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. v0.31.1

    Scheduled work is watched

    Changed
    • Runavel's background jobs now report in when they finish, so if one stops running we are told rather than finding out later. Expired data exports are also cleared every few hours instead of once a night, which means an archive of your records is removed sooner after its download window closes.
  2. v0.31.0

    Monitoring beyond errors

    Changed
    • Behind the scenes, Runavel now records which version each problem came from, keeps the log lines leading up to it, and measures how long pages and queries take. None of this changes what you see; it means a problem you report can be traced to the exact release and request rather than guessed at.
  3. v0.30.0

    What's new, and a refunds policy

    Added
    • Runavel now publishes everything that has shipped, at /changelog - newest first, in plain language, with a link to each release.
    • The terms of service now carry a refunds policy: monthly billing, cancel any time and keep working until the end of the month you paid for, and two things we refund without argument - a charge you did not agree to, and a month Runavel was unusable through our fault.
  4. v0.29.1

    Finding a client, and an export that tells you it is ready

    Fixed
    • The export page now updates by itself the moment your export is ready. It used to sit on "Being built..." until you refreshed the page.
    • Choosing a client on a booking or an enquiry is now a search box rather than a dropdown of every client you have. On a studio with years of history the dropdown could not reach everyone, which meant creating a duplicate client without realising.
  5. v0.29.0

    Your money, faster lists and taking your data with you

    Added
    • A new Money page answers the three questions about your own business: what you have taken, what you are still owed, and which artist brought in what. Every figure is worked out from your booking and payment records as the page loads, so it is never a stale total, and months follow your studio's calendar rather than UTC.
    • You can now export everything your studio holds in Runavel from the new Export data page: a zip with a spreadsheet for clients, bookings, payments, enquiries, consents, artists, studios and services. It is built in the background and the download stays available for seven days. Signed consent PDFs are listed with a link to each rather than bundled, because they are encrypted where they are stored.
    Changed
    • The client and booking lists now search on the server and load a page at a time instead of every record you have ever created. Finding a client is typing part of a name, email or phone number rather than scrolling.
    • The public pages no longer mention artist payouts, which Runavel does not do.
  7. v0.27.2

    Honest figures and readable sizes

    Fixed
    • Storage figures are shown in units a person reads (2.4 GB rather than a long row of digits) everywhere they appear.
  8. v0.27.1

    A look of our own

    Added
    • Runavel has its own design: a new colour palette, typography and a consistent set of components across every screen, with the fonts served from Runavel rather than a third party.
    • Emails are now properly designed in HTML with a plain-text version, matching the app, and they render correctly in dark mode.
    Changed
    • Every list now refreshes itself when something changes, and the audit log says what actually changed rather than only which record was touched.
    • The staff console and the app are visibly different environments, so there is no doubt which one you are looking at.
  9. v0.26.0

    A trial, and a gentler door

    Added
    • New studios get a 14-day trial of the back office. Your public page opens as soon as your first payment goes through.
    Changed
    • A studio that has paid and then stopped keeps its public page and can finish the bookings it already has. Only new work is paused, and paying resumes everything.
    • A failed card payment now gives you seven days of full access before anything changes, rather than locking the diary on the day.
  10. v0.25.1

    Plans and payment

    Added
    • You can now sign up, choose a plan and pay by card through Stripe, then use Runavel straight away.
    • Change plan, cancel at the end of the period and read your invoices from the Plan page.
