WeDispatch 1.10.0: knowing what you pay, and why
An Invoices screen that breaks down every amount, the exact price shown before you confirm a plan change, and the morning playlist finally readable on a light site. A tour of version 1.10.0.
An invoice that is correct but not understood has exactly the same effect as one that is wrong: it
gets disputed. This release goes after that, and after two things that were there without being
visible.
New
An "Invoices" screen, with the breakdown behind every amount. It takes its place in the menu,
under Account, and carries your whole history instead of the four lines in the side rail. Each invoice
unfolds: the lines that make it up, the period each one covers, and the prorated ones, marked as such.
That is what explains why an invoice for a plan change never matches the advertised price: the
remaining share of the new plan is added, the unused share of the old one is deducted. Those lines
have always existed at our payment provider; they were simply shown nowhere.
The exact amount, before you confirm a plan change. The confirmation window said "prorated from
today" without ever saying how much: the figure turned up on your statement. It is now worked out on
the spot and broken down, including when there is nothing to pay. A scheduled change gives its date, a
credit gives its amount.
Improved
The morning playlist stays readable on a light-background site. The article player reads the
colours of the page hosting it and matches them. The playlist embeds through a plain iframe and has
nobody to tell it anything: it was showing its dark theme over a white page, and since its card had no
background of its own, the list went invisible. It now paints its own background, follows the
visitor's display preference when it is given no colours, and guarantees that the currently playing
line stays readable whatever your accent colour is.
Three blog articles get their other-language version back. Their translation was published and
nothing pointed to it: neither the link at the top of the article, nor the declaration that tells
search engines the two pages are the same one in two languages. A missing link is not an error, it is
a silence, and nothing flagged it.
The em dash leaves everything you read. The previous cleanup only covered part of the product and
left some behind, right down to the pricing page. It is a writing choice: the sign is perfectly
correct, but it has become a signature, and a reader who spots it stops reading the text to wonder who
wrote it.
