Site changes and tagged tool releases for Ryan Duguid's open source Australian accounting tools. https://duguid.com.au/changelog/ 2026-10-16T00:00:00Z Ryan Duguid https://duguid.com.au/changelog/#entry-45928a4f9a82fd93 2026-10-16T00:00:00Z

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.

https://duguid.com.au/changelog/#entry-0b11392cf263e0ee 2026-10-13T00:00:00Z

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.

https://duguid.com.au/changelog/#entry-59036946afee5c67 2026-10-12T00:00:00Z

https://duguid.com.au/changelog/#entry-4a54869975a5da59 2026-10-07T00:00:00Z

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.

https://duguid.com.au/changelog/#entry-6312d2ef8366a267 2026-10-07T00:00:00Z

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.

https://duguid.com.au/changelog/#entry-a223370ae917ce76 2026-10-07T00:00:00Z

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.

https://duguid.com.au/changelog/#entry-550e215dcdafdecc 2026-10-05T00:00:00Z

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.

https://duguid.com.au/changelog/#entry-ef2112639dcfdfa6 2026-10-05T00:00:00Z

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.

https://duguid.com.au/changelog/#entry-cd758ad5cd7323c6 2026-10-05T00:00:00Z

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.

https://duguid.com.au/changelog/#entry-f99a7f8e3c37fcbd 2026-10-04T00:00:00Z

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.

https://duguid.com.au/changelog/#entry-c15f21866e28995b 2026-10-04T00:00:00Z

The calculator pages explain how to check that figures stay in the browser: disconnect from the internet once the page has loaded, then calculate.

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.

https://duguid.com.au/changelog/#entry-a65a685e1b208655 2026-10-01T00:00:00Z

https://duguid.com.au/changelog/#entry-6b90ddfe0fb8c741 2026-09-29T00:00:00Z

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.

https://duguid.com.au/changelog/#entry-f07ef0a61857e267 2026-09-29T00:00:00Z

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.

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.

https://duguid.com.au/changelog/#entry-62ee136393332c0d 2026-09-28T00:00:00Z

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.

https://duguid.com.au/changelog/#entry-4ba9b722cdd66fef 2026-09-27T00:00:00Z

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.

https://duguid.com.au/changelog/#entry-05d2f140dbbd059c 2026-09-27T00:00:00Z

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.

https://duguid.com.au/changelog/#entry-1e4720727b1d6577 2026-09-27T00:00:00Z

https://duguid.com.au/changelog/#entry-691bbea739e67db8 2026-09-26T00:00:00Z

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.

https://duguid.com.au/changelog/#entry-049ac31b54b5c3bb 2026-09-26T00:00:00Z

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.

https://duguid.com.au/changelog/#entry-921950f77caa798d 2026-09-25T00:00:00Z

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.

https://duguid.com.au/changelog/#entry-f432bb56ef950102 2026-09-25T00:00:00Z

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.

https://duguid.com.au/changelog/#entry-3aff16a7be076792 2026-09-24T00:00:00Z

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.

https://duguid.com.au/changelog/#entry-3c67a3d5270f6bcf 2026-09-24T00:00:00Z

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.

https://duguid.com.au/changelog/#entry-1faa1bdfe63aa1e5 2026-09-24T00:00:00Z

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.

https://duguid.com.au/changelog/#entry-868d70a151a342d2 2026-09-24T00:00:00Z

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.

https://duguid.com.au/changelog/#entry-4c562566b8be3a1f 2026-09-24T00:00:00Z

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.

https://duguid.com.au/changelog/#entry-0bfd70a9ee1023bd 2026-09-24T00:00:00Z

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.

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.

https://duguid.com.au/changelog/#entry-62337d3c750b7d10 2026-09-20T00:00:00Z

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.

https://duguid.com.au/changelog/#entry-ebd4b0433d3efd2b 2026-09-20T00:00:00Z

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Engage parked. The site remains a personal open source tool index, not a practice, and is not accepting professional engagements through this site.

Navigation, adoption, and accessibility refinements across the register, with contact and changelog pages added.
