Release Notes v8.5

Release Date: March 19, 2026 Version: 8.5

Version 8.5 brings a massive visual refresh to the Bread & Butter dashboard, completely revamped billing through Stripe, powerful new AI enrichment capabilities for personal email addresses, and highly requested customization options for WordPress. Here is everything new, improved, and fixed in this release.

Web App

New Features & Enhancements

  • Expandable User Profile Panel: When you click on a user tile on the Dashboard, you will now see a split view. You can easily toggle between the user's page journey and their Nurture delivery slip, with comprehensive AI profile information displayed cleanly on the right.
  • New Dashboard Layout & Analytics Page: We have reorganized the dashboard for a cleaner experience. The map has been moved below the filters, and the "App Insights" charts have been relocated to their own dedicated Insights section to be released in v8.6 later this month.
  • Redesigned Billing & Plans Experience: We have fully migrated to Stripe Checkout for a more seamless and secure billing experience. You can now easily view your next billing date, update payment methods, and compare plans directly from the redesigned Accounts page.
  • Dynamic Report Empty States & Pro-Tips: We’ve updated the helper text and "empty state" messages across the Dashboard and Reports pages. Each tab (Focused, Qualified Leads, Customers, All Traffic) now features custom explanations to help your team understand exactly what data they are looking at.
  • Advanced "Nurture" Tab Filtering: The Nurture page now utilizes the same top-level tabs as your Dashboard and Reports (Focused, Qualified Leads, Customers, All Traffic), allowing you to quickly isolate the leads you want to engage.
  • Smarter "Send Test Email" Logic: Sending a test Nurture email will now deliver the test to the email address you are currently logged in with, rather than the address configured to send the campaign, preventing confusion. (If you haven't set up an email provider yet, clicking this will now prompt the setup dialog).

UI & UX Improvements

  • Global UI Modernization: The entire web app has received a visual facelift. You will notice a cleaner background color, updated drop shadows, centralized page content for wider screens, and a sleek new vertical left-hand navigation menu.
  • Tab Label Updates: To better reflect your data, the "Conversions" tab is now Qualified Leads, and "All Visitors" is now All Traffic.
  • Streamlined Event Badges: We’ve reduced clutter in the user journey view. If a visitor triggers multiple authentication events on a single page, we now only show the highest-value badge (Profile Verified > Email Captured > Signed In).
  • Prioritized Custom Events: In the Events dropdown, your Custom Events are now grouped at the top of the list so they are easier to access, separated from System Events by a divider.
  • Monochrome Maps: The visitor location map has been updated to a subdued, monochrome style to better match the dashboard's modern aesthetic.
  • Clearer Email Validation Statuses: Email addresses in the user tile now feature clearer labels to indicate their status: Verified, Validated, Bad Email, or Not Validated (with helpful hover text explaining each).
  • Applebot Recognition: Similar to our custom UI for Googlebot, Applebot traffic is now clearly identified with an Apple icon and labeled as "Applebot in Mothership" rather than an anonymous visitor.
  • Top 5 Expandable Lists: For specific sources, campaigns, and keywords in your reports, we now display the top 5 results by default to save space, with a handy +    icon to expand and view the rest.

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed an issue where the Nurture send authorization could get stuck in an endless loop.
  • Stopped the Reports page width from shifting slightly while data was loading.
  • Corrected an issue where navigating quickly away from the Nurture tab would forcibly pull you back once it finished loading.

API & Backend Core

New Features & Enhancements

  • AI Enrichment for Personal Emails: This is a massive upgrade to our AI research engine. If a user signs up with a generic email (like @gmail.com  ) but our AI discovers their employer, the system will now automatically run a full company data enrichment. Your Nurture emails can now reference their company name, news, and highlights, even if they didn't use a corporate address!
  • Disable AI Toggle: Administrators can now easily disable all cost-incurring AI actions (Summaries, Nurture generation, Profile research) via a master toggle in the Advanced Settings.
  • Domain Lock Security: To prevent account misuse, the primary authorized domain for an application can no longer be changed once the app has started receiving traffic.
  • Cost & Time Tracking by Task: The AI research pipeline has been broken down into specific task groups (LinkedIn lookup, Summary Generation, etc.) to provide vastly improved cost reporting and transparency in your Service Usage logs.
  • Most Important Event Tracking: The backend now accurately calculates and returns the "most important event" a user has ever triggered based on your custom event hierarchy.

Performance & Bug Fixes

  • Fixed a severe issue where the nightly cache-warming job would saturate the database and cause brief API freezes.
  • Resolved a bug where AI Journey Summaries were being generated for anonymous users but failing to save to their profiles.
  • Fixed an issue where the AI would attempt to generate a company summary for disposable/fake domains.

WordPress Plugin (WPP)

New Features & Enhancements

  • Custom Post Type Targeting: You can now specifically target Custom Post Types in the Bread & Butter page picker, allowing you to easily deploy widgets across specific content categories (like Portfolios or Recipes) without selecting pages individually.
  • Custom CSS Theme Editor: Advanced users can now directly edit the THEME.SCSS    file from within the WordPress plugin to perfectly match the conversion tools to their brand's stylesheet.
  • Custom Content Gate Success Text: You can now customize the success messages that display when a user unlocks a Classic or Preview Content Gate.
  • "Remember Close" Timer: We’ve exposed the option to hide the "Instant Lead Capture" widget for returning visitors. It is now set to hide for 24 hours by default if a user actively dismisses it.
  • Setup Screen Redesign: The "Not Set Up" state within the plugin has been redesigned with clearer copy, better setup steps, and direct links to preview the tools in action.

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed a known incompatibility issue where having Bread & Butter active would hide configuration fields within the third-party "Custom Post Type UI" plugin.

JavaScript Library (JSL) & Conversion Widgets

New Features & Enhancements

  • Mobile Toggle for "Continue With": You now have the option to completely disable the floating "Continue With" widget for mobile visitors while keeping it active for desktop traffic.
  • Smart Tool Hierarchy: If you have both the "Continue With" widget and the Newsletter Subscribe tool active on the same page, the "Continue With" prompt will automatically hide when the Newsletter pops up to prevent overwhelming the user.
  • Modern CSS Styling: The base JavaScript library has received a CSS update for smoother animations and a more modern look across all widgets.
  • Expanded Language Support: Dutch has been fully added to the locale files, and all missing translation strings across all supported languages have been updated.

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed a bug in the Universal Form Booster where users could type text into the underlying form fields while the social sign-in window was open.
  • Resolved a console error that occurred during initial JSL load in incognito windows.

Nurture and AI Agent

New Features & Enhancements

  • Smarter User Journey Summaries The AI that writes your User Journey Summaries has received a massive upgrade to focus on the big picture. Instead of just listing recent page views, the agent now analyzes a visitor's entire history across all sessions. It intelligently correlates their job title and profile data with the specific pages they viewed and heavily factors in your Custom Events. If a visitor has a Lead Score of eight or higher, the summary will explicitly highlight their deep engagement.
  • Cleaner Summary Formatting The agent no longer spits out exact page titles in brackets, avoids referencing your own website name redundantly, and never includes unsolicited advice on how to reach out. The result is a clean, professional, and highly actionable paragraph.
  • Condensed Company Insights To keep your delivery slip clean and easy to read, the AI now generates a condensed bulleted list with a maximum of five points for company summaries. The agent still uses the comprehensive long form data in the background to write your personalized emails, but your visual dashboard stays completely clutter free.

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed a backend syncing error that occasionally prevented freshly generated journey summaries from saving correctly to the user profile.
