Changelog

Welcome to the changelog section of Freemius, here you’ll find our weekly technical update notes. You can subscribe to all posts via newsletter or follow us on Twitter to stay updated.

This week, we are rolling out some significant quality-of-life improvements to the Developer Dashboard. These changes are not only aimed at fixing bugs, but also improving performance across data-heavy areas of the Dashboard.

Improved Data Loading in Tables

If you visit data-heavy pages like Licenses, Users, Subscriptions, Payments, and others, you will notice that the pages now feel snappier and load data faster than before.

We also found a bug where the Search UI could disappear after opening the sidepane, and have rolled out a fix for the same. We hope these improvements give you a better experience while browsing your data.

Confirmation Before Price Deletion

Confirm price deletion

The Dashboard will now ask for confirmation before deleting any price. This adds an extra layer of protection against accidental deletions, especially when managing multiple licenses, billing cycles, or currencies.

Other Fixes and Improvements

  • We noticed a few broken icons in some UIs and have rolled out a fix.
  • We noticed a UI glitch in the Setup Checklist section, and this has been fixed as well.

Invoices generated by Freemius include helpful information about various discounts, such as annual discounts and multi-license discounts, to help build buyer trust and confidence.

Freemius invoice example

However, we received feedback from our makers that discounts did not always look good, especially after a pricing update. For example, if makers increased their prices, the invoice could show a discount line saying “Additional Discounts”, which may not always be appealing to buyers.

Invoice with additional discount

To address this feedback, we are rolling out an update to our system. Invoices can now detect when there has been a pricing update and, in such cases, avoid rendering those additional discount lines to keep the invoice simple and straightforward.

Invoice without additional discount

This change applies only when the product pricing has been updated. Otherwise, invoices will continue showing discounts as before. We hope this addresses the issue. If you have any feedback, you can always contact our support team from the Developer Dashboard.

We have updated our billing form to accept Tax IDs of up to 18 characters. Previously, it was limited to 16 characters, which did not work well for some regions, such as China.

Billing Tax ID update

As Freemius continues expanding support for makers from different regions, small updates like this help make the platform more flexible for local billing and compliance requirements.

If you have any other issues, please feel free to contact our support.

We noticed a bug in the Affiliate Form of our Customer Portal where the link to the terms & conditions was broken for SaaS and App products.

This has been fixed.

This week, we’re rolling out a big update to our Email Customization feature.

So far, we have supported adding custom content to transactional emails, making it possible to include useful information such as onboarding instructions, access links, and more. However, the custom content section did not fully support RTL mode yet. With the release of RTL support in our Checkout, it made sense for our emails to follow the same flexibility.

Email customization RTL support in Freemius

With that in mind, today we are rolling out RTL support for Email Customization. Simply head to the Email Customization section, where you can now seamlessly enter RTL text and the system will automatically detect the text direction.

If you want to enter mixed text or force a specific direction, you can also explicitly set the Custom Text Direction option.

In addition, there is now an option to change the position of the custom section.

This is useful if you want to add fully localized custom instructions before the original email content.

We hope you find this feature useful. If you have any feedback or notice any issues, please feel free to reach out to us through support by logging in to the Developer Dashboard.
