## Version 1.0.0 (June 06, 2026) — Initial Release

The first public release of WaDesk, a self-hosted, multi-tenant WhatsApp business platform built with Laravel 12, Tailwind CSS, Alpine.js, and a bundled Node.js bridge. WaDesk ships as a complete SaaS product — team inbox, bulk campaigns, automation, an AI suite, and a full admin panel with plans and billing.
