LATEST
4 CHANGES
FEATURE
Multi-tech parallel inspection · run board
Live asset-grid coverage view for large jobs. Solves the merge-conflict problem when 3-4 techs work the same building. Includes per-asset claim state, unclaimed-device detection, and a boundary-dispute resolver.
FEATURE
NFPA 25 + NFPA 72 templates · live
Wet-pipe sprinkler quarterly and annual fire-alarm templates with specialized item types (gauge readings, water-flow trip tests, battery load tests, device-batch sampling).
IMPROVED
Audit log · public verify chain
Every signed inspection now has a SHA-256-backed verify URL. AHJ inspectors can re-verify the entire packet from the redtagitm.com/verify QR code on the cover sheet.
FIX
Offline queue · timestamp preservation
Captures made offline now preserve device-time across sync. Previously the server clock won, breaking the chain-of-custody by minutes.
v2026.05.10
FRI · MAY 10, 20262 CHANGES
FEATURE
Customer-portal magic link
Owners click an emailed link to land on a passwordless portal. 20-minute expiry, fresh link mailed on demand.
IMPROVED
AHJ packet ZIP · 40% smaller
HEIC photos now properly compressed in the packet. Same fidelity, fits more email gateways.
v2026.04.27
SAT · APR 27, 20263 CHANGES
BREAKING
Webhook signature scheme · v1 → v2
HMAC-SHA256 over the canonical payload (was SHA1). v1 sigs work through Jun 30; rotate before then. Migration guide in /changelog/migrations/v2.
SECURITY
Force 2FA for org admins
Admins (not techs) must enable 2FA within 30 days. Authenticator app or SMS. Backup codes provided.
FIX
Schedule pressure · timezone bug
Due-soon counts were calculating from UTC instead of org timezone. Resolved for all orgs.
v2026.04.04
THU · APR 4, 20262 CHANGES
FEATURE
AHJ direct-submit API · 14 jurisdictions
Submit packets directly to BFD, FDNY, LAFD, and 11 more. Eliminates the email handoff. Each AHJ's response surfaces in the audit log.
IMPROVED
Recurring rule preview · live calendar
Edit a rule and see the next-90-day calendar update side-by-side, plus a diff vs the current rule.
v2026.03.12
WED · MAR 12, 20262 CHANGES
FEATURE
INTERNAL ops report
Fourth audience for the audience-picker. Includes labor breakdown, COGS, margin, and internal-only notes the customer never sees.
FIX
Photo annotation tools
Draw arrows, circles, measurements on evidence photos in the field. Annotations attach to the deficiency, not the underlying photo (so the original stays sealed).
