Changelog

What’s new in Planlark

Release notes, new features, improvements, and bug fixes.

Current public version: v0.1.8

v0.1.7

LatestMarch 24, 2026

New

  • Lessons created from the week planner now show up consistently in both the class outline and unit planner views.
  • Lesson details now include a unit selector so any lesson can be explicitly attached to a unit without leaving the planner.

Improved

  • Raised the global UI text scale and bumped legacy micro-copy labels so planner text is easier to read across the app.
  • Class outline and unit planner now show unit badges and attachment status to make lesson-to-unit relationships easier to scan.
  • Public footer version label now resolves to v0.1.7 through the shared build version, and this changelog page reflects the latest planner updates.

Fixed

  • Lesson copy, paste, overwrite, and delete actions now resolve the real scheduled class slot instead of leaving behind stuck duplicate lesson records.
  • Bumping a lesson forward or backward now shifts the full class sequence instead of only swapping a single neighboring slot.

v0.1.6

March 20, 2026

New

  • Homework assign card now shows a mini calendar when selecting the due date — non-class days are greyed out so teachers can pick from upcoming class dates at a glance.
  • Unit planner Resources tab now supports PDF and DOCX file uploads — uploaded files are text-extracted for AI use and saved with the unit.
  • Clicking a lesson date block on the unit planner timeline now opens the lesson details popup directly instead of navigating away.
  • Opening a lesson from the unit planner popup now auto-saves the unit, closes the popup, and opens the lesson details — closing the lesson re-opens the unit popup on the same tab.

Improved

  • Unit planner window is now larger with a more intuitive layout and improved UI across all tabs.
  • Lesson dots on the unit planner calendar are now colour-coded to match their unit colour for easier visual scanning.
  • Save button in the unit planner popup is repositioned so it no longer overlaps with the close window button.
  • Unit popup lesson tab now opens lesson details popups instead of navigating to the day view — keeps the teacher in context.

Fixed

  • Fixed lesson details popup not restoring the unit planner popup state when closed after being opened from the unit planner.
  • Fixed unit planner save button being hidden behind the close button on smaller screens.

v0.1.5

March 18, 2026

New

  • Live Stripe subscription billing with Pro Monthly, Pro Annual, and School Annual plans — checkout, webhook sync, and Stripe customer portal integration.
  • Billing tab in Account Center now shows current plan, payment methods, recent receipts with hosted receipt links, and recent transactions with receipt URLs.
  • Added a manual "Sync from Stripe" button so billing admins can backfill invoices, charges, and payment methods from Stripe on demand.
  • Supply Plan form now auto-saves Special Notes, Emergency Contacts, Classroom Notes, and Duty Schedule to user settings — fields are pre-filled on next visit.

Improved

  • Subscription plan badge now appears next to user name in the sidebar and header dropdown for Pro and School subscribers.
  • Stripe webhook now handles charge.succeeded events to capture receipt numbers and hosted receipt URLs for transactions.
  • RBAC permissions tightened: SaaS Control is now restricted to site admins only — regular org owners no longer see the admin panel link.
  • Dev Debug page and sidebar link are now only visible to site admins, keeping the interface clean for regular teachers.

Fixed

  • Billing portal and checkout buttons now correctly handle missing Stripe customer profiles with proper error messages instead of generic failures.
  • Supply Plan auto-save no longer fires before initial load completes, preventing stale empty-value writes on page mount.

v0.1.4

March 17, 2026

New

  • Added a public comparison page for teachers at /compare with a comparison matrix, fit guidance, FAQ content, and sitemap coverage.
  • Added a searchable help index plus contextual related-help links from feature pages so teachers can move from marketing pages into real product guidance more easily.

Improved

  • Redesigned the About page with stronger founder context, better layout, and clearer “made by teachers, for teachers” positioning, including Andreas Much founder attribution and classroom background.
  • Redesigned the Pricing page UI to match the rest of the marketing site and clarified the Pro plan so core workflow capabilities are easier to understand.
  • Public footers now include a visible changelog link, and the shared footer version label now links directly to the changelog.

Fixed

  • Footer discovery was inconsistent because the changelog page was not linked from the main marketing footers.
  • Marketing sitemap coverage now reflects the current public page set, including the comparison page and latest public content updates.

v0.1.3

March 17, 2026

New

  • Added a first-class assessment builder with editable assessment records, question-level AI actions, answer keys with explanations, and template-aware assessment generation inside the unit planner.
  • Added standard assignment and text-based assignment templates with branded Planlark handout previews, student and answer-key views, and downloadable HTML exports.
  • Added curriculum import QA summaries plus a shared curriculum approval flow and curriculum-library admin page so approved outcome sets can be reused instead of re-imported from scratch.

Improved

  • Curriculum imports now preserve nested sub-outcomes, guiding questions, and more child outcome formats, which improves coverage tracking and later lesson alignment.
  • Landing-page footer now shows the live app version and links straight to the changelog.
  • Public SEO metadata now better reflects curriculum import, voice planning, outcome tracking, and AI-controlled assessments across the main marketing pages.

Fixed

  • Outcome imports are more resilient when the AI returns child outcomes before parents or uses alternate field names for subpoints and indicators.
  • Assessment template defaults now line up with the selected template mode instead of starting from a generic quiz configuration.
  • Search and downstream planning flows now see guiding-question text from imported outcomes more consistently.

v0.1.2

March 17, 2026

New

  • Added a site admin suite with an executive dashboard plus billing, finance, organizations, support, ops, AI intelligence, reporting, blog, and waitlist views.
  • Added a workspace SaaS control center for organization settings, billing profile updates, member role management, and Stripe subscription actions.
  • Added a public legal hub so privacy, terms, cookies, acceptable use, billing, and school data policies are easier to discover and navigate.

Improved

  • Weekly planner lesson cells now support richer inline editing, expandable details, and subject-filtered outcome tagging directly in the grid.
  • Lesson detail navigation now shows previous and next scheduled class occurrences, including empty scheduled slots, so lesson sequences are easier to follow.
  • Protected app navigation now adapts more cleanly to workspace-owner and site-admin permissions, with dedicated admin routes in the main sidebar.

Fixed

  • Adjacent lesson navigation now follows the real schedule timeline instead of only saved lesson records.
  • Between-period events such as breaks and lunch now land in intermission slots in the weekly planner instead of disappearing into the wrong time bucket.
  • Billing and account-management actions now enforce workspace-owner and site-admin permissions more consistently.

v0.1.1

March 14, 2026

New

  • Redesigned landing page with alternating light and dark UI sections and rotating feature card showcases.
  • Redesigned features page with categorized feature sections, rotating mockup cards, and structured data for SEO.
  • New changelog page to track releases and updates.
  • Added JSON-LD structured data (WebApplication + Organization) to the landing page for richer search results.
  • Sign-in and sign-up pages now included in sitemap for branded search discoverability.

Improved

  • Feature page footer now matches landing page footer with dynamic feature links from all feature sections.
  • Sitemap updated with proper lastModified dates, categorized page groups, and full coverage of all public pages.
  • Landing page SEO metadata now properly exported (extracted client component to enable server-side metadata).
  • Rotating card containers use fixed height for consistent card sizing — no more layout shifts during cycling.
  • Cycling cards now alternate between light and dark UI mockups within each section.

Fixed

  • Landing page could not export SEO metadata because it was a client component — now properly split into server + client components.
  • Cycling images were different sizes causing layout jumps — fixed with uniform card height.
