    Added of version 1.12.0

    • A verification page shows where an account stands in four steps, lets you resend the confirmation link, and accepts a photo or PDF of your bar card to speed things up; it updates by itself the moment a person verifies you
    • Registration explains in three short steps how verification works and what you can use while you wait, and keeps you signed in afterwards instead of sending you back to the sign-in page
    • A lawyer whose e-mail address is in the official directory of lawyers is verified automatically as soon as they open the confirmation link; every other registration is checked by a person
    • Choosing the type of a mission is a short guided path: delegate, collaborate or subcontract, then the act itself; a non-judicial mission goes straight to its general information
    • The platform's name is written in the reader's script, with the same name in the other script beneath it, beside the Algerian flag
    • The administration marks the accounts that were verified through the directory, so a person can still look at them

    Changed of version 1.12.0

    • Until an account is verified it can open only its profile, settings, notifications and the verification page; missions, messages, the network and the tools open once it is
    • Notifications and e-mails about verification now open the verification page
    • The earlier choice is shown as a small tag on every screen of the guided path, and the step counter follows the path you take

    • The contact addresses on the site, in the FAQ, the code of conduct and the privacy policy now use the platform's own domain
    • The AI features are less likely to be unavailable at busy times

    Fixed of version 1.12.0

    • The language button in the top bar and the password buttons on the sign-up form are easier to read and are announced properly by screen readers

    Security of version 1.12.0

    • Accounts that are not yet verified can no longer publish, apply, message or take part in the exchanges between members, on the web or in the mobile app
  2. v1.11.0Minor release

    A faster mission form: one screen to choose, five steps, buttons always in reach

    Creating a mission takes fewer taps: the type is chosen on a single screen, the form has five steps instead of seven, its buttons stay at the foot of the page, and a hearing delegated from the calendar arrives already filled in.

    Highlights of version 1.11.0

    • Choosing the type of a mission is one screen and one press
    • The mission form has five steps instead of seven
    • A hearing delegated from the calendar opens the form already filled in

    Show all changes · 14

    Added of version 1.11.0

    • The type of a mission is chosen on one screen that shows delegating a procedure, collaborating and subcontracting together with the non-judicial mission; pressing a choice takes you straight to the next step

    • The assistant button now moves out of the way of the form's buttons instead of sitting on top of them

    Changed of version 1.11.0

    • The mission form has five steps instead of seven: documents now sit at the end of the confidential information, and visibility sits beside the fees
    • Moving to another step of the form takes you to its top and puts the keyboard on its title
    • Gold buttons across the app now carry dark text, which is much easier to read than white on gold

    Fixed of version 1.11.0

    • The « Browse files » button when adding documents to a mission now uploads the files you choose; before, only dragging them in worked
    • On a phone, a refused Next on the fees step now takes you to the reason instead of doing nothing visible
    • Moving through the form with the keyboard no longer scrolls the page to the end when you reach the buttons
    • On a phone, the bar of steps follows you to the step you are on
    • In Arabic, the visibility choices show their selection mark on the correct side, no longer on top of the icon

    • Document research writes its answers in about a minute instead of several, and writes them in full more often than before

    Fixed of version 1.10.0

    • Loading the rest of a long list of documents found by a limited search no longer brings in documents from outside the folders you chose
    • A document kept in two folders is shown at its copy inside the folders you chose, not at the one you left out
    • The « +N » counters beside folder names read correctly in Arabic
  4. v1.9.0Minor release

    Search inside the folders you choose, and a clearer mission form

    Show all changes · 23

    Added of version 1.9.0

    • When nothing in the chosen folders can be searched yet, the answer says why and offers to search the whole corpus instead
    • A follow-up question keeps searching where the conversation has been searching, and re-running a question asks it in the same place
    • Mission details are split into general information, which colleagues read, and confidential information, which only the people involved see
    • Twenty-five specialized commercial tribunals in the court directory, with the wilayas each one covers; choosing a court also offers the tribunal that covers your wilaya
    • A preview on the mission page of how a mission would be sent to ManagCase, the case-management program; it is a demonstration and sends nothing
    • Notifications about missions, applications and payments are written in your own language, on screen, by push and by e-mail

