Ignition Crowdfunding v0.4.0

This release introduces the full pledge pipeline — backers can pledge from campaign pages, review at checkout, and track pledges from a dedicated dashboard tab. Campaign creators and administrators manage pledges with a state machine, audit trail, and transition actions.

New Features

• Pledge system — Backers select suggested or custom amounts on active campaign pages. Pledges follow a state machine: Pledged → Paid → Settled, with cancellation at the Pledged stage. See Pledging.
• Checkout flow — POST-Redirect-GET checkout with review screen, confirmation, and offline payment instructions with configurable placeholders. See Checkout.
• Backer dashboard — New My Pledges tab on the Dashboard page lets backers view pledge history, check payment instructions, review status history, and cancel pending pledges. See Backer Dashboard.
• Currency system — 20 supported currencies with site-wide selection, formatted display, and minor-unit storage for precision. Configure in Settings.
• Campaign progress display — Progress bar showing amount raised, goal, percentage, backer count, and time remaining. Full and compact variants available on campaign pages.
• Creator pledge management — Campaign creators view pledges on their campaigns, confirm payments, and settle funds from the Campaign Detail view.
• Admin pledge management — Administrators manage all pledges across the site with the same confirm, cancel, and settle actions.
• Backer role — New igcf_backer role auto-assigned on registration through pledge context. Grants igcf_create_pledge capability. See User Roles.
• Auth context messages — Login/Register page displays context-aware messages when redirected from pledge flow, explaining why authentication is required.

Changed

• Settings page expanded — New sections for currency and payment configuration, suggested amounts, pledge limits, offline payment instructions, and a toggle for allowing creators to end their own campaigns. See Settings.

Developer

• REST API — New pledge endpoints under /igcf/v1/campaigns/{campaign_id}/pledges for listing, creating, and retrieving pledges. Settings endpoint returns new currency and payment fields. See REST API.
