changelog

every release, in plain english.

We don't ship "performance and stability improvements." If we changed something, you'll see what it was. Newest at the top.

v1.5.3
2026 · may 11

state coverage expands to 27 jurisdictions.

Nine more state reporter and code indexes added: Ohio, Michigan, Georgia, North Carolina, Virginia, Indiana, Arizona, Colorado, Wisconsin. Verification quality matches federal at v1.5 launch.

  • added · nine state jurisdictions, full reporter + code coverage
  • fixed · short-form cite resolution when only one prior long-form exists
  • fixed · Passim threshold respected when user manually unmarks an occurrence
  • improved · index download resumes if connection drops mid-update
v1.5.2
2026 · april 28

pin-cite range checking arrives.

v1.5 now verifies that pin-cites fall within the opinion's actual page range. A cite to "Pereira, 138 S. Ct. at 2114" is flagged if 2114 isn't between the opinion's first and last pages — usually a transposition.

  • added · pin-cite range checking for federal & SCOTUS reporters
  • added · cite-detail drawer shows "suggest 593 U.S. 388" inline when we have a candidate
  • changed · flagged-cite styling — left border thickened to 3px for visibility
  • fixed · settings modal Esc-to-close now also fires on the jurisdiction picker submodal
v1.5.1
2026 · april 12

quietness pass.

Most of this release is about not being annoying. Status toasts no longer pile up if you scan twice in a row; the pane keeps your scroll position when you return from a cite-detail drawer; the ribbon's "Insert TOA" is correctly disabled until a scan has run.

  • fixed · duplicate toasts on rapid re-scan
  • fixed · pane scroll preserved across drawer navigation
  • fixed · Insert TOA button state on cold open
  • improved · cite-detail jump-to-occurrence pulse easing
v1.5.0
2026 · march 24

verification ships. signal-orange is earned.

v1.5 is the release that justifies the name. Veraciting now cross-checks every detected cite against a local index of reporters, codes, regulations, and agency precedent — flagging anything we can't verify in signal-orange. Included for current annual subscribers, as promised.

  • added · v1.5 verification engine — five-check resolution per cite
  • added · flagged-cite UI: pane chip, doc-page underline, detail-drawer "why"
  • added · Cornell LII statute index · CFR snapshot · EOIR I&N Dec.
  • added · Settings → Trust → Index update cadence (Weekly / Monthly / Manual)
  • changed · ribbon icon for Scan updated; pane status text reads "ready" vs "verifying"
v1.5.0-beta
2026 · february 18

verification opens to active subscribers as opt-in beta.

Six weeks of beta on real briefs before general release. Thanks to the 47 attorneys who turned on the beta flag and sent us false-positive reports — the verifier shipped with a measurably lower flag-noise rate than where it started.

  • added · opt-in beta toggle in Settings → Trust
  • added · in-pane "Send false-positive report" with no document content attached
v1.2.0
2026 · january 9

onboarding gets a third screen.

Setup now ends with a "try it" step that offers to open a sample brief — a public-domain SCOTUS amicus — so first-time users can see what a scan feels like before pointing the add-in at a real draft. Per-user persistent skippable, of course.

  • added · onboarding step 3 with sample brief shortcut
  • added · ⌘ ⌥ V keyboard shortcut for "Open pane"
  • fixed · onboarding state persistence across reinstall
v1.1.0
2025 · november 30

agency precedent expanded.

NLRB and SSA Social Security Rulings join EOIR I&N Dec. in the marking index. The agency badge in the pane now distinguishes NLRB blue from BIA forest, since federal practice cites both.

  • added · NLRB & SSA SSR recognition in cite detection
  • added · IRS Rev. Rul. and Rev. Proc. citation patterns
  • improved · short-form cite resolution for agency reporters
  • fixed · re-scan correctly handles documents with mixed Best Authority + Veraciting marks
v1.0.0
2025 · october 14

veraciting v1 ships.

Marking, TOA insertion, TOC hyperlinking. Mac and Windows. AppSource public listing. $79/year. The product the studio set out to build is in the wild.

  • shipped · cite detection: cases, statutes, regulations, agency precedent
  • shipped · idempotent marking with veraciting_TA_ namespace
  • shipped · native Word TOA field insertion, Passim at 5+, court-aware hyperlinks
  • shipped · task pane UI: idle, scanning, marked, with cite-detail drawer
  • shipped · Settings modal — Scope / Output / Trust groups
  • shipped · Mac (Word for M365 on macOS Sonoma+) & Windows (Word for M365 on Win 11)
v0.9-beta
2025 · august 02

closed beta opens to 200 attorneys.

A small private beta in federal-immigration practice. Two months of real briefs surfaced ~140 issues — the long tail of citation idioms, jurisdiction-specific reporters, and Word add-in oddities you can't catch on synthetic fixtures.

  • thank you · to the 200 attorneys who broke this so it didn't break for anyone else
on cadence

Patch releases roughly every two weeks; minor releases roughly monthly; major releases when they're ready. We don't ship on a calendar — we ship when a release has a sentence we can put at the top of a changelog entry.
