  1. v1.2.0#

    Unified auth, settings in popup, smarter visa bar

    v1.2 collapses the entire account experience into the popup. A single Orizn account now unlocks every subdomain — sign in once in the extension and you are signed in on orizn.app, visa.orizn.app and map.orizn.app. The old standalone options page is replaced by an in-popup Settings SPA, and the Hobby upgrade flow no longer bounces you to an external pricing tab.

    • FeatureSingle Orizn account — one session token shared across the extension and every *.orizn.app subdomain.
    • FeatureSettings now live inside the popup behind a gear icon (passport, language, on-page toggles, notifications, reset bar position).
    • FeatureUnlock Unlimited stays in the popup — sign up, sign in and Stripe Checkout all run through chrome.identity.launchWebAuthFlow.
    • FeatureAPI key management moved to Settings → Manage API Keys, with the new masked format or_sk_••••<last4>.
    • ImprovementSmarter visa bar: badge colors and meanings are unchanged but recompute faster on supported flight and hotel sites.
    • ImprovementLegacy options.html is retained as a graceful fallback so existing bookmarks still resolve.
    • ImprovementAuth, payment and state-sync messages are broadcast over chrome.runtime so any open popup view reacts without polling.
    • ImprovementPassport selection, monthly usage counter, streaks, recent destinations and weekly digest survive the upgrade — no data migration needed.
    • FixStripe Checkout back-button no longer leaves the popup in a stuck state — it now resolves to a clean 'No worries, you stayed on free tier' toast.
    • FixEdge < 122 popup viewport reporting 0 height for ~80 ms after open no longer shows a blank Auth view.
  2. v1.1.0#

    30 data points per visa

    v1.1 quadruples the depth of every visa lookup. The floating bar and detail view now surface 32 structured data points — entry requirements, processing times, fees, e-visa availability, validity windows and more — pulled from the rebuilt visa-scraper pipeline. Same speed, four times the answer.

    • Feature32 structured data points per visa — entry type, processing time, fee bands, e-visa eligibility, validity, max stay, double-entry rules and 25 more.
    • FeatureReference-data injector seeds country-pair edge cases (transit-only, visa-on-arrival airports, dependent-territory quirks).
    • ImprovementVisa detail card redesigned with grouped sections so the new fields stay scannable on the popup's compact width.
    • ImprovementSDK bumped to v1.1 across the ecosystem — embed widgets and the iOS app share the same 32-point payload.
    • ImprovementFaster cold-start on the floating bar — first paint trimmed by ~120 ms on Skyscanner and Kayak.
    • FixResolved a stale-cache bug that occasionally showed the previous destination's visa status after a quick back-navigation.
  3. v1.0.0#

    Orizn Extension launches

    Hello, world

    Orizn for Chrome ships. Free for everyone, 10 visa checks per month per device, no account required. Built for the 800 million flight searches a year that end at 'wait, do I need a visa?'

    The first public release. Orizn becomes the first browser-native visa checker built specifically for flight booking flows — Google Flights, Skyscanner, Kayak, Kiwi, Booking, Expedia and 25+ others. A floating visa bar appears the moment you start searching, with colour-coded answers (green = visa-free, red = visa required, blue = e-visa, orange = visa-on-arrival).

    • FeatureFloating visa bar on 30+ flight booking and meta-search sites.
    • FeatureSix-colour badge system: visa-free, visa-required, e-visa, visa-on-arrival, restricted, no-data.
    • FeaturePassport selection with 195 nationalities, persisted to chrome.storage.sync.
    • FeatureFree tier: 10 visa checks per month per device, no signup required.
    • FeatureEngagement loop — streaks, recent destinations, daily tip and weekly digest.
    • FeatureMulti-language popup with 15 BCP-47 locales out of the box.
