# Release Notes 31.08 - 04.09.2026

This release covers everything we shipped between 31 August and 4 September 2026. Almost all of it went into the template editor, which is partway through a full redesign. This round brings round and cut corners on components, page navigation over the canvas, and a rebuilt set of sidebar controls. We also fixed a run of cases where the editor view and the rendered PDF disagreed with each other, including two long-standing text overflow bugs in rendering.

### Editor redesign and new capabilities

###### Round and cut corners
Components can have round or cut corners, and they now behave the same everywhere. The editor draws them the way the PDF renders them, so what you position on the canvas is what you get in the document, and text stays inside the shape rather than spilling past the corners. Both "Cut the text if it exceeds the component size" and "Reduce font size to fit the content" measure against the corner-adjusted area now, so long text inside a rounded component stops overflowing the border.

###### Page navigation over the canvas
There is now a page indicator and pager sitting over the canvas, so you can see which page you are on and move between pages without scrolling to find them. Preview is an action on the same control, and it switches back to the editor from there.

###### Rebuilt sidebar controls. 
The position, dimension and padding fields were plain text boxes. They now have number steppers you can click or drive with the keyboard, the X, Y, W and H inputs carry inline labels, and the padding row shows which side each value applies to instead of leaving you to guess from the order. We also updated the toggles and grouped the sidebar captions to match the rest of the redesign.

###### A tidier canvas and sidebar. 
Line components are drawn as lines rather than as rectangles, and we fixed the spacing in the properties panel and the data field list where content sat too close to a divider or the bottom edge.

###### Fewer controls that do nothing. 
The image component no longer offers text and vertical alignment in its top panel, since neither applies to an image, and the "None" border option is gone for lines, where it never made sense. We also cut back the dropdown component's top panel to the settings that actually change its output.

### Document Signing

###### Documents are sealed with a real organisation certificate
Signing now runs through a dedicated service, and it applies an organisation seal backed by a real certificate rather than the self-issued one we used while building the feature. The result is an Advanced Electronic Seal at the eIDAS AdES tier, written as a PAdES-B-LTA signature, which means the signature carries a trusted timestamp and the validation material needed to keep verifying long after signing. A signed document opens cleanly in a PDF reader and shows as trusted rather than raising a warning about an unknown issuer.

###### Signature verification
You can check the signatures on a PDF rather than taking them on trust. We read the signatures a document carries and report back what is there and whether the document validates, so you can confirm a document you received has not been altered since it was signed.

### Fixes

###### Template editor
* Notification messages rendered behind components instead of on top of them, so if a message appeared over a busy part of the canvas you had to scroll to an empty area to close it. Messages now sit above the canvas.
* The editor did not respect the curve of a component's background colour on round corners, even though the PDF rendered it correctly.
* Closing the data fields dropdown left the tab it belongs to hard to see. It is visible again.

###### Generation and rendering
* Text overflowed a table cell instead of wrapping when the cell content contained HTML formatting. Removing the formatting made it wrap correctly, which was a poor workaround. Formatted cell content now wraps like everything else.
* On a table that continues onto a second page, cell values were vertically misaligned on that second page once the border was set thicker.
* The chart component's "Border" setting changed the thickness of the line connecting the data points rather than the chart outline, and the other chart settings had no effect.
* Zoom in Preview did not follow the zoom control at the top of the viewer.
