The db.sqlite3 file has been updated to reflect changes from applying database migrations.  These migrations likely include schema modifications such as adding new tables, altering existing columns, or adding indexes, based on recent model changes.  This update ensures the database is synchronized with the current application code. The specific changes are reflected in the applied migrations, rather than explicitly listed here due to the binary nature of the diff.

The API base URL in `AppConstants` has been updated from `http://172.16.0.240:8000/api/v1` to `http://192.168.1.3:8000/api/v1`. This change reflects a modification in the local development server's IP address.  This ensures the mobile app correctly communicates with the backend during development and testing.  The `apiBaseUrl` constant is used for all API calls within the application.

This commit introduces several enhancements to the app's theme to better reflect a financial application, focusing on color palette, typography, and UI element styling.

- Updated brand colors (primary, secondary, accent, error) to more conservative and finance-oriented shades for trust and stability.
- Added money colors (positiveAmountColor, negativeAmountColor, savingsHighlightColor, loanHighlightColor) for clear financial representation.
- Modified text colors (textPrimaryDark, textSecondaryDark, textPrimaryLight, textSecondaryLight) for better contrast and readability.
- Adjusted background colors (backgroundLight, backgroundDark) and introduced cardBackground colors for improved visual hierarchy.
- Added SACCO-specific colors (dividerColor, inactiveColor, successColor, warningColor, chart colors) for various UI elements.
- Updated ThemeData for both light and dark themes, including:
  - AppBarTheme: Adjusted text style and added elevation.
  - TextTheme: Modified font sizes and weights for better readability. Added styles for labels and titles.
  - InputDecorationTheme: Improved border styling and fill colors.
  - ElevatedButtonThemeData, OutlinedButtonThemeData, TextButtonThemeData: Styled buttons for a consistent look and feel.
  - CardTheme: Added elevation and rounded corners.
  - DividerThemeData: Defined the divider color and thickness.
  - BottomNavigationBarThemeData: Configured colors and styles for the bottom navigation bar.
  - TabBarTheme: Customized the appearance of tabs.
  - ChipThemeData: Styled the appearance of chips.
- Introduced helper methods (getAmountTextStyle, getSavingsTextStyle, getLoanTextStyle) to easily style financial amounts and highlights.

The Django development server was previously bound to 127.0.0.1,
preventing access from other machines. This change modifies the
`start_backend` function to bind the server to 0.0.0.0, making it
accessible from any IP address. This is necessary for testing and
deployment in environments where the backend needs to be accessed
remotely.

Specifically, the line:

`python manage.py runserver 127.0.0.1:$BACKEND_PORT > backend.log 2>&1 &`

was changed to:

`python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:$BACKEND_PORT > backend.log 2>&1 &`

This change affects the `runserver` command and the `BACKEND_PORT`
variable within the `start_backend` function.  It resolves an
accessibility issue, enabling external connections to the Django
development server.

The db.sqlite3 file was modified, reflecting schema changes
and data updates potentially related to recent feature
implementations or bug fixes. This binary change represents
an evolution of the database structure to support the application's
current needs. Specific changes may include modifications to
table definitions, data migrations, or updates to existing records.

This commit adds a demo image to the README.md file to provide a visual representation of the application. This helps users quickly understand the look and feel of the Sacco frontend.
The image `media/image.png` is referenced to showcase the UI.

This commit addresses issues related to form submission and navigation on the Login page (Login.tsx).

- Prevents default form submission using `e.preventDefault()` within the handleSubmit function.
- Removed "rememberMe" functionality from `login` function call as it's no longer used.
- Replaced `<Box component="form">` with native `<form>` to allow more direct control and styling, applying `style={{ width: '100%' }}` for consistency.
- Added `type="button"` to the password visibility toggle IconButton to prevent unintended form submissions when clicked.
- Added `onClick={(e) => e.stopPropagation()}` to the links "Forgot Password", "Sign up now", "Terms" and "Privacy Policy" to stop event bubbling and avoid form submission when these links are clicked.

