UpdateServer/CHANGELOG.md

[1.2.1] - 2026-03-13

Fixed

• Admin GUI now uses direct relative paths for all API fetch calls, ensuring compatibility with reverse proxy setups (Nginx, Caddy, etc.)
• No port is appended in JavaScript fetch requests, so /api/versions loads correctly from the admin domain.

Changed

• Updated admin HTML in app.py to remove API_URL variable and use direct relative paths for all API calls.
