What's new

Product updates, improvements, and fixes — most recent first.

v0.20.3FixApril 21, 2026
  • FixedCheckout now confirms your plan instantly after payment instead of always waiting up to 30 seconds.
v0.20.2FixApril 21, 2026
  • FixedRefund timestamp now records the correct date and time instead of a literal placeholder.
  • FixedRemoved a permissions loophole that could allow direct edits to account tier.
v0.20.1DebugApril 21, 2026
  • FixedDisabled checkout activation endpoint for webhook testing — verifying Paddle signature validation.
v0.20.0FixApril 21, 2026
  • FixedCheckout activation now correctly distinguishes a new upgrade from a duplicate — the confirmation screen shows the right message in both cases.
v0.19.9FixApril 21, 2026
  • FixedCheckout iframe no longer crashes when the payment panel hasn't fully appeared yet — Paddle now verifies the container exists before mounting.
v0.19.8FixApril 21, 2026
  • FixedCheckout activation no longer spins endlessly — sandbox payments now verify correctly, with a 20-second fetch timeout and a reliable 30-second fallback.
v0.19.7FixApril 20, 2026
  • FixedCheckout no longer gets stuck on "Activating your plan..." — activation now works correctly and shows a helpful message if it takes longer than expected.
v0.19.6ImprovedApril 20, 2026
  • ImprovedStudio tier upgraded — now includes 1,500 credits/month (up from 1,000) and 50 GB render storage (up from 40 GB) at the same $249 price.
v0.19.5FixApril 20, 2026
  • ImprovedSignup & resend rate limits — first offense blocks for 30 minutes with a live countdown; repeat offenses escalate to 24 hours.
  • FixedLogin & signup CAPTCHA — the security check now resets automatically after a failed attempt so you can retry without reloading the page.
v0.19.4FixApril 20, 2026
  • FixedUpgrade page — plan now activates instantly after payment without relying on webhook delivery; the backend verifies the transaction directly with Paddle and assigns the tier in real time.
v0.19.3FixApril 20, 2026
  • ImprovedResend confirmation email — now rate-limited per email address (4/hour) separately from the signup IP limit, with its own error message.
v0.19.2SecurityApril 20, 2026
  • NewCAPTCHA on signup and login — Cloudflare Turnstile protects both forms from automated abuse.
  • NewSignup rate limiting — each IP is limited to 4 signup attempts per hour.
  • ImprovedResend confirmation code — now goes through a rate-limited server route instead of calling Supabase directly from the browser.
v0.19.1FixApril 20, 2026
  • FixedCheckout — email is now pre-filled from your account so you don't have to retype it.
  • FixedUpgrade page — plan activates automatically after payment without needing a manual refresh; a spinner shows while the purchase is being confirmed.
v0.19SecurityApril 19, 2026
  • NewRe-signup abuse prevention — a SHA-256 hash of deleted account emails is retained after hard deletion; re-registering with the same email starts with 0 credits instead of 50.
  • NewApp-wide restriction banner — restricted accounts now see an amber banner on every dashboard page, not just Settings.
  • NewUpload gate for restricted accounts — the model upload area on the render page is replaced with a restriction message instead of the drop zone.
  • ImprovedPrivacy Policy — documents SHA-256 email hash retention under legitimate interest basis.
  • ImprovedTerms of Service — adds re-registration credit and tier transfer clause.
v0.18PaymentsApril 19, 2026
  • NewIn-app upgrade page — authenticated users can now purchase lifetime access directly from app.rendertize.com/dashboard/upgrade with Paddle inline checkout. User ID is passed securely so purchases are always matched to the correct account.
  • NewUpgrade button — free-tier users now see an Upgrade button in the sidebar.
  • NewPlan-aware signup flow — clicking 'Get Lifetime Access' on the pricing page redirects to signup with the selected plan, then straight to checkout after email verification.
  • NewAdmin panel — internal admin.rendertize.com with magic-link auth, user management, credit grants, tier assignment, refund tooling, transaction list, and usage stats.
  • FixedPayment bugs — fixed credits_balance column name mismatch in assign_tier() and grant_monthly_credits(); added missing transaction_id column to paddle_purchases; fixed credit_ledger reason constraint to include 'refund' and 'initial_grant'.
  • ImprovedTerms of Service — added 'one tier per account, no upgrades' clause to lifetime deal terms.
  • ImprovedNo-upgrade enforcement — accounts with an existing paid tier silently skip re-assignment from Paddle webhooks; admin panel uses force-override for support cases.
  • FixedCredit ledger — all five credit functions (deduct_credits, grant_credits, grant_initial_credits, grant_monthly_credits, assign_tier) now use SET search_path = public and correct column names, resolving silent failures since March 7.
  • FixedMonthly credit grant — free-tier users are now explicitly excluded from grant_monthly_credits() using an allowlist of paid tiers.
  • FixedDuplicate signup trigger — on_profile_created_grant_credits is now guaranteed to exist exactly once, preventing 4x credit_ledger entries on new signups.
  • FixedSettings — deletion modal now closes immediately after scheduling; cancel deletion banner disappears instantly and re-syncs with the server.
  • FixedSettings — account restriction banner now uses a generic message instead of a GDPR Art. 18 reference.
  • FixedRender page — 451 (account restricted) responses now show a specific support message instead of a generic queue error.
  • FixedAnalytics — first_upload_at now populates on first render submission alongside first_render_at.
v0.17FixApril 18, 2026
  • FixedPaddle checkout — sandbox mode now loads from sandbox-cdn.paddle.com so test payments route correctly instead of hitting the production endpoint.
