Performance, Stability & Security

Search ordering – Resolved intermittent issues affecting the search ordering workflow, for a smoother experience when placing property search orders.

Security – Applied a number of dependency and application security updates, including strengthened HTTP security headers across the platform.


Bug fixes

This release also includes a number of targeted fixes:

  • Instruct Quote email link – Clients clicking 'Instruct Quote' in their quote summary email are now taken to the correct landing page instead of an access denied error.

  • Quote summary transactions – Transaction details now display correctly on the Quotes tab.

  • Quote property option labels – Tenure and mortgage option labels on the property details step now display correctly.

  • Chasing / overdue searches – Fixed an issue where certain searches weren't being picked up for automatic chasing, so they now appear and are chased as expected.

  • Client 'My Information' page – Clients can now save their details after completing the initial information step; if information is missing or invalid, a clear message explains what needs correcting.

  • New document types – Resolved an issue where document categories weren't available when creating a new document type, preventing it from being added.

  • Letter Library settings – Restored the missing Save and Cancel buttons on the Letter Library settings screen (Settings → Matter settings → Letter library).

  • EPC invoicing – Floor plan charges are no longer included on the invoice when a floor plan wasn't used.
