Changelog

Dated, public release notes. Proof the tool is alive and maintained.

2026-10-01

Trailing-slash redirects and real 404s

  • Public URLs with a trailing slash 301 to the slashless canonical. Unknown paths return HTTP 404 instead of the homepage.
  • Missing pages are noindex so crawlers do not treat them as duplicate home content.

2026-09-25

Internal links and cookie-less analytics

  • Home, tools, templates, and vendor guides now link into cable schedule, termination list, instrument index, and range-low/high pages already in Search Console.
  • Public pages send pageviews to Plausible (no cookies, no banner). App and auth routes are excluded. Localhost does not load the script.

2026-09-25

GSC-backed titles, breadcrumbs, and thicker ranking pages

  • Titles and meta retarget cable schedule software, instrument index, termination diagrams, and range low / range high — queries already in Search Console.
  • Glossary, pillar, guide, and tool pages emit BreadcrumbList JSON-LD and a visible Saad byline. Glossary terms with extra detail now render it.
  • Vendor IO-list guides (DeltaV, PCS 7, Allen-Bradley) and cable-schedule / loop-diagram / termination pillars add worked examples without new URL farms.

2026-09-19

Free tools, templates, and named About

  • About names Saad. Contact accepts a vendor IO list and returns loop PDF, cable schedule, and termination list within 48 hours.
  • New client-only tools: cable schedule CSV, JB terminal numbering, ISA-5.1 tag check, and 4–20 mA wiring reference. No signup.
  • New ungated XLSX: ferrule labels and loop check sheet. Template pages show columns and example rows.
  • Guides: wire numbering, JB strip layout, Rev B packages, and loop-folder handover. Glossary: ferrule, from-to list, wire number, loop check, IEC 81346.

2026-09-14

Checkout moved to Paddle (merchant of record)

  • Online purchases are now processed by Paddle, which acts as merchant of record and issues the tax invoice.
  • Prices are shown excluding tax; applicable tax is added by Paddle at checkout. Receipts are issued in the app with a link to Paddle's tax invoice.
  • Refunds are submitted to Paddle and may require its review before they are approved.

2026-09-11

Upgrade difference billing, guest retention copy

  • Pack upgrades charge the difference to the next band, not a second full pack price.
  • Public copy matches guest-file retention: uploads are kept until claimed at signup, not a 60-minute wipe.

2026-09-10

Compare JSON-LD, Features and checkout copy

  • Compare pages emit Article JSON-LD. Features and Security state package contents, band overflow as the difference, and NDA/DPA.
  • Paid entitlement and pack checkout copy: Rev B/C inside the band is $0; growth past the band is the difference, not a second pack.

2026-09-10

Pricing honesty: revisions, hours, packs vs credits, NDA

  • Pricing states unlimited Rev B/C inside the purchased loop band; growth past the band is the difference to the next band, not a second full pack.
  • ROI table uses 0.5 h/loop drafting hours (25 h / 75 h) instead of an invented dollar rate. Every paid pack lists PDF, DXF, register, schedules, and QA.
  • Credits are labelled a 12-month multi-project alternative, not the default. Trust strip: DPA, NDA by email, mapping optional, on-prem Docker.

2026-09-10

Free first-15 package, homepage intent, and vendor guides

  • Free package download is a watermarked PDF of the first 15 field-wired loops; DXF stays with the pack. Regenerating a revision inside the band does not buy the pack again.
  • Homepage states the free slice, revision and confidentiality risks, package contents, and pack cost versus billed hours.
  • New cluster pages: generate vs EPLAN, pack vs billed hours, DeltaV / Siemens PCS 7 / Allen-Bradley IO-list guides.

2026-09-10

Crawlable public pages and IO-list checker

  • Production builds prerender every public route so crawlers see titles, copy, and JSON-LD without JavaScript.
  • Homepage dropzone is the primary call to action; guest preview still needs no account.
  • New pages: IO-list checker, loop-register pillar, ISA-5.1 guide, per-template URLs, CAD comparison, and glossary term pages.
  • About and contact pages: practising automation engineer; schematicforge@gmail.com, same-day replies. PayPal listed as active.

2026-08-26

Trust pages, legal boilerplate, and SEO noindex

  • Public FAQ, security, privacy, terms, refund, DPA (with downloadable PDF), sub-processors, and changelog pages.
  • Noindex handling for the app and auth routes so only marketing pages compete for search.

2026-08-26

Public site, anonymous parse preview, and full SEO

  • Marketing landing site with pillars, guides, glossary, templates, and a pricing calculator.
  • Anonymous IO-list preview: upload without an account, see counts and detected columns, then carry the upload into signup.
  • Static prerendering of all public pages with per-route meta, JSON-LD, canonical links, and a sitemap.

2026-08-25

Workbook round-trip and re-import

  • Generated Loop Register workbooks re-import with UUID matching, a diff preview, and apply.
  • Only changed loops regenerate, and the delta report lists what to re-issue.

2026-08-25

Core vertical slice (M1)

  • IO list import wizard with automatic column mapping and validation.
  • Auto-assignment of junction boxes, cables, wire numbers, terminals, and drawing numbers.
  • Loop Register workbook export, and deterministic DXF with editable block attributes plus SVG and PDF.
  • Multi-signal and multi-sheet loop generation with continuation flags.
  • Merged PDF and ZIP package export.
