Maintenance release. No admin actions required to upgrade. No user-visible changes. This version contains internal preparation work for the next AppExchange Security Review submission.

Novigem 1.1.0

Security hardening release. No admin actions required to upgrade.

Security

• Points, badges, and challenge progress can no longer be written directly to Salesforce, Novigem now enforces this at the database level
• Only admins can modify challenge completion dates, preventing users from backdating their own progress
• Configuration change log entries cannot be edited or deleted after the fact
• Manual badge awards are rate-limited per hour to prevent abuse

Bug fixes

• Leaderboard rank no longer exceeds the total number of participants at the boundary
• Points sparkline on the My Points component now shows data in the user’s local timezone, not UTC
• Leaderboard shows initials when a user’s profile photo fails to load
• Rules with large condition groups no longer fail in high-volume transactions

Novigem 1.0.1

Maintenance release. No admin actions required to upgrade.

Bug fixes

• ConditionEvaluator: Internal error messages are no longer exposed in exception output. Error handling is now properly contained.
• Lightning components: Replaced selectors that violated Shadow DOM encapsulation. Components are now fully compliant with Salesforce’s LWC security model and less likely to break on platform updates.

Improvements

• Chatter notifications: Added error observability to the notification queueable. Uncaught exceptions during badge award notifications are now logged rather than silently lost.
