What's new on Absolutool
This page lists the substantive additions, improvements and bug fixes the site has shipped since launch. Updates land on the live site whenever they're ready (Absolutool deploys on every commit), and the entries below are grouped by month for easier scanning. Each line carries a tag indicating the type of change: New for a tool or feature that didn't exist before, Improve for a meaningful upgrade to something that already existed, and Fix for a bug correction. Smaller routine work (typo fixes, copy edits, dependency bumps, infrastructure refactors) is not listed here; for the complete change history, the GitHub repository commit log is the canonical record.
If you've recently received a bug-report reply pointing at a fix on this page, or if you want to confirm a feature you requested has shipped, this is the right place to check. The site doesn't email update notifications.