    Changed of version 1.9.0

    • Judicial missions are grouped as delegating, collaborating or subcontracting, and the open-ended generic types are retired
    • The platform no longer suggests a fee for a mission type; the amount is yours to set
    • Several section names in Arabic now follow the wording chosen in the lawyers' own review

    Fixed of version 1.9.0

    • Publishing a mission no longer fails with a message about two missions being published at the same time
    • Applying to a mission that states no fee no longer fills in a fee of zero for you
    • On a phone, every mission tab can be reached, long names no longer push the page sideways, and the chat and the search fit the screen
    • A billing problem with the AI service is now reported as the service being unavailable, instead of as a broken form
    • Western Sahara is drawn as a country of its own, with its own name, on every map
    • Document research no longer fails when a matching document is very long, and the check of an answer against its sources no longer comes back empty
    • A scanned document with a photograph on its first page no longer holds up the reading of the pages that follow
    • Editing one detail of a court in the administration no longer erases its Arabic name, phone number or e-mail

    Security of version 1.9.0

  5. v1.8.0Minor release

    A shorter mission form, fees you can revisit, and court names in Arabic

    Show all changes · 16

    • When a fee is not right, you can ask the candidate to reconsider it without rejecting them; they can answer with a new amount up to three times and keep their place in the queue
    • Both sides are told in their own language when a fee is declined or revised, and every amount proposed is kept on the application
    • The section or chamber of a case is chosen from the list of the court you selected instead of being typed
    • The official Arabic name of 328 courts, shown in lists, the court directory, the calendar and the map
    • Searching for a court finds it by its Arabic or its French name, in any word order
    • A handle on the edge of the side menu collapses it, and Ctrl or Cmd with B does the same from the keyboard

    Changed of version 1.8.0

    • The court and the case details are now one step, so the mission form has seven steps for every type of intervention
    • The form says Jurisdiction instead of Court, since the bench may be a court of appeal, the Council of State or an administrative court
    • The research mission type is no longer offered: research is one of the choices of a professional mission
    • Several Arabic labels are corrected, among them the word for standing in at a hearing, document collection and the lawyer's clerk

    Fixed of version 1.8.0

    • Mission types that are retired or not yet open could still be published through a direct request

    Security of version 1.8.0

    • A candidate's proposed fee can only be changed through the revision process, so the limit on revisions and the history of amounts always hold
  6. v1.7.0Minor release

    Availability that is respected, clearer report reviews, and a changelog

    Proposing a mission to a colleague now follows what they announced, reviewing a report lets you say exactly what you need, and sent messages can be corrected.

    Show all changes · 14

    Added of version 1.7.0

    • A public changelog with a version number for every release
    • Inviting a colleague from their availability now follows what they announced: their area and court, their dates, the kinds of work they offered and how they attend
    • A mission that falls outside a colleague's announced availability is refused with the reason, or can be proposed to them without being tied to it
    • Asking for a modification of a report now takes a message and what you expect (changes, information, missing documents), and the colleague is notified and sees it on their report
    • The attachments that came with a report are listed under it with a count, and the review step says how many there are
    • You can correct a message you sent within an hour, and the other person sees that it was edited

    Fixed of version 1.6.0

How we number releases

We follow Semantic Versioning. Every release gets a version of the form MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH, and the number is decided by the biggest thing the release contains.

Major2.0.0
Something you must act on, or something that is gone.
Minor1.8.0
There is more, or something works differently. Nothing you rely on stops working.
Patch1.7.1
Something was wrong and now is not. No new behaviour.

Releases up to 1.6.0 were numbered after the fact, from our deployment history, when this page was introduced. Every release since is numbered on the day it goes live.
