Important Upcoming 1.4.8 Changes

[hargata]

Note that this version is slated to be released November 2025. The purpose of this thread is to set expectations and will be continuously updated.

EDIT: Due to changes in certain circumstances we have decided to release this early(07/02).

UI Changes

Navbar - Now takes up the full width of the screen.

Tabs are now the same row as the logo to efficiently utilize the white space.

Navbar will auto collapse items that are overflowing for devices with smaller screens but isn't small enough to trigger the mobile view(iPads, tablets, etc)

Logo - New smaller logo(48px x 48px) used in non-mobile displays.

Injectable via the environment variable LUBELOGGER_LOGO_SMALL_URL or configured using the Server Configurator(see below)

Old larger logo(240px x 48px) is still used for mobile displays and when printing reports

Vehicle View

1. Displays vehicle thumbnail in place of the LubeLogger small logo, toggleable setting by @iamdabe
2. Global search now a button incorporated in the navbar, allowing users to search without being on the Dashboard tab.
3. Vehicle Identifier(Year, Make, Model, etc) has been shrunk down and moved to the right, clicking this will allow users to edit the vehicle.

Mobile View

Feature Enhancements

Dashboard

• Added overview displaying last reported odometer, distance traveled, total cost, and average fuel economy([FEATURE REQUEST] Add current mileage to Dahsboard & Reminder tabs #908)

• MPG Chart no longer starts from zero and will instead have automatically calculated padding so it appears less-flat([FEATURE REQUEST] Fuel Economy graph manual/auto range #941)

Global Search now allows for case-insensitive search

Document Uploader

• Allows users to attach links as attachments

• Now displays file formats(only for the following file formats: pdf, zip, 7z, rar, png, jpg, jpeg, xls, xlsx, xlsm, ods, csv, docx, odt, rtf)

Notes - Extra Fields

Reminders - Due Days and Due Distance

New columns that displays how many days and/or distance left before the reminder becomes due.

Server Settings Configurator

This is an alternative to using environment variables or the LubeLogger Configurator, the server settings configurator allows users to configure multiple server-wide settings such as Postgres, SMTP, and OIDC entirely within LubeLogger itself, this does not serve as a full replacement as it does not allow Docker/Linux users to configure locale nor allow users to configure HTTPS. Additionally, a few server-wide settings have also been moved into this wizard such as Custom Reminder Urgency Thresholds, Default Email for Reminder, and Allow Root User to Login via OIDC. If you utilize any of the settings, you should run through the server settings configurator wizard at least once after upgrading to 1.4.8

Note, settings configured via the server settings configurator will override any settings injected via environment variables or appsettings.json
Which is why we added a "Skip" checkbox for certain settings that involves credentials such as Postgres Connection, SMTP, and OIDC in case you rely on those credentials being injected on runtime via environment variables.

Users can set up and test SMTP config within the server settings configurator, note the "Skip" checkbox on the top right.

Custom Reminder Urgency Thresholds, Disable Registration/Open Registration, and Root User OIDC and Email have been moved to the server settings configurator and can be found under the "Misc" section

API

GET Methods for Plan/Odometer/Service/Repair/Upgrade/Fuel/Tax now takes additional parameters that will allow you to filter down the records.

Id: Id of the record
StartDate: Find records after this date (not inclusive)
EndDate: Find records before this date (not inclusive)
Tags: Find records that contains these tags(separated by white space, not applicable to Plans)

Reminder API GET Endpoint now returns an additional userMetric field that corresponds to the metric selected by the user instead of the metric which is causing the reminder to be due, fixes #964

Bug Fixes

Fix tag selection getting cleared after updating a record, fixes #945

Are there any breaking changes in the API?

I had an API call to http://lubelogger:8080/api/vehicle/odometerrecords set up in a n8n workflow which stopped working after the update to 1.4.8.

[hargata]

Huh, there shouldn't be, but let me look into this, might've been a bug.

[hargata]

You're right, there is a bug, fixed in 1.4.9

[auer1329]

Thanks for the quick fix. In 1.4.9 it's working as expected again.
