What's New in VaultVin
Current version: v1.4.0
Version 1.4.0 — June 2026
🛒 Purchases
- New: log spare parts and workshop purchases — you can now record any vehicle-related purchase (parts, accessories, bodywork) with date, price, receipt image, and notes; find it under the new Purchase page in the navigation
🗂️ Browse & Find Records
- Filter records by date range — narrow down fuel, maintenance, and purchase lists to a specific time period using the new date range filter
- Sort any column — click a column header to sort your records by date, odometer, price, or any other field
- Pagination — long lists are now split into pages for faster loading and easier browsing
🧭 Navigation
- Simpler navigation — the Dashboard has been removed; add a fuel fill, maintenance visit, or purchase directly from the navigation bar
- Garage renamed to Vehicles — the Garage page is now called Vehicles for clarity
Version 1.3.4 — May 2026
⛽ Fuel & 🔧 Maintenance
- Record any odometer reading, not just the latest — you can now log a fuel fill or maintenance visit with any positive odometer value, even if it is lower than your vehicle's current mileage; useful for backdating entries or correcting past records
- Delete any record, regardless of mileage order — all fuel and maintenance records now have an active delete button; you are no longer blocked from removing an older entry
Version 1.3.3 — May 2026
🎨 Design
- Unified table layout across all pages — fuel, garage, and maintenance lists have been redesigned with a consistent table: icon-based column headers and cleaner row actions
- Vehicle card shows make logo and plate together — easier to identify your vehicle at a glance in the list
🚗 Vehicle
- License plate is now required — the form validates the field and shows a "Required" hint before you can save
- New confirmation step when adding a vehicle — tick "This is my vehicle" before saving to prevent accidental adds
🔒 Security
- Improved protection against automated abuse — additional safeguards have been added to the sign-up and sign-in flows to reduce the risk of automated attacks
Version 1.3.2 — May 2026
⛽ Fuel & 🔧 Maintenance

Version 1.3.1 — May 2026
⛽ Fuel & 🔧 Maintenance
- Fix: odometer input now works when adding a first record for a new vehicle — the mileage field is correctly enabled as soon as you select a vehicle, even if no records have been logged for it yet

Version 1.2.5 — May 2026
🚗 Vehicle
- Fix: VIN validation errors now appear directly below each field — the VIN field shows if the code is too short or unrecognised, and the confirmation field shows if the values don't match
Version 1.2.4 — May 2026
⛽ Fuel & 🔧 Maintenance
- Fix: quantity, unit-price, and odometer fields now start empty instead of showing 0 when you open a form

⛽ Fuel & 🔧 Maintenance
- Fix: typing 29,39 in quantity or price fields now correctly saves as 29.39 — comma decimal separator on European iOS keyboards is fully supported

Version 1.2.1 — May 2026
⛽ Fuel & 🔧 Maintenance
- Fix: entering a quantity like 1,02 now correctly saves as 1.02 — comma decimal separator is now accepted on all devices
Version 1.2.0 — May 2026
🔐 Sign-in & Sign-up

- Sign-up now shows inline error messages as you type — for username format, password rules, and confirmation mismatch
