Release Notes: Platform​

Version: 3.5.2
Date: May 17, 2026

This release dramatically expands the AEO/GEO Suite with new Agent Readiness, Citation Monitor, Site-Wide Audit, and Trend Analyzer reports, introduces a new Umbraco CMS connector, ships a reusable Python Transform library for custom content ingestion, and adds business hours configuration for Live Agent.

New Features​

  • AEO/GEO Suite Expansion: The GEO workspace now includes four new report types — Agent Readiness, Citation Monitor, Site-Wide Audit, and Trend Analyzer — alongside the existing Brand, Keyword, and URL Analysis reports. Together they form a comprehensive Answer Engine Optimization toolkit for measuring and improving how AI assistants reference your brand.
  • Umbraco CMS Connector: New Umbraco connector with portal configuration UI, content sync, and webhook-driven publish/unpublish event handling.
  • Python Transforms: New reusable Python Transform library and Transform tab in the Add URL flow, allowing users to apply custom Python transformations to ingested content for advanced processing.
  • Live Agent Business Hours: Configure operating hours for live agent availability so sessions can be gated outside of business hours with appropriate messaging.
  • Statement Collection: New statement collection replaces transaction-log-based reporting for cleaner, more reliable billing history and statement generation.

Enhancements​

  • Kentico Private Pages: The Kentico connector now supports private-page content, broadening the range of authenticated content that can be ingested.
  • Sitecore Unpublish Handling: The Sitecore connector now correctly processes page unpublish events so removed content is reflected accurately in the index.
  • Add URL Resilience: Add URL now handles a wider range of sites by detecting content-type from response headers and using a curl fallback when servers block default crawlers.
  • HTTPS Enforcement with Trusted Allow-List: HTTPS is enforced across ingestion, with an allow-list for trusted HTTP domains for legacy intranet sources.
  • Auto-Refresh Logs: New auto-refresh control on the logs view for real-time monitoring.
  • Organization Switching: Smoother organization switching for users with access to multiple accounts.
  • Billing UI Polish: Refreshed payment forms with corrected proration messaging when upgrading to a higher plan, and improved subscription usage bar alignment.
  • Navigation & Settings Polish: Standardized organization display in the left navigation, improved owner-less organization details, and clearer placeholder text throughout settings screens.

Bug Fixes​

  • Fixed organization switch issues for users with multi-account access.
  • Fixed account statement date handling and statement generation edge cases.
  • Fixed validation error placement, table header borders, and column tooltips for long text.
  • Strengthened SSRF protection with DNS rebinding hardening, expanded blocked IP ranges, and IPv6 parser fixes.
  • Added server-side organization membership validation on org-switching for defense in depth.
  • General stability and UI polish across connectors, billing, agents, and project management.

Patch 3.5.4​

Date: May 21, 2026

  • GEO/AEO Prospect Snapshot: New Prospect Snapshot page under GEO/AEO for partner organizations, enabling on-demand snapshot reports for prospective customers with a dedicated configuration dialog, history list, and report management.
  • Site-Wide Sweep Dialog Refresh: Reworked the GEO Site-Wide Quality Sweep generation dialog for clarity and consistency with the new Prospect Snapshot flow.
  • Contentstack Dynamic Content Models: The Contentstack connector now dynamically discovers all content types in the customer's stack instead of assuming fixed page / blog_post models. Each discovered type can be enabled individually with its own JSONata mapping and page URL template.
  • Contentstack Region Support: Added a Region setting to the Contentstack connector supporting US, EU, AU, Azure NA/EU, and GCP NA/EU regions for global customers.
  • Vibe Coding Timeout: Increased the Vibe Coding generation timeout from 8 to 12 minutes so longer-running generations complete reliably.
  • Fixed partner billing access to sub-organizations — partner super admins no longer see "Billing is hidden" when viewing their sub-orgs.
  • Improved Contentstack ingestion robustness so items missing a URL no longer crash the sync and per-item domain handling no longer leaks across items.

Release Notes: Web Controls​

Version: 3.13.1
Date: May 17, 2026

This release focuses on Live Agent maturity with business-hours gating and session recovery on page reload, introduces a contentTemplate prop for the container control, and delivers significant performance improvements — including dramatically faster load times in China, dynamic asset loading, and a leaner dependency footprint.

New Features​

  • Live Agent Business Hours Gate: Live agent sessions now respect configured business hours, with appropriate messaging shown to visitors outside of operating times.
  • Live Agent Session Recovery: Active live agent conversations now automatically reconnect after a page reload, so visitors don't lose their session when navigating.
  • contentTemplate Prop on <ai12z-container>: New contentTemplate prop enables richer custom content rendering within the container control.
  • HTML Question & Answer Rendering: The container control now supports HTML conversion for question and answer content via Showdown markdown rendering.

Enhancements​

  • Faster Load Times in China: Targeted performance improvements significantly reduce load times in China without requiring a VPN.
  • Dynamic Asset Loading: Javascript modules now load only when needed, reducing initial bundle size and time-to-first-render.
  • Lighter Dependency Footprint: Replaced moment.js with native country and timezone utilities, significantly reducing bundle size.
  • Dead-Code Cleanup: Removed legacy unused carousel, form, microphone, and list components for a leaner, faster-loading package.
  • HTML Compliance: Refactored component prop attributes for cleaner, standards-compliant HTML output.

Bug Fixes​

  • Fixed live agent disconnect message handling for clearer end-of-session feedback.
  • Fixed style and script rendering issues in the Knowledge Box control.
  • Fixed unhandled promise rejections when external scripts return 404.
  • Resolved a security issue where custom JavaScript URLs could be appended to the shadow DOM without validation.
  • General performance improvements and code cleanup across all web controls.
