## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 3.4.1 — 2026-08-20

HostBook 3.4.1 fixes the way sign-in handles an unconfirmed email.

• If your confirmation email hasn't arrived yet, signing in now offers to send it again — and reminds you to check your spam folder — instead of simply refusing you.
• Confirmation and password emails now come from the hostbook.uk address, so they are far more likely to reach your inbox.
• Small fixes and reliability improvements throughout.

### 3.4 — 2026-08-17

HostBook 3.4 ends amount-typing.

• Import the transaction CSV from your channel's earnings page: every booking is matched by its confirmation code and filled with gross, service fee, and cleaning fee — no more typing amounts. (Pro)
• Anything the file can't explain waits in a review queue, grouped by listing — nothing is guessed, and re-importing the same file never double-counts.
• Split payouts, refunds, adjustments, and resolution-centre payments land as what they are — on the right booking.
• Bring your whole history in: one tap adds every past stay, creating any listing HostBook doesn't have yet.
• On Mac, point HostBook at a folder and any earnings file you download imports by itself.
• Reports now show real platform fees — gross, fees, and net.
• Team Access works with it end to end: co-host requests, receipts, and approvals stay one tap away.
• Stability and reliability improvements.

### 3.3 — 2026-08-13

HostBook 3.3 builds the trust layer into Team Access.

• Receipts on expenses: a co-host attaches up to three photos when submitting an expense — compressed on the device and stripped of location data before anything is uploaded.
• You review with the evidence in front of you: the receipts sit right on the approval request, with a full-size view one tap away.
• Receipts stay private: only you and the co-host who sent them can see them — never other co-hosts.
• Your listing photos reach your co-hosts: each listing they're assigned shows its cover photo, so their app looks like yours.
• Every request tells its story: when it was decided, when it was applied to the books, and the reason on the rare occasion something failed.
• Co-hosts can browse their full request history.
• Stability and reliability improvements.

### 3.2 — 2026-08-12

HostBook 3.2 rebuilds the calendar and completes Team Access.

• A redesigned calendar: stays run as continuous bars across the nights they cover, months scroll without paging, and the weekday letters stay pinned at the top.
• Colour now tells you WHEN: a stay that is over recedes, the guest in your property tonight stands out, and anything still to come reads clearly apart from both.
• Touch and drag straight across dates to select them — no mode to turn on first. A sweep stops at a booked or blocked night instead of running through it, and tapping one selected day clears just that day.
• Tap a stay for a preview — guest, dates, nights, channel and amount — with Edit one tap away.
• Record a co-host payment, then edit or delete it later, and choose which month it settles when that differs from the day it was paid.
• Team Access: change a co-host's listings and permissions after inviting them, approve several requests at once, and see whether their notifications are actually being delivered.
• Notification preferences now govern delivery: choose booking changes, check-ins, check-outs and operational updates for yourself.
• Stability and reliability improvements.
