Changelog - what we shipped

EVERY RELEASE MADE THE DAY QUIETER.

We ship most weeks. Here are the changes studios actually felt - no version-number noise, just what got better.

Last release · version v0.49.1

  1. v0.43.2

    Filters that read as one thing

    Changed
    • Filtering a list is now three matching fields on one line - search, the thing you are filtering by, and the time range. The range used to be a row of buttons that dropped onto a second row on a narrow screen.
    • Lists still narrow as you type, with no button to press.
  2. v0.43.1

    One width, not one per page

    Fixed
    • Every screen in the app used to be its own width - the client list, the calendar, the money screen and the forms were all different, and none of it had been decided. There are two widths now: one for ordinary screens, and the full screen for the dashboards, the calendar and the staff console.
    • The subscriptions screen listed every account with no way to narrow it. It now has the same search and filter bar as the rest of the app.
  3. v0.43.0

    The console we run the business from

    Added
    • Your dashboard now shows the shape of the month, not just today's numbers: money taken per month and bookings taken per week, drawn from your own figures in your studio's own time zone.
    • Every chart carries the same numbers as a table beside it, so an exact figure is always one click away and a screen reader can read it.
    Changed
    • The dashboard now updates itself when anything on it changes - a payment recorded at the front desk moves the money figure straight away, not only bookings as before.
    • Any screen that refreshes itself has a Pause control, so you can stop the numbers moving while you read them.
    • Screens full of data now use the width of the screen instead of a narrow column, while forms keep a width that is comfortable to fill in.
    • Every list that can be searched or filtered now uses the same bar, in the same place, with the controls lined up.
    Fixed
    • A row of fields that ends in a button now lines up properly - the button used to sit above the line the fields appeared to end on.
    • Search boxes no longer clash when a screen has more than one, and the label of a search box now points at the box it belongs to.
  4. v0.42.0

    The home page shows the real thing

    Changed
    • The walk through a studio's day on the home page now shows the actual application - the calendar, a signed consent, a booking's reminders, closing up and the client record - instead of drawings of them.
  5. v0.41.1

    The watchman stops hanging

    Fixed
    • The check that watches the live site could hang on a page that keeps a live connection open, and then report a problem that was not there. It now gives up quickly and says so.
  6. v0.41.0

    A day that matches, and a watchman

    Changed
    • The home page now walks through the day the product actually has: the reminder you can see the outcome of, and closing a booking with its end time and what it used.
    Fixed
    • A real browser now opens the live site every few hours and checks that its pages not only answer but work - a page whose JavaScript died halfway looks fine to a monitor and is useless to a person.
  7. v0.40.0

    Measured, found and painted

    Added
    • Runavel says plainly that it is in early access - on the way in, in the footer of every page, and in the terms, where what that means is set out along with the two things that make it fair: your work is backed up, and your data leaves with you whenever you want it.
    Changed
    • The red brush stroke on the home page is now a real brush - it lays paint from left to right as you scroll, instead of sliding a rectangle out from under the page.
    • The error pages wear the same mark as the rest of the site, so a wrong turn still looks like Runavel.
    Fixed
    • Some machine-readable pointers still sent search and answer engines to three addresses that no longer exist.
  8. v0.39.0

    The public site

    Added
    • Runavel has a public site: what the product does, what it costs, what has changed and who is behind it - and every page says only what the application actually does today.
    • A features page that follows one studio day from doors-shut to cashing up, showing the real screens rather than drawings of them.
    • Pricing read from the plan catalogue, so the page and the payment can never disagree.
    • A changelog anyone can read, straight from the one this file belongs to.
  9. v0.38.0

    Stock and what a job costs

    Added
    • Your stock is now in Runavel: the inks, needles, jewellery and everything else you buy, with what is on the shelf worked out from what arrived and what was used - never a number somebody typed over.
    • Closing a booking asks when the work actually finished and what it used. The shelf goes down by itself, and the booking shows what those materials cost.
    • The money screen shows materials month by month beside what you took, priced at what that stock cost when it arrived - so a supplier putting prices up does not make last month look worse than it was.
    • One message a day, in your own evening, listing anything under a level you set. Nothing low means nothing sent, and lines you have not set a level on are never mentioned.
  10. v0.37.0

    The channel we switched on

    Added
    • A booking now shows what happened to its reminder: sent by email, sent by text, refused, or not sent at all with the reason. The same appears on the client record, so nobody has to guess whether a client was told.
    • A client who stops the text messages by replying STOP is marked as opted out automatically. The studio no longer keeps paying for messages a carrier is blocking, and the client record stops saying they are happy to be texted.
    • New studios get 14 days of the back office free, without giving a card. The plan screen says when the trial ends and that nothing has been charged; a studio's public page still opens with its first payment.
    Changed
    • Recording a refund now says plainly that Runavel does not send the money: you return it the way you took it, then write it down here.
    • While a member of our team is viewing a studio's account for support, a notification can no longer cover the banner that says so, or the button that ends it.
    Fixed
    • A reminder that failed used to be invisible: nothing on the booking changed and the failure went only to a log file.
