Run the free checkThese Broadcastwell release notes list what we changed on our public pages between 1 October and 9 November 2026: these docs, the app, the Absence Index and the assistant. Each entry carries the date the change went live and a link to the page it changed. The newest month comes first.
Updated 9 November 2026.
We built this list from the public change history of our four public source repositories, read on 9 November 2026. We left out changes a buyer cannot see, such as test files and internal checks, and changes to offers we no longer sell. Where several changes on one day touched the same page, we combined them into one entry.

How we date and choose an entry
An entry's date is the calendar day recorded in the change history when the change reached the public branch that serves the page. A page can take a few minutes longer to refresh.
We list a change when a reader of the public page can see it: new pages, new data, corrected wording, accessibility and speed fixes. Wording fixes inside a single answer are grouped under their library update. Our article archive lists the studies and articles themselves by publication date, and our model release tracker records the engine providers' own releases, which are not our changes.
