Reproducible installation checks were refreshed so production builds continue to use the validated dependency set.
Local preview environments continue to start correctly while deployed application images retain their production hardening.
Updated VAT Engine artwork now covers browser tabs, bookmarks, Apple and Android home screens, Windows tiles, and installed web apps across the supplied device sizes.
The installable app keeps its existing VAT Engine identity and launch behavior while using the refreshed icon family.

Launchpad Listings Are Easier to Explore

1 change

Improvement1 item

A clearly labelled homepage section now presents launchpad badges in a continuous scroll that pauses on hover or keyboard focus, links directly to each VAT Engine listing, and switches to a fully visible keyboard-friendly grid for visitors who prefer reduced motion.

3.6.383August 22, 2026

Cross-platform Decision Replay Is Clearer

8 changes

Improvement8 items

The roadmap now defines one shared tax-reconciliation workflow for every commerce integration, while keeping product classification separate from expected VAT treatment and comparison with the tax observed on an order.
Each connected platform’s source record remains separate from the shared transaction facts, so rule, registration, representative, or account-setting changes reevaluate only the affected tax decisions.
Connected-platform transaction facts will remain unchanged when VAT rules or account settings are updated; only affected tax decisions will be reevaluated.
Planned product classification will preserve the exact merchant mapping result used, preventing different product rules from being treated as the same decision.
Planned IOSS decisions will preserve the goods value, discounts, separately stated delivery costs, threshold currency, and exchange-rate evidence used at the time of sale.
Later customs processing or exchange-rate changes will not silently change a previously determined low-value eligibility result.
Planned July 2028 treatment requires the linked distance-sale representative only when an import representative is legally required, reproduces that result from the saved transaction facts and applicable settings, permits one valid appointment or separate appointments, respects eligible import exemptions, and keeps higher-value imports on their applicable rules.
Optional customer-payment and joint-liability treatments remain separate, while transactions with incomplete or contradictory evidence stay outside filing-ready totals until resolved.

3.6.379August 22, 2026

Missing Ledger Countries Stay Visible

3 changes

Fix3 items

Transaction Ledger routes now show an explicit dash when dispatch or destination country evidence is unavailable, instead of leaving part of the route blank.
A route guide and row-level explanations clarify that routes read from dispatch to destination and that a dash means unavailable or not applicable.
Service destinations and complete country routes continue to display normally, while unresolved source evidence remains available for review.

3.6.378August 22, 2026

Shopify Buyer Classification Verified

2 changes

Improvement2 items

Order-metafield, Shopify buyer-attribution, and hybrid override modes have completed controlled development-store verification across saved settings, background reclassification, and account review.
Mode changes return safely to the Order-metafield baseline while unresolved customer evidence remains visible for review.

3.6.377August 21, 2026

Shopify Classification Mode Retries Are Clearer

2 changes

Fix2 items

If another account operation is still processing, a Shopify buyer-classification mode change now responds promptly and keeps the unsaved selection available to retry shortly.
Mode changes continue to preserve a clear revision boundary, so eligible records are processed entirely under one saved classification configuration.

3.6.376August 21, 2026

Shopify Classification Settings Stay Stable

3 changes

Improvement3 items

Native and hybrid buyer-classification confirmations now remain in place while merchants review and save Settings changes.
Classification mode changes use revision-checked saves and retain Order metafield as the safe baseline option.
Order-metafield B2B and B2C recognition remains consistent across preview, synchronization, reconciliation, and account review.

3.6.375August 21, 2026

Shopify Permission Health Matches Normal Sync

3 changes

Fix3 items

Shopify connection health now checks the order, product, and fulfillment-routing permissions used during every normal synchronization.
Removing a required product or routing permission stops reconciliation before incomplete order data can be processed.
The additional buyer-classification permission remains isolated to native and hybrid modes, so Order-metafield classification remains available when only that optional permission is absent.

3.6.374August 21, 2026

Shopify Buyer Classification Sync Is More Reliable

4 changes

Fix4 items

Shopify previews and background imports now keep buyer-classification results consistent when the same order revision is processed again.
Historical imports preserve complete refund, fulfillment, and product evidence while staying within Shopify bulk-query limits.
Embedded previews now load empty warning and blocker lists correctly, and classification review messages identify missing dispatch evidence accurately.
Shopify release validation remains reliable as reviewed integration contracts are refreshed.

3.6.373August 21, 2026

Shopify Development-Store Verification Expanded

2 changes

Improvement2 items

Controlled Shopify testing now covers Order-metafield, native B2B, and hybrid buyer-classification modes across direct and background workflows.
Reconciliation, webhook, historical-import, and correction checks now verify that incomplete buyer evidence remains outside filing-ready results.

3.6.372August 20, 2026

Historical Rate Limitations Are Clearer

3 changes

Improvement3 items

Rate documentation now distinguishes current recorded date windows from source-verified legal applicability.
The roadmap now covers complete evidence across targeted country updates and preserves the calculation behavior needed for exact future replay.
Older rate and calculation history will remain clearly identified when exact source evidence was not captured.

3.6.371August 20, 2026

Versioned Rate History Added to the Product Roadmap

3 changes

Improvement3 items

The roadmap now includes immutable TEDB source fingerprints and a named rate-data version on future rate-bearing responses.
Planned nightly checks will flag upstream changes, failures, missed checks, and stale data independently of customer requests.
Planned version and as-of controls will allow eligible calculations to be replayed with their original approved rate data while older records remain clearly identified where exact source evidence was not captured.
