What's New
New features, improvements, and updates to help you build your best CV.
Version 2.0.5
August 30, 2026The header search button follows the editor
The magnifying glass in the header now behaves like the one inside the CV editor: grey until you hover it on a desktop, and white on mobile.
Exported PDFs end where your CV ends
Exports could come out with a band of empty space after the last section, or push the final entry onto a second page. Both are fixed, and the page is now sized to your content to within a pixel. The blank space was worst on the Creative template, where roughly 4% of every export was empty paper — its header crops a decorative shape, and the export stylesheet was overriding that crop, which made the shape spill sideways and quietly reflow the printed page.
Short CVs on the Creative template
A Creative CV short enough to fit comfortably on one page could still export as two. Same cause as above, so it is fixed by the same change.
Version 2.0.4
August 30, 2026Going to your dashboard from a public page
If you were signed in and moved from the home page, help centre or a shared CV link straight to your dashboard, you could hit an error screen that only cleared on a refresh. That path works again. It was introduced by the change in the last release that lets public pages load faster, and it only affected navigation within the app — opening the dashboard directly was always fine.
The search button matches its neighbours
The magnifying glass in the header was a dimmer grey than the icons beside it. It now matches.
Version 2.0.3
August 29, 2026The home page holds back more of its weight
The template previews further down the home page now wait properly until you scroll towards them, rather than loading their fonts and styles while the top of the page is still arriving. The last release moved them out of the way on paper; measuring it afterwards showed they were still loading, just later. This is the fix, and the page carries noticeably less on first load because of it.
A proper placeholder for template previews
While those previews load, you now see an outline of the cards that are coming rather than a single grey block. It keeps the page from jumping as they fill in.
Version 2.0.2
August 29, 2026Public pages load faster
The home page, help centre, articles and shared CV links now do less work before they appear. The template previews on the home page wait until you scroll to them instead of competing with everything above, pages ask the database for less on each visit, and the ones that look the same for everybody are now served from a cache close to you. Signed in? Your name and menu settle into the header a moment after the page draws, which is what allows the rest to arrive sooner.
Safeguards on PDF export
Every release now exports a real CV and checks the finished PDF actually contains the template's fonts, so a document that renders with the wrong typefaces is caught before it reaches you rather than after. When an export does fail, the reason is now recorded with it, which means problems get diagnosed instead of guessed at.
Version 2.0.1
August 29, 2026Changelog reads in a sensible order
Updates on this page are now grouped as new features first, then improvements, then fixes, instead of appearing in the order they happened to be written. This applies to every past release too.
Signing in with Google works again
A recent update to our authentication library changed how sign-ins are recorded, which stopped Google from completing the sign-in and showed an error instead. Google sign-in is restored, and existing accounts are unaffected — your CVs and settings are exactly as you left them. Signing in with an email link was never affected.
Version 2.0.0
August 29, 2026Clearer consent before sharing a CV publicly
Turning on public sharing now asks you to confirm you understand your CV may contain sensitive details — health, trade union, political, religious or ethnic information implied by the roles and organisations you list — and that anyone with the link will be able to read it. You can turn sharing off at any time.
A complete copy of your data
Export my data now includes your cover letters and your sign-in history alongside your profile, CVs, reviews and activity. Deleting your account removes all of it, including any cached PDF exports.
Unused accounts are removed after 12 months
We no longer keep accounts indefinitely. If you do not sign in for 12 months your account and its CVs are deleted, with an email 30 days beforehand and a final reminder 7 days before. Signing in at any point cancels it.
Faster, more resilient platform
EZCV has moved to a new Cloudflare-based application stack designed for faster responses and stronger reliability. The editor, dashboard, and public pages now run on infrastructure built to scale closer to users.
Quicker navigation between pages
Moving around the app now shows instant loading placeholders instead of a blank pause, and pages begin loading as soon as you hover a link. The dashboard, editor, and article pages all feel noticeably more responsive.
Template changes apply as you make them
Colour and template customisations now update the preview immediately instead of needing a reload, and the preview zoom steps through sensible sizes.
More reliable PDF exports
PDF generation now runs on a dedicated browser export service, with every release checked against real exports before it ships. Cached exports are also cleared as soon as you delete a CV or cover letter.
A privacy policy that says what actually happens
The privacy policy has been rewritten to list every service that handles your data and why, name the legal basis for each purpose, give concrete retention periods rather than vague promises, and explain your rights including how to complain to a supervisory authority.
Sign-in and payments
Sign in with Google or a magic link sent to your email — no password to remember. Supporter payments continue to run through Stripe, with more reliable handling of payment confirmations and refunds.
Stronger release checks
The release pipeline now validates the deployed staging app with browser tests across Chromium, Firefox, and WebKit. These checks make it easier to ship layout, export, and navigation updates with confidence.
Fonts and formatting now match everywhere
Your chosen fonts now render correctly in the live preview and in exported PDFs, and exports are named properly when you download them. Bulleted and numbered lists behave correctly in description fields again, and text no longer reverts while you type.
Search engine indexing setting now works
The "Search Engine Indexing" switch on a shared CV was not being applied — public CVs were offered to search engines regardless of the setting, which is off by default. It is now respected, and CVs that are not indexable no longer publish machine-readable contact details for crawlers.
Version 1.9.0
April 24, 2026New FAQ section on the homepage
We added a dedicated section to answer common questions about PDF exports, ATS compatibility, and account types. This helps you get quick answers about our services without searching through help docs.
Article reading times and update dates
Career advice and resume tips now include estimated reading times and publication dates. This helps you quickly gauge how long an article will take to read and ensures you are viewing the most current information.
Faster navigation for templates and resources
Optimized how pages are stored in your browser for significantly faster loading of the template gallery and help guides. This makes browsing and selecting the right resume layout much snappier.
Improved homepage content accuracy
Fixed an issue where the homepage could display outdated links or information for several minutes. Updates to site news, reviews, and articles now appear instantly when you navigate the site.
Version 1.8.1
April 23, 2026Safer deployment checks for analytics configuration
Deployments now validate custom analytics script URLs and integrity hashes before startup. Misconfigured values fail fast instead of shipping broken script tags to the browser.
Blocked invalid monitoring script URLs
We fixed a production configuration issue that could cause the browser to request a monitoring endpoint as if it were a JavaScript file. Analytics and error monitoring configs now stay separated correctly.
Version 1.8.0
April 22, 2026Hardened reviews, exports, and AI refinement
Added rate limiting and input bounds to the review flow, tightened export concurrency, and protected the AI starter from prompt-injection payloads so edits save cleanly under concurrent saves.
Faster dashboard loads
The dashboard and command palette no longer transfer per-CV customization JSON they never used, cutting payload size on accounts with many CVs.
Safer error reporting
Server error logs are now scrubbed for credentials and capped per error type, preventing secret leakage and write storms during incidents.
Onboarding now lands you in the editor reliably
After setting your name on first login, you are now taken straight to your first CV draft instead of bouncing back to the onboarding screen.
Version 1.7.1
April 17, 2026Launch ticker works correctly on mobile devices
The launch platform ticker now scrolls smoothly on narrow screens instead of stacking platforms on multiple rows. We also fixed a flicker that could occur near the viewport boundary and ensured the ticker respects your system's reduced-motion preference.
Version 1.7.0
April 16, 2026Launch platform ticker added to homepage
We have introduced a new ticker on the landing page that highlights the platforms where EZCV has been featured. This helps showcase our visibility and community presence.
Improved ticker layout and spacing