These changes enhance user experience and fix potential issues with unwanted form submissions.

This commit introduces a comprehensive member dashboard, displaying key
financial data such as total savings, loan balance, and recent transactions.
It includes:

- Account Summary: Displays total savings, loan balance, and savings
  increase percentage.
- Financial Summary: Visualizes savings target progress and loan payment status.
- Recent Transactions: Lists recent account activity with type and amount.
- Loan Opportunities: Showcases available loan products.
- Upcoming meetings and community announcements.

Styled components enhance UI consistency. Mock data provides a
realistic representation of the dashboard. Responsiveness is improved
using Material UI's useMediaQuery hook.

Keywords: dashboard, savings, loans, transactions, UI, responsiveness, Material UI

This commit enhances the LoansList component with UI improvements:

- Implemented summary cards displaying key loan metrics (active loans,
  pending applications, loan portfolio) with trend indicators.
- Added loan type filtering functionality to the search and filter section.
- Refactored the UI for improved user experience, including visual
  enhancements like colored icons, adjusted spacing, and shadows.
- Integrated Material UI's `useTheme` hook for consistent styling.

These changes improve the usability and information visibility of the
loan management interface.

This commit refactors the AppRoutes component to utilize the new
SaccoDashboardLayout in conjunction with React Router's Outlet
feature.  Instead of wrapping each protected route individually
with the layout, a single <Route> component is used with the
SaccoDashboardLayout to serve as the parent layout. Individual
protected routes are then defined as children of this parent
route. This simplifies the structure and improves maintainability
of the routing configuration. Placeholder "Coming Soon" components
were added for unimplemented sections like reports, meetings and
settings in anticipation of future development.

This commit adds a default 'image.png' to the media directory.
This image will be used as a placeholder for user profiles
that do not have a profile picture uploaded yet.  This improves
the user experience by providing a visual representation
even when a custom image is unavailable.  This helps ensure
a consistent and complete user interface.

This commit introduces the `SaccoDashboardLayout` component,
providing a consistent and responsive dashboard structure for
the SACCO frontend. Key features include:

- Implemented a responsive drawer using MUI's `Drawer` component
  with configurable width and collapse behavior.
- Added styled components for consistent theming and appearance.
- Integrated user profile section with avatar, name, and member ID.
- Configured dynamic menu using `MenuItem` component with nested
  children and permission-based filtering.
- Implemented AppBar with search bar, notifications, and user menu.
- Added notification badge and menu for displaying notifications.
- Implemented theme toggle functionality (Dark/Light Mode).
- Persist sidebar collapsed state using localStorage.
- Added a search bar and getCurrentPageTitle function.
- Includes mock user and notification data (to be replaced later).

The db.sqlite3 file has been updated to reflect the latest
database schema changes introduced by new migrations. This
likely includes updates to table structures, indexes, or data
constraints to support new features or resolve existing issues.
These changes are essential for maintaining data integrity
and ensuring compatibility with the current application code.

This commit adds a 'screenshot.png' to the README.md file.

The added screenshot provides a visual representation of the application,
enhancing the README and giving users a quick overview of the user interface.

for the new style.

This commit refactors the MembersList component to enhance the user interface, improve data fetching, and simplify state management.  Key changes include:

- **Simplified Search:**  Removed debouncing from `handleSearch`, resetting the page number directly.
- **Streamlined Filtering:**  Consolidated filter logic in `handleFilterChange`, resetting page and closing the menu.
- **Enhanced Data Fetching:** Modified `fetchMembers` to use `searchQuery` and a ternary operator for `status` to improve readability and correctness.
- **Refactored Columns:** Simplified column definitions in the `columns` array for clarity, including removal of unnecessary `valueGetter` in most places, moved user fields under user object.
- **UI Improvements:**  Updated avatar styling, member status representation and search/filter UI.
- **Removed Unnecessary Components:** Removed Tabs for member filtering, is_verified status and related components.
- **Pagination Implementation:** Changed to server side pagination to handle data from the api.
