Today we have added a better translation manager. With this manager we are able to add new languages and change language strings quicker on out platform.

When both the season and episode value are '0' the episode table in the dashboard would not display the season. This had now been fixed.

Due to some changes the import function stopped working for some users. Today we have researched and fixed this issue.

In the episode table in the dashboard the total downloads was not displayed when there were only Spotify downloads. Today this has been fixed.

Based on feedback we have made some changes to the working of the draft function. For example: '0' is now a valid value for both season and episode.

For some users, under some circumstances, the Springs page in the dashboard displayed an error. With this fix we have solved the issue.

Our clients provided feedback and asked for a draft feature. Today the draft feature is released. With this feature clients are able to create a draft episode with only a title. Only for publishing all fields are required to fill.

Based on feedback from clients we have changed the breakpoint from where the artwork is displayed in the embedded player.

We used to create a waveform for every audio file. This was a heavy process to do and also had a bad perfomance while listening. Therfor we have decided to totally remove the generated waveforms. This will result in a random waveform for every player since this is much better performance wise.

Since customers with a yearly subscription typically need more time to pay the invoice (and we have a process in place to follow-up). We have totally removed the past_due check for all yearly subscriptions.

With the release of the new onboarding flow some users with inactive subscriptions where onboarded as a new user. With this fix we have solved this issue.

With the new dashboard some displaying troubles arrose in a statistic chart. With this fix we have solved the display issue.

Today we have done a major release containing the following updates:

1. Onboarding
The way new users start their Springcast journey has now changed. We have smoothed the process where you create an account and create your first podcast show.

2. Transcription
With this release it is possible (for clients with the correct subscription) to connect your Amberscript account to your Springcast account with an API key. With the API key in place you can send the audio file from Springcast to Amberscript and Amberscript will return the transcript. This transcript is editable in our dashboard and will be displayed in our players.

3. Player
The embedded player is completely rebuild to be more stable and perform better. One of the wishes from feedback from our clients has been honoured with the waveform now displayed on every screen width.

4. Dashboard
While most visitors will only see a more stylish dashboard, under the hood we have made a great deal of changes. The whole dashboard is now modular, therefor it is much easier for us to add changes in the future.

The total download includes the Spotify download count from now on in the episodes table in our dashboard.

With this update we save the playing progress of the embedded player for the user. If the user decides to stop listening or leaves the page with the player and later resume playing we now have remembered where the user has left.

From now on it is possible for users with a yearly subscription to also use the reset function.

Generating a Spring might take some minutes to complete. We have added an e-mail notification so you don't have to wait while your Spring is generated.

There appears to be an error in the formula that shows which part of an episode has been played. This is an extensive formula which takes some time to be properly adjusted. For now, we have therefore temporarily disabled this graph. The graph next to it shows the same data, only in percentages instead of absolute numbers. It thus gives almost the same information and is accurate.

Once a user deletes his or her account, all associated data (shows, episodes, subscriptions, files) are now instantly deleted as well.

Whenever your existing payment method is removed, you will be notified by e-mail from now on. Very convenient.

Applying the Audio Polish function sometimes takes some time. With this update, we have ensured that you will automatically receive an e-mail as soon as the Audio Polish has been performed. So you can continue your work in the meantime.

We take continuous measures to combat spam on our platform. With this update, we have made sure that creating an account is only possible if the request comes from a valid IP address.

We take continuous measures to combat spam on our platform. With this update, we have added more anti-spam measures to make sure that people do not subscribe via a bot.

A bug had crept into the display of the 'distribution listening times', this display was running one hour ahead as a result. This update fixes this problem and everything runs on time again.

In the table with members of a private podcast, it was only possible to send an invitation e-mail to the members on the first page. After this change, the invitation can again be sent to all members on the list.

We've made a small tweak to the dashboard that now displays episodes in better order.

We have made a change so that users with a Essential subscription will always see the 'dark mode' player.

From now on, external links placed on a podcast website will always open in a new window.

If an import of statistics from Spotify fails, it will be automatically restarted from now on.

With this update, we have improved the display of texts on the podcast website.

When using the registration form in the embedded player, sometimes something went wrong with forwarding to ActiveCampaign, Mailchimp, Mailerlite or Hubspot, for example. We have fixed this in this update.

With this update, it is now possible to send people an invitation by e-mail to listen to a private podcast episode. Previously, this could only be done by publishing a new episode and proved inconvenient.

As of this writing, we will keep track on this page of any changes made to our platform that may affect usage.
