 ---
 
-## [2.0.1] - 2026-04-10
-
-Patch release — hotfix for Google Sign-In broken in 2.0.0.
-
-### Fixed
-- **Sign in with Google** (`lib/screens/login_screen.dart`): Resolved authentication failure introduced in 2.0.0. Google OAuth flow now completes correctly and exchanges tokens with Django `POST /accounts/google-auth/` as expected.
-
----
-
-## [2.0.0] - 2026-04-10
-
-Public release milestone. Full backend integration, real image upload pipeline, complete personal profile system, and production Android build infrastructure.
-
-### Added
-- **Real image upload pipeline** (`lib/core/api/api_client.dart`): `uploadFile()` method uses `http.MultipartRequest` with explicit MIME type detection from file extension. Supports JPEG, PNG, WebP, MP4, MOV. Files upload to Node.js `/api/v1/upload/file` → OneDrive via Microsoft Graph API, returning a shareable anonymous link.
-- **Contribute image upload to OneDrive** (`lib/features/gamification/services/gamification_service.dart`): `submitContribution()` now uploads all selected images before submitting the event form. Uploaded file metadata (including OneDrive share URL) is passed as `media` array in the contribution payload — replacing the broken device-path-as-string approach.
-- **Upload endpoint constant** (`lib/core/api/api_endpoints.dart`): `ApiEndpoints.uploadFile` pointing to `$_nodeBase/v1/upload/file`.
-- **Full personal info form in Edit Profile sheet** (`lib/screens/profile_screen.dart`):
-  - First Name, Last Name fields
-  - Email (read-only, locked from direct edit)
-  - Phone number field
-  - District picker with 183-day change cooldown — shows next-change date when locked
-  - Place, Pincode, State, Country fields
-  - All fields loaded from SharedPreferences cache and API on open; saved via `PATCH /api/user/update-profile/`
-
-### Changed
-- **App version** displayed in Settings → About updated to `2.0(b)` (`lib/screens/settings_screen.dart`).
-- **All "(demo)" labels replaced with "(coming soon)"** across the app:
-  - `settings_screen.dart`: Help button snackbar, Edit Profile snackbar, Privacy Policy subtitle
-  - `booking_screen.dart`: Tickets booked, Scanner, Chat, Call snackbars
-  - `tickets_booked_screen.dart`: Scanner, Chat/WhatsApp, Call snackbars
-  - `calendar_screen.dart`: Notifications snackbar
-- **`pubspec.yaml` version bumped** to `2.0.0+20` (version name `2.0.0`, build code `20`).
-
-### Fixed
-- **Android build version override** (`android/app/build.gradle.kts`): Removed hardcoded `versionCode = 17` and `versionName = "1.6.1(p)"` — both now read from `flutter.versionCode` / `flutter.versionName` (sourced from `pubspec.yaml`). This was causing Play Store rejections ("version code 17 already used") on every release build.
-- **`http_parser` dependency added** (`pubspec.yaml`): Required for explicit `MediaType` MIME typing in `MultipartRequest`. Without it, file uploads defaulted to `application/octet-stream` and were rejected by the Node.js multer middleware.
-
-### Infrastructure
-- **Production AAB built and signed** with `upload-keystore-new.jks` — build 20, version name `2.0` — submitted to Google Play Console.
-- **`build.gradle.kts` signing config** reads `KEYSTORE_PASSWORD`, `KEY_ALIAS`, `KEY_PASSWORD` from `gradle.properties` or environment variables (no secrets in source).
