We rolled out over 10,000 updates earlier this week. We’re now tracking down any loose ends that we may have missed. If you come across a bug, please let us know ([email protected] or on twitter @dochub)

Today we’re excited to release DocHub version 5! We’ve been working on this release for nearly an entire year, making it the largest single update we’ve ever deployed. This update includes:

Huge Frontend Code Update - We rewrote everything using typescript. We updated frameworks and migrated components (including making a huge shift to Ember Octane). These updates will allow us to rapidly develop future updates much more rapidly and with fewer errors.

UI Updated with Tailwind - Our components now make things look prettier, work more reliably and load faster. We are migrating away from Bootstrap and jQuery and once we’ve 100% wrapped up with the migration, we’ll see an even bigger performance improvement.

Many Minor Updates - This update includes 10,000 commits updating 5,000 files and 100,000 lines of code. There are lots of minor improvements and fixes.

DocHub v4.1 updates include: * Improved sign request interface * Decluttered interface keeps things clean and intuitive * Template workflow smoothed out as well * Improved email inputs * Email inputs that support multiple emails easy parse any pasted email list you throw at it * You can double click on a tagged email object to edit the email address * Improved support for sending a sign request to a user with multiple emails connected to their DocHub * Subscription migration improved for upgrading form a personal DocHub Pro plan to an organization * We’ve improved our backend deployment system to allow seamless zero-downtime deployments while supporting high traffic volume * Security fixes and framework updates * We added a couple of options to improve public or shared template workflows. These settings are currently located within the edit section of the permissions dialog. When users fill a copy of your template: * Disable annotations – you can disable annotations and restrict document completion to exclusively form fields * Disable eSignature agreement and simply workflow – if you don’t need users to complete the eSignature agreement workflow, then you can simplify their workflow by disabling it.

Although our release notes have been somewhat absent so far this year, we’ve been working harder than ever! We’ve patched bugs, tightened security, overhauled servers, updated frameworks, redesigned backend processes and much more. As a testament to the efficacy of our updates, we’re now smashing past DocHub’s previous traffic records; there are nearly 10,000 active users at this instant, all happily signing and editing PDFs.

Since our last release note, we’ve merged 250 pull requests and resolved as many issues. Here are a few of the highlights.
