Lighter Public-Page Loading

3 changes
Improvement3 items
  • Public pages load font subsets only for the characters they need, while retaining support for accented European text.
  • Homepage review badges show local artwork immediately and load live badges as the listing approaches the screen. Reduced-motion browsing keeps the static listing.

Optional Acquisition Measurement and Stable Text Rendering

13 changes
Improvement12 items
  • Analytics preferences now cover optional coarse acquisition measurement, with clearer retention and withdrawal information.
  • Analytics withdrawal retries after temporary failures and removes linked signup attribution before email verification.
  • Consenting after public-page navigation preserves the original coarse landing category without storing browsing URLs.
  • Optional acquisition follows Analytics choices made in another tab, and signed-in analytics withdrawal remains available on shared connections.
  • Repeated optional capture and withdrawal lookup requests are limited with independent capacity, and the cookie notice describes the current measurement flow.
  • Analytics withdrawal also covers delayed requests from other tabs and uses removal capabilities to identify captured attribution.
  • Optional acquisition failures no longer interrupt account creation, and linking signup measurement requires current browser and cookie consent.
  • Consented signup measurement waits for a pending landing capture while keeping account creation available after measurement failures.
  • Concurrent tabs preserve the initial measured landing, and privacy withdrawal can proceed while a capture request is still in flight.
  • Blog and use-case discovery dates reflect the updated publication-date presentation.
  • Aggregate activation measurement makes retention limits explicit, and performance notifications avoid daily repeats for an ongoing incident.
  • Slow font downloads use fallback text instead of a late font swap, helping keep page layouts stable.
Security1 item
  • Email delivery keeps each connection’s TLS identity separate when reusing DNS results, and CMS network dependencies include upstream security fixes.

Clearer Publication and Update Dates

3 changes
Fix3 items
  • Newly published articles show their original publication date, with an update date appearing only after a later published revision.
  • The VAT API article now explains exact replay prerequisites, labels illustrative JSON examples, and links the current API references and EU VAT framework.
  • Article and use-case listings show publication dates in the same calendar as their detail pages.
3.6.498September 28, 2026

Stronger Public-Page Privacy and Original Article Dates

2 changes
Improvement2 items
  • Optional page-view measurement requires current analytics consent and stays disabled on missing pages and private previews.
  • Articles retain their original publication date through corrections, withdrawal and later republication.
3.6.497September 28, 2026

Clearer Article Dates and Reliable Content Discovery

3 changes

  • Blog and use-case discovery dates retain meaningful listing changes when published content is withdrawn.
  • Public performance and navigation measurement follows analytics consent and excludes private application pages.
3.6.496September 28, 2026

Clearer VAT Workflows and Public Information

6 changes
Improvement6 items
  • VAT API and integration pages now include practical workflow examples and clearer links to related tools and documentation.
  • Historical lookup guidance now distinguishes reviewed and legacy evidence from exact replay of eligible stored calculations.
  • Homepage rate snapshots now match the country pages, including Romania at 21%, and link to observation-date context.
  • Article titles avoid repeated branding, documentation updates retain accurate date meaning, and the footer is easier to read.
  • Country pages include clearer dated-snapshot arithmetic, with national source context for Romania, Slovakia, and Sweden.
  • Trust pages make the project maintainer, correction contact, and public update dates easier to find.
3.6.495September 27, 2026

LaunchBuff Listing

1 change
