Changelog
Release notes for Redline. What we're shipping and when.
Redline everywhere
The biggest release since launch. Redline moves beyond iOS to reach every screen your crew works from.
- Native Android client, built against the same API surface as iOS
- Web client at full feature parity, served from the same backend
- Upgraded AI model: lower inference latency, higher retrieval accuracy, expanded trade-specific context handling
- QuickBooks Online integration with bidirectional sync and conflict resolution
- Offline mode for iOS: local persistence for jobs and contacts, background sync with conflict-safe writes on reconnect
- Crew GPS check-in: geotagged clock-in events from the mobile client
- Bulk invoice send: batched dispatch with per-recipient delivery status
- Cross-stack performance and reliability work: query optimization, reduced cold-start time, tighter error budgets
Stability & speed
- Pipeline load time cut on large datasets (500+ contact records) via paginated fetches and list virtualization
- Fixed: stale credits meter after plan upgrade (cache invalidation miss on the entitlements record)
- Fixed: iOS crash on back-navigation from a job thread on iPhone SE (view-lifecycle teardown race)
- Fixed: activity timestamps pinned to US/Eastern regardless of locale; now stored UTC and localized client-side
- Search: prefix and substring tokenization added to the contact index, so partial name matches rank reliably
AI improvements
- Session-scoped context retention improved: better entity resolution across turns, fewer unknown-referent fallbacks
- Follow-up detection tuned for precision: overdue-lead classifier flags more accurately with fewer false positives
- Fixed: accounts-receivable query (“who owes me money”) returning $0 on a subset of accounts (aggregation error in the balance rollup)
- Fixed: keyboard-avoidance layout regression on iPadOS
Invoicing & payments polish
- Pay links now render merchant branding (business name and logo) server-side
- Deposit confirmation flow reworked: explicit payment state surfaced to the customer at each step
- Fixed: duplicate line-item aggregation in monthly P&L on jobs with split payments (idempotent rollup enforced)
- Fixed: duplicate reminder dispatch on jobs carrying two contacts (dedupe now keyed on job, not contact)
- QuickSort sort preference persisted per user across sessions
- iOS background-sync battery draw reduced via coalesced fetch intervals
Post-launch fixes
- Fixed: iOS first-launch crash for users who completed onboarding on web (nil profile state during hydration)
- Fixed: integration sync stalling after OAuth token refresh; refresh no longer invalidates in-flight sync jobs
- Crew tab: dispatch events now reliably fan out push notifications to the assigned tech's device
- Fixed: calendar events created via chat missing from calendar view (write path skipped the view index)
- Onboarding import: photo-to-contacts OCR pipeline improved, materially higher extraction accuracy
- Chat history hydration 2x faster on older devices (lazy pagination, smaller payloads)
Mobile, integrations & polish
The first major feature wave: Redline ships native on iOS and gets materially smarter.
- Native iOS app, universal build for iPhone and iPad
- Additional third-party integrations enabled through the connector layer
- QuickSort: one-tap job prioritization that ranks open work by expected value
- UI overhaul across the pipeline, contacts, and chat surfaces
- Extensive defect burn-down and reliability hardening
Performance
- Chat response latency down ~40% under load after backend concurrency tuning
- Fixed: silent receipt-snap failure on low-storage devices; capture now fails loudly with a retry path
- Fixed: phone number formatting dropped on spreadsheet import (number normalization corrected)
- Initial bundle slimmed and non-critical requests deferred: faster first load on constrained connections
- Pipeline card layout fixes at narrow breakpoints
Billing & accounts
- Fixed: free-plan credit counter lagging after an AI exchange; the meter now subscribes to usage events in real time
- Fixed: plan upgrades requiring a manual refresh; entitlements now propagate immediately on change
- Declined payments now surface the processor's reason codes instead of a generic error
- Calendar week view now starts on Monday (previously Sunday)
- Destructive-action guard: contact deletion now requires explicit confirmation
Day-one patch
Addressed the first wave of issues reported at launch.
- Fixed: onboarding blocked at step 3 for a subset of Firefox users (browser storage edge case)
- Fixed: double-tap race condition sending empty chat messages; submits are now debounced
- Fixed: completed jobs still reading “in progress” in the pipeline (status transition now invalidates the pipeline cache)
- Skeleton loading states rolled out across the dashboard: no more blank flash on first paint
Public launch
The first public release of Redline MVP: the chat-first field service tool built for contractors and home-service businesses.
