Syrian Liberation Day Event Platform v1.0.1
Release Date: December 18, 2024
Release Tag: v1.0.1
Release Type: Patch Release
🎉 Overview
We are pleased to announce version 1.0.1 of the Syrian Liberation Day Event Platform - a patch release that resolves a critical social media sharing issue. This update ensures that when users share the website URL on WhatsApp, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and other social media platforms, the event preview image displays correctly and reliably.
This patch maintains complete backward compatibility with version 1.0.0 while significantly improving the social media sharing experience for all users.
🐛 Bug Fixes
Social Media Preview Image Display Issue - RESOLVED ✅
Problem: When users shared the website URL on social media platforms, the preview image failed to display, resulting in a poor sharing experience and reduced engagement.
Root Cause: The social sharing image file (social-share.png) was 2.8 MB in size, which exceeded the file size limits imposed by major social media platforms:
- WhatsApp's crawlers timed out due to the large file size
- Facebook experienced poor performance and often failed to load the preview
- Other platforms showed inconsistent behavior
Solution: Optimized the social sharing image to meet platform requirements while maintaining visual quality:
- Reduced file size from 2,839.1 KB (2.8 MB) to 133 KB (95.3% reduction)
- Standardized dimensions to 1200 × 630 pixels (Open Graph standard)
- Converted to Progressive JPEG format with 85% quality
- Retained
.pngextension for compatibility with existing meta tags
Impact: All major social media platforms now display the event preview image correctly when the website is shared.
