What changed and when, across this site and the tagged tool releases. Dates are Australian Eastern time.
Site
| Date | Change |
|---|---|
| 16 October 2026 | robots.txt now allows the GPTBot, ClaudeBot and Applebot-Extended training crawlers, so OpenAI, Anthropic and Apple can include the site in model training as Common Crawl and Bytespider already could. Amazonbot, cohere-ai, Diffbot, FacebookBot and meta-externalagent stay blocked, and the Privacy page describes the change. |
| 13 October 2026 | The ATO benchmarks, company tax and franking, construction WIP, Xero trial balance and subcontract ledger pages name the releases published on 12 October. The five tool releases need Python 3.11 or later and change no calculated result; Australian Accounting Skills v0.3.2 adds a BAS transaction GST coding review, and v0.3.1 stays the recommended skills release. |
| 7 October 2026 | Breadcrumbs, contents labels and the small labels in registers and fact lists are set in sentence case at normal letter spacing instead of spaced capitals. |
| 7 October 2026 | A wrapped title link no longer covers part of the line above when hovered, and Copy buttons sit below their code instead of over it. Table captions wrap to a phone screen, header links keep their whole focus outline, printed code wraps to the page, the cash forecast shows six-figure weekly amounts on the narrowest phones and the Coal LSL result images no longer crop their figures. |
| 7 October 2026 | When a business calculator flags a field, the field beside it stays where it was, and the message takes its own line below that row. |
| 5 October 2026 | Wrapped tool and rate titles keep their underline clear of the next line, and on phones the changelog dates wrap so each change has room. Contact and Evaluations keep the usual gap below the page header, and figures in the cash flow comparison tables line up on the right. |
| 5 October 2026 | Australian Accounting Skills v0.3.1 is the recommended skills release: the Adopt route, the subcontract ledger page, the agent skills manifest and llms.txt move from the 63 workflows of v0.3.0 to the 65 of v0.3.1, which adds client acceptance and working holiday maker workflows. Of its 76 validation cards, 72 have confirmed results from a whole-card model run. |
| 5 October 2026 | Calculator results show each figure on its own row, beside the inputs on wide screens. Links have a thicker underline, buttons and table headers use the body typeface and touch tablets get 44px link targets. Below about 900px wide the homepage chart spans the page. |
| 4 October 2026 | Each business calculator offers Print working once it shows a result, and a printed calculator ends with blank Reviewer and Review date lines. |
| 4 October 2026 | Printed pages keep the footer’s advice boundary and ABN line. Lead notes, short answers, code and filled buttons now print in black, where some had printed pale grey or white on white. |
| 4 October 2026 | The calculator pages explain how to check that figures stay in the browser: disconnect from the internet once the page has loaded, then calculate. |
| 1 October 2026 | The MCP guide names published release 0.2.12, which moves Payday Super to checker 0.1.9 and Division 7A review to 0.1.6 without changing tool behaviour. The Payday Super quick trial now uses checker 0.1.9, which gives the same result, and the trust distribution, construction WIP, workpaper review gate and Xero trial balance pages name the releases published on 30 September. |
| 30 September 2026 | The homepage names its author and explains its demo when JavaScript is off. |
| 30 September 2026 | The Coal LSL calculator’s month check reads ‘Enter July 2023 or later.’ for an earlier month, where it had shown ‘Enter NaN or more.’ |
| 30 September 2026 | The Privacy page describes the report-only security header Cloudflare adds to some page loads, drops a sentence about verification code Cloudflare no longer delivers and adds an Accessibility section. |
| 30 September 2026 | The Evidence page gives merge dates in Australian Eastern time and lists security policies and test results in one table. The three evaluations and the Limitations page point to the current releases. |
| 30 September 2026 | Negative amounts stay on one line on narrow screens, secondary links are at least 24 pixels tall, related rate pages link to each other and feed titles end on a whole word. |
| 29 September 2026 | The Evidence page links the supplier information each component that works with an AI assistant publishes for a firm’s AI register and risk assessment, and says how it relates to ISO/IEC 42001, making no claim of certification, approval or conformity. |
| 29 September 2026 | Australian Accounting Skills v0.3.0 is the recommended skills release: the Adopt route, the subcontract ledger page, the agent skills manifest and llms.txt move from the 19 workflows of v0.2.1 to the 63 of v0.3.0, whose 70 validation cards have confirmed results from a whole-card model run. |
