LoadComposer v1.3.6

LoadComposer v1.3.6

This release improves discovery and makes common container-loading questions easier to answer directly from the web.

What's new

• Added a new Guides section with practical pallet-capacity references for:
  • 20' Dry
  • 20' Reefer
  • 40' Dry
  • 40' High Cube
  • 40' HC Reefer
  • 40' HC Pallet Wide
• Added real LoadComposer-generated example layouts to each guide.
• Added "Try this example" links that open the planner with the corresponding load prefilled and calculated.
• Added an About page explaining why LoadComposer was created and the logistics experience behind the project.
• Improved Home page SEO metadata, canonical URLs, sitemap, structured data and internal linking.
• Added dedicated Guides and About navigation.
• Improved standalone page metadata and fallback text.
• Removed Twitter/X-specific metadata while retaining Open Graph sharing metadata.

Preserved behavior

No changes were made to the LoadComposer geometry engine, solver, vehicle dimensions, pallet presets, capacity calculations or loading results.

LoadComposer v1.3.5

LoadComposer v1.3.5

This release improves layout presentation by centering the selected cargo envelope transversely when unused vehicle width remains.

No changes to solver geometry, capacity or loading results.

LoadComposer v1.3.4

LoadComposer v1.3.4

This release improves compatibility with Dark Reader while preserving LoadComposer's native Auto / Light / Dark theme system.

No changes to palette, logos, theme behavior, geometry, loading algorithms or loading results.

LoadComposer v1.3.3

LoadComposer v1.3.3

This release improves the Legal and documentation experience.

What's new:

• Added styled pages for License, Notices, Trademarks, Commercial licensing, Privacy and Security.
• Added English / Italian License selection and a section table of contents.
• Improved long-form Legal page readability and responsive layout.
• Added direct access to canonical Legal source documents under /legal/raw/, with legacy URL redirects preserved.
• Improved Markdown rendering and fixed License table-of-contents numbering.
• Added Windows path-portability checks for release packages.
• Reduced obsolete accumulated QA evidence while preserving required historical release artifacts.

No changes to pallet geometry, loading algorithms, vehicle dimensions or loading results.

LoadComposer v1.3.2

LoadComposer v1.3.2

This release fixes an important floor-placement limitation in the LoadComposer heuristic engine.

Fixed

• Fixed cases where a valid load could be missed when pallets from the same group needed different 90° orientations within the same layout.
• Improved the mixed-orientation candidate search without changing vehicle or pallet dimensions.
• Added deterministic front-compaction so valid layouts keep pallets together from the front of the vehicle where possible, leaving residual longitudinal space toward the rear opening.
• Improved geometry regression coverage for interlocking pallet arrangements.

Validation

• 7,542 geometry/capacity scenarios checked.
• 18 expected improvements over v1.3.1.
• 0 unexpected regressions.
• Mixed-load, units, trailer prudential, status, print and standalone regressions passed.
• GitHub CI and package-integrity workflows passed.

Scope

This is a geometry/capacity hotfix.

No vehicle or pallet reference dimensions, legal text, theme behavior, print transport, or unrelated UI functionality were changed.

LoadComposer v1.3.1

LoadComposer v1.3.1

This patch release improves browser print compatibility.

Fixed:
Replaced the temporary print tab with an isolated in-page print frame.
Prevents focus and input issues observed in Chromium-based browsers when leaving Print Preview.
Printing and cancelling now return directly to the existing LoadComposer page.

Unchanged:
Load geometry and capacity calculations
Printed layout content and appearance
Measurement-unit behaviour
Vehicle and pallet data

LoadComposer v1.3.0

LoadComposer v1.3.0

This release adds complete support for mm, cm and inches, while keeping the geometry engine based on canonical integer millimetres.

Highlights
Global mm / cm / in measurement-unit selection
Consistent unit conversion across inputs, results, diagrams and printing
Improved pallet preset presentation with commercial native dimensions
Clearer FITS / DOES NOT FIT and diagnostic status semantics
Clearer load/capacity and height/access information
Prudential access checks for 13.60 m curtain-side, Mega and refrigerated trailers
Total volume shown in m³ or ft³ according to the selected measurement system
Simplified and clearer operational print layouts
Responsive and standalone/offline improvements

Geometry and capacity behaviour remain unchanged from the validated baseline.

LoadComposer v1.2.1

LoadComposer v1.2.1

This release focuses on interface consistency, readability and responsive behavior, while keeping LoadComposer's loading engine unchanged.

What's new

• Improved the desktop layout to make better use of available screen space, especially on larger monitors.
• Simplified the Load / Capacity information in the results table for faster and clearer reading.
• Removed redundant per-vehicle weight information while keeping the overall weight status visible.
• Improved result-table responsiveness and horizontal navigation on narrower screens.
• Updated the Legal Information page with the same language and theme controls used elsewhere in LoadComposer.
• Unified the visual identity of the Download, Legal Information and 404 pages with compact LoadComposer branding.
• Redesigned the custom 404 page with clearer recovery actions and full language/theme support.
• Improved visual consistency across light and dark themes.

Compatibility

No changes were made to:

• pallet placement algorithms;
• loading geometry;
• vehicle or container dimensions;
• loading capacities;
• baseline loading results;
• print or PDF behavior.

The loading engine remains functionally equivalent to v1.2.0.

Offline version

Standalone HTML and ZIP packages are available below.

The standalone version works without an Internet connection but must be updated manually when a newer LoadComposer release becomes available.

LoadComposer v1.2.0

LoadComposer v1.2.0

This release improves how LoadComposer is distributed and makes loading guidance easier to understand in everyday warehouse use.

What's new

• Added a dedicated Download page with clear guidance between the recommended online version and the offline standalone version.
• Added direct downloads for the standalone HTML and ZIP packages, with SHA-256 integrity information.
• Clarified the remaining space information shown in the results.
• Simplified the compact loading warning to provide clearer operational guidance when very little longitudinal space remains.
• Updated documentation, translations and regression tests.

Recommended use

The online version is recommended whenever Internet access is available because it always provides the latest published version.

The offline standalone version is intended for computers without Internet access or systems that need to remain offline. Offline copies must be updated manually when a newer LoadComposer version is released.

Compatibility

No changes were made to pallet geometry, vehicle dimensions, loading capacity algorithms or baseline loading results.

LoadComposer v1.1.0

• Added a direct link to the GitHub bug report form.
• Updated release metadata, documentation and regression tests.
• No changes to pallet geometry, loading algorithms, vehicle dimensions or baseline loading results.

Standalone downloads are available below.
