Changelog

What we shipped. What’s next.

Public, dated and honest. SmartBooks is pre-launch — every cohort gets the same release notes as the team.

How to read this

The changelog is intentionally plain.

SmartBooks is in a pre-launch pilot cycle, so public release notes need to be clear about what is already usable, what is being tested and what is still planned. We separate shipped items from in-progress and planned work so firms can judge the product without reading between the lines.

A shipped item means the capability is live on the marketing site, product surface or pilot stack. In-progress means the team is actively building or validating it. Planned means it belongs on the roadmap but should not be treated as available during procurement or client planning.

  • Shipped
    Available in the current site or product cycle.
  • In progress
    Being built, tested or prepared for pilot release.
  • Planned
    On the roadmap, but not a live buying promise.
