Release notes

What changed in each version. The latest is always on the homepage; older installers are at the bottom of this page.

  • Invoices and statements now print names and addresses in any European alphabet — accented, Greek, Hebrew, Arabic and Cyrillic characters all render correctly. (Chinese, Japanese and Korean aren't covered yet.)
  • Recording a payment larger than the outstanding balance now asks you to confirm first.
  • Settings changes are now recorded in the Activity Log. Passwords and licence keys are never recorded.
  • Clearing the invoice number prefix now gives you plain numbers like 0001.
  • Improvements to invoicing and the Settings screen.
  • Routine security and dependency updates.
  • A new install now opens on a short setup screen — business details, currency and date format, invoice numbering, and email if you want it. You can skip it, and existing installs never see it.
  • Settings shows what's still unconfigured, with a link to each.
  • Paidlio won't email an invoice or statement until you've entered your business name.
  • Opening Paidlio while it's already running brings the existing window forward instead of starting a second copy.
  • The Settings tab called Company is now Business.
  • Tax labels (VAT, GST) now print on invoice PDFs alongside the rate.
  • Improvements to the invoice and recurring template editors.
  • Invoices past their due date now move to Overdue automatically. On first launch after updating you'll see a one-time tidy-up of statuses, each recorded in the Activity Log.
  • Voiding an invoice can now be undone with the new Unvoid button.
  • If Paidlio wasn't running when a billing period came due, every missed invoice is generated the next time you launch it, dated for its scheduled period.
  • Archiving a customer now pauses their recurring templates.
  • Backups capture a consistent snapshot, and restoring validates the file first and keeps your previous database as a safety net. Worth taking a fresh backup after updating.
  • The Windows installer now detects that Paidlio is still running and offers to close it.
  • Improvements to invoices, recurring billing, statements, PDFs and regional date handling.
  • Added the Pay Now link: paste a payment link from Stripe, PayPal, or your bank into Settings and every invoice PDF and email gets a one-click Pay Now button.
  • First release: customers, invoices, recurring billing, statements, custom PDFs, email sending via your own SMTP, activity log, scheduled backups. Windows and Linux.

The homepage always serves the current version. If you need an older installer (your licence works with every version):
