LawBridge v0.9.1 — Stability, Security & UX Upgrade

Release Summary

This release focuses on strengthening the core foundation of LawBridge.
While the first version was primarily about getting the system up and running, this version significantly improves authentication, security, and user experience, making the platform more stable and closer to production readiness.


Major Improvements & Changes

Authentication & Security

  • Implemented a proper authentication system using Access Tokens (Bearer) and Refresh Tokens (HttpOnly cookies).
  • Added Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) for enhanced account security.
  • Introduced Email Verification for new user registrations.
  • Added Forgot Password and Reset Password flows with secure token handling.
  • Integrated API rate limiting using Express Rate Limiter to prevent abuse and brute-force attacks.

UI & UX Enhancements

  • Improved overall UI responsiveness, especially for mobile and smaller screen devices.
  • Better handling of authentication-related states such as loading, errors, and session expiry.
  • Minor UI refinements for smoother and more intuitive user interactions.

Project Status

At this stage, most of the core functionality is complete.
LawBridge has moved beyond the “it works somehow” phase and now focuses on stability, security, performance, scalability, and user experience.


Planned for Future Releases

The following features and improvements are planned for upcoming versions:

  • Adding a search tool to the chatbot for better context-aware responses.
  • Redis integration for:
    • Global API rate limiting
    • Chatbot-specific rate limits
    • Performance optimization and caching
  • Further chatbot UI improvements.
  • Production deployment setup.
  • Dockerization for easier setup, consistency across environments, and scalability.
