Changelog

DocVault version history

Version 1.4.2

Released: 9 April 2026

Admin list improvements and hook fix.

  • Added a file type filter dropdown to the admin document list — select PDF, DOCX, or any other type to filter the list instantly
  • Fixed clearing the expiry date field now correctly fires the internal hook, so Pro audit log and email notifications record both set and cleared transitions

Released: 8 April 2026

Document expiry dates and access-control fixes.

Version 1.4.0

Released: 7 April 2026

Version 1.3.9

Released: 3 April 2026

Download button styling fix.

Version 1.3.8

Released: 30 March 2026

Bug fixes for drag-and-drop file upload.

Released: 16 March 2026
