# 0.39.2 — 2026-07-26 — "Own Domain"

## Changed

- **Kandown now lives at its own domain, [kandown.dev](https://kandown.dev).** The website has moved off the temporary `kandown.vercel.app` deployment URL onto a permanent domain that the project owns. Nothing about the hosting changed — the site is the same static build on the same infrastructure — but the address is now independent of the host, so future links never break if the deployment moves.
- **`www.kandown.dev` and the old `kandown.vercel.app` address permanently redirect to the canonical domain.** Every historical link — in old release notes, npm listings, forum posts, or anyone's bookmarks — keeps working and lands on the same page it always did. The redirects are declared in `website/vercel.json`, so they are versioned with the site rather than configured invisibly in a dashboard. Consolidating on a single hostname also stops search engines from indexing the site twice under two names.
- **The npm package now points at the website instead of the GitHub README.** The `homepage` field in `package.json` reads `https://kandown.dev`, so the "homepage" link on the npm listing takes visitors to the documentation site rather than a raw Markdown file.
- **The README links to the website, the documentation and the changelog.** The project README previously had no path to the site at all — a visitor arriving from GitHub had no way to discover the docs. A short link row now sits under the badges.

## Added

- **The website README documents the domain setup.** A new *Deployment → Domain* section records where the domain is registered, the exact DNS records that point it at Vercel, and the reason both records must stay unproxied at Cloudflare — the orange-cloud proxy terminates TLS itself and blocks certificate issuance and renewal. It also notes that `site.url` in `website/src/lib/site.ts` is the single constant every canonical tag, OG URL and `llms.txt` link derives from, so a future domain change is a one-line edit.
