<Update label="v5.0.16" description="4th April 2026">
## Features & Improvements
- Updated shared resume item layouts (Experience, Education, Awards, Certifications, Publications, References, Volunteer) for better alignment and spacing consistency.
- Generated printer pages now set a meaningful document title from the resume owner's name (`<Name> - Resume`) for cleaner PDF metadata and tab titles. [#2863](https://github.com/amruthpillai/reactive-resume/pull/2863)

## Fixes
- Fixed [#2733](https://github.com/amruthpillai/reactive-resume/issues/2733), where date ranges could appear on a separate line unexpectedly in resume items. [#2862](https://github.com/amruthpillai/reactive-resume/pull/2862)
- Adjusted Experience section form field ordering/labels so `Location`, `Position`, and `Period` are mapped and displayed correctly.

## Maintenance & Localization
- Synced translation catalogs across all supported locales.
- Updated dependencies and lockfile, including AI SDK, TipTap, TanStack Query, and Vite+ package aliases.
</Update>

<Update label="v5.0.15" description="1st April 2026">
## Features & Improvements
- Added **LinkedIn sign-in** support for self-hosted instances, including sign-in on the auth page and account linking in settings.
- Improved the sign-in experience by showing loading placeholders while social login providers are being fetched.
- Resume builder panel sizes are now persisted more reliably, making the layout feel more consistent between sessions.
- Added clearer labels for resume sorting and filtering controls on the dashboard.

## Fixes
- Improved autosave reliability in the resume builder:
  - Unsaved edits are flushed before page unload.
  - You now get a clear persistent warning if changes fail to save (for example, due to network issues).
- Strengthened authentication defaults by increasing the minimum password length requirement to 8 characters.
- Improved reliability around resume deletion and server-side error handling for create/update operations.
- Fixed a rare language mix-up during printing/export when multiple print jobs run at the same time, so each PDF/screenshot now reliably uses the correct locale.
- Improved print stability under heavy usage by reusing in-progress PDF and screenshot generation requests for the same resume instead of starting duplicate jobs.
- Hardened printer token signing and token/session/API-key verification paths for better security.
- Improved resilience in AI tailoring output parsing and JSON Resume import normalization.
- Printer service now provides descriptive error messages ("Failed to generate PDF" / "Failed to capture screenshot") instead of generic internal server errors.
- Job descriptions in the job detail sheet now render HTML formatting (headings, lists, bold text) instead of showing raw tags.
- Fixed the "Tailor Resume" button being incorrectly disabled when AI is not configured — the dialog already supports plain resume duplication as a fallback.
- Fixed the tailor resume flow to open the resume builder in a new tab while keeping the job listing open for reference, instead of navigating away and auto-opening the application page.
- Apply option links in the job detail sheet are now validated before rendering, preventing malformed or potentially unsafe URLs.
- Improved job card loading skeletons to match the actual card layout (logo, title, badges) for a smoother loading experience.
- Centered the "Configure Job Search" empty state on the page.
- Extracted the `JobCard` component into its own file for better code organization.

## Docs & Localization
- Updated self-hosting and environment variable documentation to include LinkedIn OAuth configuration.
