TABLE OF CONTENTS

General

[UI Update/ Fix]: Updated homepage with a cleaner UI to improve focus on product usage.
- Updated Homepage top banner:
  - It now displays shortcuts to creating new "Study", "Table", "Report", and "Custom Dataset", removing the "Check out our knowledge base" button.
- Remove the outdated "Latest Insights" section from the Homepage

[UI Update/ Fix]: Visibility of the Panel Integration cards in Pipeline dashboard updated
- Whilst the [Shift] + [~] keyboard shortcut remains a required guard for accessing the PI setup, the distribution list itself no longer requires manual toggling for viewing.
- This change streamlines the user experience by providing immediate access to your active distributions while maintaining necessary protections for your underlying configurations.

[Feature Update]: Push notification content configuration handling switched to Pipeline metadata setting
- Configuration for push notification titles and descriptions has been migrated from the VE info card to the pipeline metadata settings.
- This update removes the rich-text editor to ensure content is displayed correctly without formatting errors, centralising management within the metadata configuration for improved consistency.

[UI Update/ Fix]: Grid single select now display full text in the option dropdown
- The update allows for enhanced display of long text within answer options to ensure better readability and interface consistency.
- Previously, text exceeding the layout box was truncated; however, this update introduces multi-line support, allowing the full text to be displayed within the dropdown menu without being cut off.
- This improvement ensures that all available information is visible to the respondents, regardless of the character length of the selected option.

[Bug Update/ Fix]: Dropoff sample URLs for unique survey link became invalid when re-accessed
- Previously, despite having a unique survey link, respondents were unable to re-access a survey after leaving it part way.
- The known issue has since been fixed and is now working as intended.

[Feature Release]: Ability to create custom variables in custom datasets
- Users may now create custom variables through Analyse for custom datasets.

[Bug Update/ Fix]: "Set interval" value overlaps in Period variable when timestamp at period boundary
- If a record ends at the exact same time the next one begins, the periods overlap at that specific moment. This causes the system to double-count information, recording the same data in both rows.
- The known issue has since been fixed and is now working as intended.

[UI Update/ Fix]: Removed "BETA" label from Visualise icon
- Removed "BETA" label on Visualise as the feature is now stable for common use cases.

[UX Update/ Fix]: Enhanced capacity on how rate limit are managed
- The rate limit has been raised to a medium frequency to allow for more consistent data flow.
- If users do happen to reach the limit, a new on-screen alert will immediately inform them so they are not left wondering why the data has paused.

[Feature Release]: Display of mean score based on Period Variable setting
- Users can now use a Period Variable to split their Mean Scores according to specific timeframes. The chart will automatically update to reflect these chosen periods, allowing for a clearer comparison of data over time.

[Feature Update]: Line chart gets refactored for better performance and maintainability
- Line charts have been optimised by refactoring the underlying code. This update ensures smoother performance and makes the charts easier to maintain and update in the future.

[Bug Update/ Fix]: Updated period variable intervals to prevent overlaps
- Much like Analyse, if a record ends at the exact same time the next one begins, the periods overlap at that specific moment. This causes the system to double-count information, recording the same data in both rows.
- The known issue has since been fixed and is now working as intended.
