## At a glance

- Driver pay on a manifest is read-only once the driver's settlement is Closed, Verified, Sent or Paid.
- Ongoing recurring charges show their transaction history again, with statement download and email.
- When sending settlements in a batch, the To Phone header checkbox turns off texts for the whole batch.
- Dispatchers can run the Order report for the teams they belong to, not only for their own loads.

## Improvements

### When sending settlements in a batch, the checkbox in the To Phone column header turns off the text message for the whole batch.

- Why we changed it: A phone number that will not be texted is shown greyed out. A row whose only recipient is a phone shows No recipient and is not sent.

### Filters and search on What's new show the matching changes themselves, grouped by release.

- Why we changed it: Before, the list kept one cover per release, so a filter never showed what matched. The module chips are now a single Filter by module dropdown next to the category tabs.

## Fixes

### Verifying paperwork while paperwork checks are in Trial asks "Are you sure?" again instead of asking for a reason.

- Why we changed it: With paperwork checks On, "Verify paperwork anyway" still requires a reason.

### Notes and other popups no longer close on their own while you are typing, when a new version of the app is released.

- Why we changed it: The reload for a new version waits while a field has focus or a menu or window is open.

### Ongoing recurring charges show their transaction history again.

- Why we changed it: Each settlement deduction is listed with its date, settlement, who made it and the amount, with statement download and email. The history appears under the form when you open an ongoing charge.

### Open windows stay open when a new app version is released.

- Why we changed it: An open window and what was typed in it could be lost when the app reloaded about 60 seconds after a new version was detected. The reload now waits while a window is open and runs once it is closed.

### Driver pay on a manifest is read-only once the driver's settlement is Closed, Verified, Sent or Paid.

- Why we changed it: Since October 11 the lock covered only Sent and Paid settlements. Pay changed on a Closed or Verified settlement never reached the settlement total.

### Carriers are no longer blocked on Sign by a phone number the broker typed in a local format.

- Why we changed it: If no pre-filled phone can be read, the field is left empty for the carrier to fill in.

### A tender offer page shows "Continue here" instead of "session invalid" when its session is replaced.

- Why we changed it: Two open tabs no longer keep closing each other's session.

### The missing ZIP warning on a tender lists every stop without a ZIP, numbered by its sequence on the load.

- Why we changed it: Create stays disabled until the load has loaded, so the stop check runs first.

### Settlements show a split manifest by its label, for example 216-B, instead of its internal number.

- Why we changed it: This covers the manifests table, its search and the Apply actual miles window.

### Dispatchers can run the Order report for the teams they belong to, not only for their own loads.

- Why we changed it: Selecting a team no longer produces an empty report.
