add a Privacy page, linked from the footer
• Self-host Source Serif 4 and Source Sans 3 (SIL OFL) instead of loading them from Google Fonts, and cache fonts for a year

• Open the site in light mode by default; the theme toggle still offers dark mode and remembers the visitor’s choice
• Add a discreet Release notes link to the footer credit line
• Add today’s light mode, footer and release notes changes to the release notes

• Add /release-notes/ with hand-written release notes and a change history generated from git log on every build (scripts/git-history.mjs, {{< git-history >}}); hidden from the menu, search, sitemap and RSS, and marked noindex
• Run the history script from npm run dev and npm run build
• Credit Williston Technical Inc. in the footer
• Document the page and script in the README

• Change Terry’s location from Vancouver to Trail, BC, Canada in the home subtitle, site description, keywords, Block Therapy page and AB/IS-TDP article; leave historical and testimonial mentions
• Replace the Contact page’s Vancouver skyline with a CC BY 2.0 photo of Trail, BC, credited in a caption, and style cover captions
• Use the new portrait (terry-brennen-2026.png) for the home profile, About portrait and favicons; keep earlier versions as alternates
• Update the project notes with these changes and photo credits

• Replace the low-resolution profile photo with the enhanced portrait (assets/images/terry-brennen.png); keep the plain-background alternate (terry-brennen-plain.png), which is not published
• Build the home profile image at 2x (320px JPEG) so it stays sharp on high-DPI screens
• Regenerate the About page portrait and favicons from the new photo

Content:

• Remove RCMP references from the About page
• Remove Skype; list in-person and remote sessions (phone, Google Meet, WhatsApp, FaceTime) on the Contact page; use Google Meet on the follow-up page
• Remove the Google Forms contact form
• Redate the blog posts to March and June 2026

Contact and calls to action:

• Rebuild the contact methods as rows with actions, with phone and WhatsApp on one row
• Add a WhatsApp button beside every Call button

Links:

• Use relative URLs for cover images and list-page cards so they work on Firebase preview and web.app domains

Search:

• Show the “Search” label next to the menu icon
• Show a highlighted preview and section for each result, and a “No results” message
• Match anywhere in a page, search multi-word queries word by word, and rank whole-word matches above partial and fuzzy ones

• Replace the GitHub Pages workflow and CNAME with Firebase Hosting config for the terrybrennen-com project, including 301 redirects for the old Google Sites paths
• Add npm scripts for dev, build, deploy and preview-channel deploys
• Restyle with Source Serif 4 / Source Sans 3, a warm ivory and teal palette with matching dark mode, and refreshed hero, cards, buttons, testimonials, call-to-action and footer
• Use relative URLs for the profile image, menu, favicons and search index so the site works on any domain (web.app, preview channels)
• Enable site search with a menu icon
