New features
Complete commit catalog
Version history lists every retained commit reachable from the repository’s branches and tags, deduplicated by its full 40-character SHA. Search by SHA, title, milestone, release or schema migration, filter by demo state or milestones, and page through the history.
- Commit dates are shown alongside verified production release dates and link to the corresponding release notes when available.
- Each commit is explicitly marked Available Demo, Not Prepared or Unavailable with a short explanation. Listing a commit never implies it has a playable demo.
Five playable historical milestones
Five milestones are prepared as interactive demos running their original code and matching database migrations: the original Amethyst Archives launch (3c27ef5), User-Created Collections (7ec9aa4), the first Home Dashboard & Five Themes (03070fc), Readable URLs, 3D Showcase & the Arcade Hall (3882439), and the Tasks Workspace with the Archive | Tasks switcher (688565d).
- Each enabled demo runs on its own origin with its own database schema, scoped cookies and isolated local storage.
- External artwork and account emails are safely contained inside the demo environment, and demos never touch your real account, private files or coin balance.
- A compact demo bar in the corner shows the commit SHA, retention period, Reset Demo and a direct link back to current Amethyst.
Fresh-account workspaces and Reset Demo
Opening an enabled milestone gives you a fresh demo account starting with that version’s own defaults. Create collections, entries, folders, notes, checklists or tasks wherever that version supported them, and your changes stay across navigation and reloads for 24 hours.
- Reset Demo asks for confirmation first and clears only your demo workspace for that specific commit.
- Other visitors, other historical versions and your real Amethyst account are never affected.