| 29 September 2026 | The MCP guide names published release 0.2.11, which adds a study and training support loan repayment worksheet, ATO rulings search and benchmark ranges from the ATO’s industry pages, while retaining the v0.2.8 worked example. The ATO benchmarks page names ato-benchmark-compare 0.1.11, which compares labour, rent and motor vehicle expenses with the ranges on the ATO’s industry pages. |
| 28 September 2026 | On eight pages, 18 wide tables show every column again on screens about 1065px wide or wider; since the reading measure narrowed on 26 September they had scrolled sideways even on wide screens. The Ozzit page lists all 138 named formulas with their released signatures, by module. The cash flow chart is re-exported in Public Sans, and the homepage Coal LSL inputs line up on phones. |
| 28 September 2026 | The Evidence page lists nine more merged upstream pull requests in six entries: two for PyXero, three for Odoo Community Association modules, and one each for ERPNext, ERPNext Australian Localisation, LedgerSMB and requests-cache. Merge states were read on 28 September 2026. |
| 27 September 2026 | Tool pages name the releases published by 27 September 2026 with the date checked, and the Payday Super quick trial moves to checker 0.1.8 with the same result. Calculators show negative amounts with a minus sign, round the required hourly rate up to the next cent and fit the 13-week forecast inputs on a phone. Every sitemap date now matches its page, and the changelog dates are row headers. |
| 27 September 2026 | The trust distribution page pins its worked example to solomons-sword 0.1.9, rerun on 27 September 2026 with unchanged figures. It now says the tool refuses trust capital gains and franked dividends whether or not they are streamed, as 0.1.9 does. |
| 26 September 2026 | The trust distribution, company tax and construction WIP pages now pin their worked examples to the current releases, solomons-sword 0.1.8, the-exchequer-tally 0.1.7 and the-wip-tally 0.1.2, each rerun on 26 September 2026 with unchanged figures. The trust example states residency with --resident-during-year, which 0.1.8 requires. The Payday Super quick trial moves from checker 0.1.5 to 0.1.7 with the same result. |
| 26 September 2026 | A live check of every page led to these fixes: calculators and question topics open on their inputs and questions, the phone header scrolls away with the page, reading lines are shorter, standalone links are 44px tall on phones, the cash flow example’s tables fit a phone and each evaluation opens with its result. The review gate keeps one name, page dates read in sentence case, apostrophes are typographic and the investments topic is renamed Investments and NSW. |
| 25 September 2026 | The MCP guide names published release 0.2.9 and its two added worksheets, while retaining the v0.2.8 worked example. The release freshness check accepts historical entries when the current release is also listed. |
| 25 September 2026 | The Evidence page adds a third accepted upstream change: XeroAPI merged a fix to its command-line tool that had swapped the balance sheet and profit and loss --standard-layout and --payments-only flags. Merge states were read again on 25 September 2026. |
| 24 September 2026 | The Australian tax tools for AI agents page now documents MCP release 0.2.8, which ranks local legislation search results best first and reads provisions longer than 12,000 characters in parts; engine pins are unchanged. |
| 24 September 2026 | Copy edit across the site: no serial comma, 'fictional' in place of 'fabricated', NSW in place of New South Wales, Evidence in the first person, minus signs for negative amounts and plainer sentences on Home, About, Evaluations, Privacy and Payday Super. |
| 24 September 2026 | Each of the 100 accounting questions is now a heading, and 28 answers open with a figure checked on 24 September 2026 at the ATO, Revenue NSW or Coal LSL. Question 10 now covers the 1 July 2026 changes, question 99 covers the Coal LSL levy, and each topic page publishes FAQ structured data. |
| 24 September 2026 | The cash flow chart on the homepage and the cash flow example was re-exported from the workbook with larger text, plus a narrower version for phones, so its axis labels and callouts are readable at the size the page shows them. The figures are unchanged. |
| 24 September 2026 | Copy edit on Home, About, Tools and Evaluations: repeated disclaimers removed, homepage headings made parallel without full stops, and negative amounts and percentages written one way. |
| 24 September 2026 | The homepage drops a worked example that repeated a task row, lines its section headings up with the main heading, and shortens the note under the hero. The Human and Machine view switch moved into the header, so it no longer covers text while scrolling. |
| 24 September 2026 | The Australian tax tools for AI agents page now documents MCP release 0.2.7, which adds a Schedule 1 PAYG withholding worksheet for regular weekly, fortnightly and monthly pays from 1 July 2026, bringing the bounded tax worksheets to seven. |
