CHANGELOG

What's new, version by version.

Every notable change to AI Proposal Writer for Upwork. Version numbers refer to the Chrome extension; backend changes that don't require an extension update are listed under the version they shipped alongside.

Latest · v1.0.5 6 releases Since April 2026

1.0.5

May 2026 CURRENT
BUG FIXES
  • Fixed job detection on Upwork's slide-out details modal (URLs with _modalInfo, navType=slider). The parser was reading content from search-card listings above the modal instead of the job currently being viewed. Now scopes all queries to the modal element.
  • Handled Upwork's modal-layout duplicated data-test="Description Description" attribute that exact-match selectors were skipping.
OTHER
  • Listing title expanded for clearer feature discovery on the Chrome Web Store: now AI Proposal Writer for Upwork with Fit Score, Templates & History.

1.0.4

May 2026
BUG FIXES
  • Fixed post-Google-sign-in flow on Upwork tabs. Fresh logins were incorrectly landing on the "Open Upwork" placeholder because the active-tab tracker captured a stale URL during the OAuth popup. Re-queries the active tab whenever auth flips into a signed-in state, and filters out non-web URLs (chrome://, chrome-extension://) from tab tracking so OAuth handlers can't pollute state.
BACKEND (LIVE FOR ALL USERS)
  • AI prompt: bold allowed for one phrase in the hook only (highlights the sharpest insight); hard ban on emojis; direct CTA appended after the insight question; closing-line shortened from sentences to salutations so the CTA stays the last thing the client reads.
  • Refund reconciliation in /api/billing/details: when an order.refunded webhook fails to deliver, the next time anyone opens Plans & Billing the system detects the refunded order and automatically downgrades — self-heals without admin intervention.

1.0.3

April 2026
NEW FEATURES
  • Bio field in Settings (5000 character cap to match Upwork's profile description). Free-form professional summary that the AI uses for angle and proof-point selection. Strongest output quality boost when paired with a saved writing sample.
  • Pre-refund eligibility check — admin endpoint and in-app indicator showing usage against the 10-proposal threshold for the current billing period.
  • Refund handling — admin-issued full refunds on Polar trigger immediate downgrade to Free, log a Refund processed entry in the subscription history timeline, and send a confirmation email with the refund amount.
  • Subscription history timeline in Plans & Billing → Overview, showing chronological events (signup, upgrade, cancellation scheduled, refund, downgrade).
  • Tabs in Plans & Billing — Overview / Plans, with a context-aware default tab (Pro users land on Overview, Free users on Plans).
  • Cancel-at-period-end — cancellation now defers to the end of the current billing period instead of revoking access immediately. Reactivate any time before the end date.
  • AI prompt hardening — anti-prompt-injection (ignores embedded "type the word X" client traps in job descriptions) and anti-AI-detection rules (no em dashes, forbidden vocabulary list, forbidden sentence shapes).
BUG FIXES
  • Stale-plan token handling: when a webhook downgrades a user, /api/billing/details issues a fresh access token so plan limits and the badge update without a sign-out / sign-in.
  • Back button from Plans & Billing returns to Settings when opened from there, instead of dropping to the job page.
  • Permissive Upwork URL check: detects all *.upwork.com subdomains, not only www.upwork.com.
  • Inline Cancel subscription button in Settings replaces the previous "Manage subscription" portal redirect.

1.0.2

April 2026
OTHER
  • Fixed Chrome Web Store rejection caused by the key field in the production manifest. Build flow now strips the field after Plasmo writes the manifest. Same code as 1.0.1; this version exists only for resubmission.

1.0.1

April 2026
NEW FEATURES
  • Polar.sh billing — $15/month Pro plan, 150 proposals per month. Polar acts as Merchant of Record, handling tax for all jurisdictions.
  • Customer portal — manage subscription, payment method, and view past invoices.
  • Plan upgrade UI — auto-polls /api/billing/check-plan after checkout starts so the UI flips to Pro within seconds of the webhook landing.
  • Cancellation email — confirmation when subscription downgrades to Free.
OTHER
  • Plan badge (Pro / Free) shown in every screen header.
  • Switched from SMTP to Mailtrap HTTPS Send API (Railway blocks outbound TCP to SMTP servers on every port).
