AffiliateTracking changelog

The AffiliateTracking changelog, in plain English. What each release added, what it fixed, and the bugs we found in our own code along the way. Cloud gets every release first. Self-host gets the same code as a download.

Latest download: v0.3.0Released 28 Sep 2026Updates included for 12 months

  1. NextOn cloud now, self-host next release

    Connect your site with one script

    Added
    • The tracking script, t.js. One tag on your site keeps the affiliate's token and passes it to Stripe Payment Links, the Pricing Table and the Buy Button.
    • Old links from Rewardful, FirstPromoter, Tolt and Tapfiliate keep working through the script's data-param setting.
    • Stripe subscriptions link the customer at checkout, so trials, first invoices and renewals all credit the right affiliate.
    • Pick which Stripe products earn commission, for accounts that sell more than one thing.
    • A read-only live demo mode with a fictional program and 90 days of data.
    Fixed
    • Re-running an import no longer gives affiliates new referral codes.
    • The coupon hijack rule now fires on real sales. Before, billing events never passed it the coupon.
    • doctor no longer reports a false mismatch after a payout or refund.
    • Undoing an import now only removes what that import created.
  2. v0.3.0

    Hardening before launch

    Fixed
    • Money bugs in commissions, the ledger and payouts, found in a full review.
    • Billing fixes for Stripe, Paddle, Lemon Squeezy and Chargebee: paid status checks, delayed payments, refunds worked out on the sale amount.
    • Security fixes across billing webhooks, fraud rules, postback targets and IP hashing.
    • Server and database guards, and a sturdier release pipeline.
    Changed
    • A commercial license replaces MIT. Buying self-host now emails your license key and a private download within minutes.
  3. v0.2.11

    Usage-based commissions release on time

    Fixed
    • Commissions from metered usage never matured, so they were never paid. They now mature like any other sale, and upgrading re-dates the stuck ones automatically.
    • A race in multi-level pairing on Postgres that could report a payout that never happened.
  4. v0.2.10

    Safer restores

    Fixed
    • Two ways restore could load the wrong data or lose the rollback copy. Both found in our own restore drill.
    • Backups and restores now flush to disk properly, so a power cut mid-restore can't leave an empty database.
  5. v0.2.5 to v0.2.922 to 24 Sep 2026

    Downloads that match your machine

    Fixed
    • Older downloads for Mac, Windows and Linux on ARM were Linux builds under the wrong name. v0.2.7 is the first release with a checked build for each system.
    • Crash safety on the money path: three places where a failed step could leave a commission's status out of step with the books.
  6. v0.2.4

    Five billing tools

    Added
    • Recurly and Lemon Squeezy, joining Stripe, Paddle and Chargebee.
    Fixed
    • Sales with no affiliate made Paddle and Chargebee retry their webhook forever. They're now accepted and logged.
    • Erasing an affiliate's data now clears every place their details appeared.
  7. v0.2.3

    Fraud rules 7 to 12, privacy and payouts

    Added
    • Six more fraud rules, for 12 in all, and fraud checks on every sale before it's credited.
    • GDPR export and erase, and IP trimming before hashing.
    • Tax forms that pause an affiliate's payout until they're in, with a note in their portal.
    • Signed postbacks, per-product rates and volume tiers.
    • Payout approval, restore, click retention and an audit log.
    • Portal branding and an embeddable widget.
  8. v0.2.0September 2026

    Imports and deeper stats

    Added
    • Import from other tools by CSV, with a dry run and undo.
    • Chargebee, fraud rules 5 and 6, and stats by source, subid and placement.
    • The MCP server, and a load test: 10,844 link clicks a second with zero errors.
  9. v0.1.0

    The first release

    Added
    • A double-entry ledger with 15 tested rules, including that every journal sums to zero.
    • Commissions, lifetime customers, refunds and maturation.
    • Tracking links, Stripe and Paddle, the first fraud rules, payouts and the affiliate portal.
    • The API with scoped keys, and the doctor, backup and keygen commands.
