Release Date: September 15, 2025
Version: 1.2.0
Codename: "Modular Architecture Revolution"


๐ŸŽฏ Major Breakthrough: Complete Modular Refactor

๐Ÿ—๏ธ Revolutionary Architecture Change

HeadlessX v1.2.0 represents a complete transformation from a monolithic to a modular architecture:

Before (v1.1.0):

  • Single massive server.js file (3079 lines)
  • Mixed concerns and responsibilities
  • Difficult to maintain and extend

After (v1.2.0):

  • 20+ focused modules with clear responsibilities
  • Separation of concerns across logical layers
  • Enterprise-grade maintainability and scalability

๐Ÿ“ฆ New Modular Structure
