# What we shipped, and when.

Published because we committed to it, and kept honest because a changelog with nothing awkward on it is not worth reading. Dates are the day the work reached production.

> Meridian ships continuously rather than on a version schedule, so entries are grouped by release date instead of by version number. Each one lists only changes a customer could notice. This page is maintained by hand today; automating it from the release itself is work we have not done yet.

## 2026-09-01 — A site of its own, and pricing that matches the product

- **New** — The marketing site and the application now run as separate services on separate hostnames, so an application deploy cannot take the public site down, and vice versa.
- **New** — Rebuilt the pricing page on the current model: four editions, unlimited users on every one, a banded invoice meter with a published ceiling, and a calculator that runs your own numbers.
- **Improved** — Prices on the site are now read from the same rate module the billing job uses, so the page cannot advertise a rate we do not charge.
- **Fixed** — Invoice links sent by email opened a page that could fail to render the invoice. They now serve the document directly.

## 2026-08-18 — Authorization hardening

- **Security** — Write operations checked that you were signed in but not that your role permitted the action, so any signed-in member — including a read-only Viewer — could create, edit and delete records. The permission model itself was correct; the routes were not consulting it. Fifty-seven handlers were fixed in this release and the remainder are held by an automated check that only lets the count fall. No customer data was affected: the product had no customers at the time.
- **Security** — A shop's original owner can no longer be removed or demoted, so an organization cannot be locked out of its own account.
- **New** — Fleet preventive maintenance, promised times on tickets, and ticket history.
- **Improved** — Stricter validation on data entering the system.

## 2026-07-24 — Pilot readiness for mobile shops

- **New** — A governed way to reopen a closed ticket, with its own permission and a per-user override editor — so correcting a mistake no longer means working around the system.
- **New** — Customer price matrices, including cost-based rules, applied automatically at the counter and on ad-hoc parts.
- **New** — A per-unit quick-rework picker: prior work, due PMs, deferred work and kits, in one or two taps.
- **Security** — Part cost is now hidden from roles that should not see it everywhere it can leave the system, rather than only on the screens where it was obvious.

## 2026-07-13 — Customer portal and the documentation site

- **New** — A secure customer portal with real accounts: work history, work in progress, scheduling, billing and statements, and per-unit access — replacing a single unsecured link.
- **New** — A QuickBooks Desktop general journal export for firms whose accountant needs one.
- **New** — Documentation and training at help.meridianhdx.com.
- **Improved** — Reworked navigation, and file storage moved to private cloud storage with access control.

## 2026-06-29 — Real inventory costing

- **New** — FIFO cost layers throughout inventory, so cost of goods sold is the cost of the specific parts consumed rather than a running average — and a return comes back on the layer it left.
- **New** — DOT driver vehicle inspection reports, with your own templates and stored signatures.
- **New** — Dispatch tickets for mobile and on-site work.