| 22 September 2026 | The car limit page now explains which GST credits reduce the cost. Division 7A figures are qualified for companies with a 30 June year end, with guidance for substituted accounting periods. Workpaper Review Gate describes its released output safeguard. The machine index, tool source dates, financial year labels and Newcastle spelling were corrected, and generated text copies were refreshed. |
| 22 September 2026 | The homepage now leads with Open source tools for Australian accountants and gives clearer starting points for accounting tasks. Mobile links gained larger touch targets and layouts support enlarged text. Pure dark mode remains, with brighter homepage text, a smaller headline, sentence-case labels and simpler dividers. Unnecessary hyphens were removed across the site, stylesheet URLs were refreshed, and all five messaging preview cards were updated. |
| 20 September 2026 | Actions from the 20 September GEO audit: Evaluations joined the primary navigation; the Privacy page states which AI crawlers may fetch and cite and which training crawlers are disallowed; llm-tax-guardrails is labelled an external GitHub guide, not a site tool, on the refusals page and in the machine-readable index; the index review date moved to 20 September and lists the Atom feed, which the homepage now advertises. |
| 20 September 2026 | The 100 accounting questions moved to ten topic pages and the nine business calculators to one page each, with the old addresses kept as indexes. Three rates tables added: the maximum super contribution base, the car limit for depreciation, and the FBT rate and gross-up rates. The homepage scope strip and the Tools category links were removed, six page titles lost the site-name suffix, breadcrumbs reached every page, secondary text and form controls grew on small screens, and an Atom feed of this changelog was added. |
| 20 September 2026 | Actions from the 19 September site audits: the Coal LSL calculator now takes a reporting month on every branch, refuses months before July 2023 and exports the exact wage basis and period in its CSV; the Payday and ATO benchmark pages carry their matching-quality and missing-bucket warnings beside the download steps; installation routes are labelled released, pinned or development; the evaluation email copy, franking introduction, cents-per-kilometre and WIP scope notes, privacy wording, machine index super summary, README tool count and changelog caption were corrected; Ozzit joined the evaluation chooser. |
| 14 September 2026 | The six webfonts return to IBM’s unmodified Latin1 files, the response header notes separate the GitHub Pages origin from the Cloudflare edge, the cash forecast names the dates it accepts, and the Coal LSL page explains the incorporated base pay definition. |
| 11 September 2026 | Updated MCP capabilities and current release references, added verified trust and company tax examples, and widened the refusal tables for mobile reading. |
| 6 September 2026 | The Tools page gained a Related resources section holding the third-party libraries, official guidance, and primary sources from the separate index repository, which is now archived; the footer links there instead. |
| 4 September 2026 | Every link to a repository archived after the September 2026 consolidation now points at its maintained home in the monorepos, the 3 evaluations were rerun against the namespaced monorepo releases, and the site checks fail on any link that resolves to an archived repository. |
| 2 September 2026 | Copy edit across the tool, rate, and evaluation pages, About, Contact, and Evidence: duplicated paragraphs removed, stray adverbs and rhetorical contrasts cut, disclaimers and bylines put in the active voice, and the super guarantee page moved to the site’s per cent style. |
| 2 September 2026 | Font preloads and a Content Security Policy on every page, entry headings on the Rates and Evaluations hubs, a no-script notice on the Coal LSL calculator, a security.txt contact file, and repository tooling removed from the published origin. |
| 31 August 2026 | Engage parked. The site remains a personal open source tool index, not a practice, and is not accepting professional engagements through this site. |
| 30 August 2026 | Navigation, adoption, and accessibility refinements across the register, with contact and changelog pages added. |
| 30 August 2026 | Coal LSL calculator month validation and print recalculation fixes, and the split 2013-14 super guarantee history row. |
| 29 August 2026 | Adoption-first homepage, the Tools, Rates, and Evaluations hubs, contextual share cards, and calculator print and CSV improvements. |
| 28 August 2026 | True-black register redesign, self-hosted IBM Plex subsets, and the register-seal site icon. |

Each release links its tagged source. The evaluations record which releases were tested against fictional inputs, and the evidence register records identity, source and release assurance.
