Changelog

What changed in NestorCut, newest first.

UI polish & Changelog page

Fixes

  • Restored the base CSS reset lost when Tailwind was removed during the Nuxt 4 migration (nav bullets, underlined links, unstyled pages).
  • Licences page restyled to the design system.

New feature

  • The blog becomes this Changelog page — /blog redirects here automatically.
  • Header now shows the full APLASMA lockup and favicons were regenerated from it.

Nuxt 4 & Node 24

Tech upgrade

  • Migrated Nuxt 3.17.7 → 4.5.1 (app/ structure, shared constants, plan caching, route announcer).
  • Removed Tailwind (it was installed but unused).
  • Docker image now runs Node 24 LTS, required by Nuxt 4 / Vite 8.

Plans page & monthly free quota

New features

  • New /plans page with plan cards and a full comparison table.
  • The Pro card activates itself as soon as the product exists in Stripe — no deploy needed.

Free tier

  • The free quota is now 10 nestings every month (reset automatically each month) instead of 10 one-shot.

APlasma visual identity

Brand

  • Full rebrand to the APlasma brand guide: beige and anthracite palette with rust accents, light and dark themes.
  • Helios Stencil for headings, Montserrat for body text — both self-hosted.
  • Real APlasma logo in the header and footer, brand watermark on the landing, new favicons.

Tiered compute & Pro plan

New features

  • Compute budget per plan: free 8k samples / 1 alternative, Unlimited 20k / 3, Pro 50k / 3 — enforced server-side.
  • Priority queue: Pro jobs are processed first.

Nesting engine upgrades

New features

  • The sheet boundary is now drawn in the result (blue frame in the DXF and the thumbnails).
  • Better layouts: solver budget raised from 5k to 20k samples.
  • 3 alternative layouts per nesting job — compare densities and pick your favorite.
  • Heterogeneous sheets: declare several sheet types with different sizes and stocks.

APlasma Nesting

Rebrand

  • The project is renamed APlasma Nesting (Inspired by Nest2D).

Zero-knowledge vault

New feature

  • Files are encrypted with AES-256-GCM using a key file only you hold — we store no copy of it.
  • Session unlock with 2h sliding TTL, key rotation, disable with full decryption or crypto-shredding.
  • Requires the Pro plan.

Professional landing & auth

New features

  • Complete landing page redesign: hero, features, pricing (19 € Unlimited / 39 € Pro), FAQ.
  • Password reset by email for local accounts.

Fixes

  • Removed dead pages and inconsistent marketing copy.

Payments & quotas

New features

  • Unified charge model: subscription, free quota and credits with automatic refund when a nesting fails.
  • Admins get unlimited nesting; free quota raised to 10.

Fixes

  • Checkout no longer forces USD — it falls back to the price’s own currency (EUR).

Step 0 — The fork

APlasma Nesting begins

  • Forked from VovaStelmashchuk/nest2d — huge thanks to the original author for the open-source base.
  • Personalized for homelab self-hosting: Docker Compose stack, CI-built images, Google PKCE auth fix.
  • Questions or issues: support chat or [email protected].
