Release history

Changelog

0.16.0

Release information for FormFolio 0.16.0. The Chrome Web Store listing shows the version available for installation; these notes do not indicate publication or Google approval.

• Free AI-assisted job form filling uses deterministic matching for known questions before optional on-device Gemini Nano. No paid AI account or model-weight training is required.
• Keeps all filling required-only, including manual Fill and uploads; optional and not-identified-required controls stay untouched.
• Uses a compact two-line bottom-center panel with Details/Less, visible saving and Not saved states, and retry in Details.
• Keeps the panel fixed while scrolling through a non-modal top layer, including pages with transformed roots, without locking forms or dismissing menus.
• Matches bounded German current-residence questions through exact English/German country identities, not broad multilingual or citizenship support.
• Offers separately disclosed approval for supported required single-choice informational acknowledgments and application terms/privacy agreements. Acceptance on your behalf may have legal effect; review linked terms yourself.
• Keeps acceptance off for existing users until explicit opt-in. Earlier setup approval and ordinary Stop/Start do not enable it; individual opt-out is in Advanced.
• Keeps signatures, factual certifications, IDs, birth dates, background/criminal/credit checks, marketing, optional, multiple, and ambiguous choices manual. Arbitrary buttons and Submit are never clicked.
• Never learns agreement values as applicant facts or asks AI to decide acceptance. With local memory enabled, unchecking an automatic acceptance saves a scoped manual-only rule; Undo changes memory, not the live form.
• Preserves the 0.15 reporting format: consented screened question/options and answer-free diagnostics, without actual answers, selected-option indices, resumes, or a collector change.

0.15.0

Release information for FormFolio 0.15.0. The Chrome Web Store listing shows the version available for installation; these notes do not indicate Google approval.

• Leads with free job form autofill, without subscriptions or paid AI requirements.
• Captures private decision evidence and preserves typed facts across equivalent questions, options, corrections, and history clearing.
• Uses the extension background worker for locally validated on-device diagnosis.
• Offers one-time approval for automatic screened question/options and answer-free diagnostics, with daily limits and deduplication.
• Preserves earlier consent, supports a gentle monthly issue invitation, and keeps local learning independent of sharing.
• Limits suspected-issue invitations to once per thirty days, with Not now and Don't ask again. Accepting changes reporting only.
• Retains optional manual review without automatic consent and excludes actual answers, resumes, selected-option markers, and private fact values from reports.
• Pairs diagnostic examples with strict collector validation and maintainer review before shared rule releases; reports do not train model weights.
• Preserves required-only filling and uploads, personal repairs, Undo, and bottom-center saved/AI feedback when minimized.

0.14.0

The Chrome Web Store listing shows the installable version. These notes do not indicate Google approval.

• Added one disclosed recommended setup for automatic filling, local learning including eligible sensitive answers, sensitive filling, on-device AI when available, and answer-free category reports.
• Added a visible Start without sharing alternative with the same local features and automatic reporting off.
• Moved individual controls to Advanced; ordinary Stop/Start preserves sensitive, AI, and reporting choices. Reapplying recommended setup is explicit.
• Kept consent unchanged on import and update; existing users choose setup explicitly.
• Made automatic and manual Fill required-only, including uploads. Optional and not-identified-required fields remain untouched.
• Added corroborated later-step detection, including Avature-style disclosure pages, plus rechecks for navigation and delayed controls.
• Added Use FormFolio here near the top of the popup to recover a missed application step using saved learning choices, without a separate Learn action.
• Positioned the responsive in-page panel at bottom-center, with saving and saved feedback visible even when minimized.
• Kept save feedback application-scoped and visible during ordinary fill/status refreshes. Manual, paused, and error states are explicit; failed saves retain Retry.
• Required clears reject prior answers until replacements are supplied. Optional clears create no persistent blank preference.
• Migrated inferred keep-blank repairs to rejection while preserving explicit Advanced custom rules and safety restrictions.
• Kept optional model preparation separate from setup; unavailable AI does not block filling or local learning.
• Kept question text behind separate trusted review and explicit Send, and hid redundant reporting invitations during setup and after opt-in.
• Preserved milestone thresholds, cooldowns, support links, and concurrent-safe settings merging.

0.13.0

• Prevented authorization repairs from crossing ambiguous country contexts.
• Kept Yes/No residence responses from replacing actual country facts.
• Preserved corrections for large dropdowns and added bounded combobox searching.
• Added independent private observation, a bounded journal, and typed personal repairs.
• Distinguished contact fact synonyms, option equivalence, contextual rejection, scoped answers, keep-blank, and manual-only intent.
• Canonicalized application scope without tracking/session identity and recognized supported ATS employer scopes.
• Saved exact repairs before optional on-device generalization and invalidated inference after Undo.
• Added private learning outcomes, generalization controls, and history clearing that keep saved answers.
• Added a missed-field picker and editable reviewed examples with explicit Send.
• Excluded entered/selected answers, selected flags, full HTML, and page URLs from evidence.
• Limited automatic reports to fixed categories and public provenance; novel wording requires explicit reviewed sending.
• Retained legacy collector schemas for older clients without enabling automatic novel text upload.
• Added local candidates, synthetic fixtures, fictional-profile and negative-case validation, and content-bound review before packaging.
• Merged trusted packaged rules into separate exports, retaining review history and requiring fresh baseline-bound review for explicit replacements.
• Kept failures independent of committed repairs; no remote runtime code, automatic publication, or paid AI requirement.
• Preserved consent defaults, milestone thresholds and cooldowns, and concurrent-safe settings merging.
