## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 5.3.3 — 2026-07-21

Maintenance update. We've updated the app to stay compatible with the latest
phones and operating systems, and improved our behind-the-scenes crash
reporting so we can find and fix issues faster. The assessment works the same
as before, and your answers still stay on your device.

### 5.3.2 — 2026-07-17

Behind-the-scenes stability and reliability improvements, including better crash
diagnostics so we can spot and fix issues faster. Your assessments and reports
work exactly as before.

### 5.3.1 — 2026-07-08

Maintenance update: Aussie Cyber Check now runs on the latest app framework for compatibility with current iPhone and iPad software. No changes to the assessment or your saved answers.

### 5.3 — 2026-07-02

Added a "More from Squirrelhog" section so you can find our other apps and tools for Australian businesses.

### 5.2 — 2026-06-12

Your results now aim at a sensible baseline that suits a business your
  size, instead of pushing everyone towards the highest level.

• New quick step before your results: tell us whether you work on your own,
  and whether anyone — a client, your insurer, or a government department —
  requires you to meet a security standard. We use that to set the right
  goal for you, and nothing more than you need.

• Clearer results: higher levels are now shown as optional "go further"
  steps if you want them, not as a pass or fail.

• Plainer wording throughout, and updated guidance now that Windows 10 has
  reached end of life.
