# Welcome to the Appcharge Changelog

The changelog provides a detailed log of all updates and improvements across our platform. Stay informed on the latest changes to our products, ensuring you have the most up-to-date information to optimize your integration with Appcharge.

<Update label="July 8, 2026" description="Feature">
  ## Group Blocks

  We've added the [Group Blocks feature](/guides/webstore/design/template-studio/template-editor/customize-your-web-store-layout-using-blocks#group-blocks) which allows you to combine multiple eligible Blocks into one visual group so their badges appear side by side in the web store.
</Update>

<Update label="June 18, 2026" description="Feature">
  ## Reward Calendar Offers

  We've added the [Reward Calendar](/../../guides/webstore/offers/reward-calendars/about-reward-calendars), a 7-day calendar popup offer that shows players a week's worth of upcoming rewards and lets them collect the current day's reward.

  You can configure up to 10 weeks of rewards and customize the calendar design, including badges, and reward tiles.

  Learn how to [create and manage a Reward Calendar](/../../guides/webstore/offers/reward-calendars/create-and-manage-a-reward-calendar).
</Update>

<Update label="June 7, 2026" description="Announcement">
  ## Progress Bar Mission Configuration Updates

  We've changed how live updates to [Progress Bar mission configuration](/../../guides/webstore/offers/progress-bars/about-progress-bars#update-mission-configuration) affect players. Appcharge no longer recalculates or redistributes player progress when you update required points or the total number of missions.

  For active missions, the point requirement is locked as soon as the player sees the mission. If you later update the point requirement for that same mission, the player continues using the original requirement they saw. Only missions the player hasn’t yet reached use the updated configuration.

  If you reduce the total number of missions so that there are fewer missions than the player's current position, the player continues their current mission as the final mission in the Progress Bar. Players don't receive rewards for missions that were removed.
</Update>

<Update label="May 31, 2026" description="Announcement">
  ## Payment Links SDK Updates

  We've released new versions of the Payment Links SDK. See each platform's changelog for the full release notes:

  ## Game Redirect Login Desktop Behavior

  Publishers using [Game Redirect Login](/../../guides/webstore/player-authentication/game-redirect-login/about-game-redirect-login) can now optionally redirect players logging into the web store on desktop directly to the game deeplink, instead of displaying a QR code for them to scan with their phone to open the game.
</Update>

<Update label="May 24, 2026" description="Feature">
  ## Daily Bonuses and Triggered Popups

  The **Popups** offer category previously included Daily Bonuses and Post Purchase Popups. It has been restructured as follows:

  * **[Daily Bonuses](/../../guides/webstore/offers/daily-bonuses/about-daily-bonuses)** are now a standalone category in the Publisher Dashboard.
  * The **Popups** category is now called **Triggered Popups**. Post Purchase Popup offers continue to be available under this category.
  * We've added [Store Refresh Popups](/../../guides/webstore/offers/triggered-popups/about-triggered-popups#store-refresh-popups), a new Triggered Popup offer type that appears when the web store refreshes, such as after player login, browser refresh, or an explicit store reload.

</Update>

<Update label="May 19, 2026" description="Announcement">
  ## External Image URL Handling

  External image URLs are now saved and used as-is across the Assets Library, Offer Components, and the Personalize Web Store Callback. Appcharge no longer downloads, copies, uploads, or hosts images provided by URL. If you use an external image URL, host the image on your own infrastructure and keep it available at the provided URL.

  When possible, we recommend uploading image files instead of using external URLs. Appcharge hosts uploaded files on its CDN.
</Update>

<Update label="April 26, 2026" description="Announcement">
  ## Supported PayPal Currencies

  We've added a new [Supported PayPal Currencies](/../../merchant-of-record/finance/supported-paypal-currencies) reference page listing all currencies for which PayPal is available as a payment option in the Appcharge checkout.

  ## New Developer Settings Tab in Publisher Dashboard

From this tab, you can manage your project identity, credentials, callbacks, and webhooks.

  You can also test callbacks and webhooks directly from the dashboard before going live. Testing sends a simulated Appcharge request or event to your endpoint so you can verify delivery and response handling.

  The **Developer Settings** tab is located in the **Settings** page of the sidebar menu and replaces the **Company** and **Integration** tabs that were previously available there.

  Any existing configuration previously set in the **Company** and **Integration** tabs has been automatically carried over to the new **Developer Settings** tab.

  We've reorganized the Frontend SDK documentation to improve consistency and ease of use:

  * **Unified platform documentation**: All supported platforms (React, Angular, Vue 2, Vue 3, and JavaScript) are now consolidated into single articles with platform-specific code examples shown in tabs, making it easier to find and compare implementation details across platforms.
  * **Updated platform version requirements**: Documentation has been updated to reflect the latest supported platform versions for each SDK.
