# V07 Version Notes: From V03 and V05 to Today

Xizhou Temple has grown from an illustrated temple guide into a place to explore, read, practice, and exchange ideas. V03 established the guide, V05 expanded hall interactions and mobile use, and V07 brings in more topic tools and services.

The sections below review the main changes by theme. “Upcoming Improvements” above describes future work, including a full release of the divination system and new Three.js presentations.

## Temple Guide and Hall Spaces

**V03:** Established the temple map, illustrated hall introductions, and hotspots, with routes through the Mountain Gate, Heavenly Kings Hall, Mahavira Hall, and other spaces.

**V05:** Added dedicated entrances for the Wealth Deities and Garan halls, with separate Maitreya, Four Heavenly Kings, and Weituo areas, as well as main, side, and rear areas of Mahavira Hall.

**V07:** Retains the hall guide and connects spaces such as Randeng Pagoda and the Chan Forest Trail with more topics, reading, and interactive content.

## Interactions, Explanations, and Mobile Use

**V03:** Focused on hall images, written introductions, selected audio explanations, directory hotspots, and basic bell and drum interactions.

**V05:** Expanded incense, lamp, flower, and fruit offerings, added guided explanations and browser read-aloud, and improved viewing, tapping, and offering controls on phones.

**V07:** Keeps those interactions and explanations while bringing together page navigation, mobile reading, and topic entrances across the visit.

## Buddhist Culture and Daily Practice

**V03:** Introduced Buddhist figures, hall functions, and related cultural traditions through the temple spaces.

**V05:** Expanded content about the Eighteen Arhats, Cundi, Mahamayuri, and Thousand-Armed Guanyin, and linked Ksitigarbha Hall to the Hell Scroll.

**V07:** Brings together the Buddhist calendar, Nianfo Hall, meditation, Life Release Pond, Tiantai practice, Randeng Pagoda, the Dharma Realms diagram, Tower World, and other topics for further reading and exploration.

## Free Charts and Report Exports

Alongside the temple guide, V07 adds free chart tools with true solar time, Bazi, Ziwei Doushu, and Western astrology, as well as topic interpretations, yearly cycles, and locally saved cases.

Reports can be exported directly in the browser as Markdown (MD) documents for saving and reading. Charts remain free, and donations are voluntary. A full release of the divination system remains on the improvement roadmap.

## Accounts and Messages

Building on the existing email contact, V07 adds registration, sign-in, account settings, and temple messages. Visitors can share questions or suggestions; signed-in users can view their own messages and replies in their account.

The improvement roadmap leads directly to the message form so visitors can share what they would like to see. A community forum is still being explored.

## Voluntary Support and Page Navigation

V07 retains U.S. Apple Gift Card support and adds voluntary USDT donations. Visitors can choose USD 1–100 for website support or USD 1–20 as a voluntary offering on the chart page.

The About page now has five navigation sections covering the introduction, support options, upcoming improvements, messages, and version notes, available in both Chinese and English.
