## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.2.0 — 2026-07-25

All-new Messaging
Your messages are now organized into two tabs: Inbox for your daycare life — group chats per child, staff rooms, and announcements — and Marketplace for connecting about spots, jobs, and new opportunities. Providers can broadcast an announcement to every family at once.

Classrooms & Roles (Providers)
Organize your daycare into classrooms, assign children and staff to rooms, and give each employee the right role and permissions — managers, admins, and floating staff who move between rooms. Chats for each classroom stay in sync automatically.

Your profile is your website
Providers and caregivers get a free public profile page with a shareable link (totspal.com/p/your-name) — post it on social media, business cards, anywhere families look.

Email notifications
Never miss a new message, waitlist request, or job application — TotsPal now emails you when it matters. Turn it off anytime in Settings → Notifications.

Smarter notifications
One notification bell, a cleaner "New / Earlier" view, and everything marks itself read when you open it.
