Changelog · 2026 releases
What we shipped.
Guest Talk publishes release notes every time a change reaches production. This page lists the last three months in reverse chronological order. Older entries are archived in the workspace changelog viewer; workspace administrators receive a summary email on the last Friday of every month.
Group-level parity dashboardFeature
The parity monitor now rolls up across every property in a group. A single view surfaces where a property is unintentionally undercutting itself on a specific channel, ordered by revenue impact. Alerts route to the group revenue manager on a configurable severity threshold.
Booking.com XML certification retry logicFix
Certification retries now respect Booking Connectivity's request-quota window. Previously a burst of retries during a stalled certification could push a customer temporarily out of the queue; the new backoff schedule fits inside the quota with margin.
Native WhatsApp template libraryFeature
Twenty pre-approved WhatsApp Business API templates ship in every workspace, in EN, DE, FR, IT, ES, PT. Templates cover pre-arrival, on-arrival, mid-stay, departure and post-stay flows plus utility payment links. Approval flow for customer-created templates streamlined.
Tape chart render on 200+ room propertiesPerf
The tape chart now renders large properties in under 400ms at the 95th percentile. Previously large properties saw jank when scrolling weeks ahead; the fix rewrites the virtualisation layer and reduces DOM churn by roughly 70 percent.
Housekeeping equivalent-clean unitsFeature
Assignments now distribute by equivalent-clean units rather than by room count. Suites weigh 2 units, stayovers weigh 1, quick refreshes weigh 0.5. Default target 12 units per housekeeper per shift, adjustable by the housekeeping manager.
Multi-property strategy engineFeature
Rate strategies can now be defined at the group level and inherited by any subset of properties. Local overrides remain but every override is logged and highlighted to the group revenue manager when it persists beyond its planned window.
Airbnb reservation ingestion race conditionFix
A rare race condition when Airbnb sent a reservation confirmation and immediate cancellation within one second was corrected. All previously-affected reservations were reconciled overnight; workspace administrators received an audit summary.
Analytics rate shopper across 200 European citiesFeature
The competitive rate shopper now covers 200 European cities including the major secondary and tertiary markets. Coverage of Nordics, Iberia and the Adriatic coast expanded significantly.
SEPA direct-debit refund reversalFix
SEPA direct-debit refunds initiated within 48 hours of the original charge were sometimes duplicated in Stripe. The fix deduplicates at the Stripe API level and back-fills the reconciliation reports.
Native Smart Lock integration for Nuki and SaltoFeature
Keyless entry codes now issued and revoked programmatically per stay for Nuki and Salto smart locks. Fallback to physical key-drop with property-manager notification if the smart lock reports failure.
OpenAPI 3.1 specification publishedDocs
The full REST API is now described by an OpenAPI 3.1 specification at api.talkg.fabriza.org/v1/openapi.json. Generated SDKs for TypeScript, Python and Ruby follow on every API release.
Group folios with split-payment trackingFeature
Group bookings now open a first-class group folio; each guest can pay their portion via a dedicated payment link. Automatic reminders and soft escalation to the group leader for outstanding balances.
Argon2id migration for legacy password hashesSecurity
Legacy scrypt password hashes migrated to Argon2id on next login. Reset instructions sent to any account inactive for over 12 months. No account credential compromise; the migration was proactive posture improvement.
Long-stay rate cadenceFeature
Rate plans now support nightly, weekly and monthly cadence for aparthotel operators. The booking widget displays the price in the guest's most relevant cadence based on their selected date range.
Hostelworld group cancellation refund flowFix
The refund flow for Hostelworld group cancellations correctly credits each split-payment participant. Previously, refunds attempted a single reversal to the group leader, which failed for groups that had used split payment.
