TenderMate 0.49

TenderMate no longer leaves a black window on your screen.

• It starts in the background. Double-click TenderMate.cmd: a small window says it is starting, then closes by itself and your browser opens the app.
• Stopping moved into the app. There is no window to close any more, so open About TenderMate at the bottom of the left column and choose Stop TenderMate. The tab then tells you it has stopped. Your work is saved as you go.
• If it does not start, that window stays open and says why, with the last lines of the log.
• Updates restart quietly instead of opening a window.

Everything else is unchanged: extract the whole folder, double-click the launcher, no installer, no account.

Before you extract: the launcher is not code-signed yet, so Windows will say "The publisher could not be verified" when you run it. That is a signature warning, not a virus report. Right-click the zip -> Properties -> tick Unblock -> OK before extracting, and the prompt does not appear. If you have already extracted, delete the folder and extract again after unblocking.

Updating from 0.48: the update feed offers this release inside the app, under About TenderMate. Nothing in your records moves or changes.

TenderMate 0.48

The first build under the new name.

• The app, launcher and folders are now TenderMate. The window, the About panel, the calendar export and the update check all use the new name.
• Your records are untouched. The browsable folder moves from %USERPROFILE%\BidDocket to %USERPROFILE%\TenderMate by itself on first start, and existing tender packs keep opening.
• No installer: extract the zip and double-click TenderMate.cmd.

Updating from 0.47: this build identifies itself as TenderMate in the update feed. A 0.47 copy expects the old name and will refuse it, so extract this zip once. Updates work normally after that.

TenderMate 0.47

Checklist gaps no longer disappear when a ticked item is reopened; unlinked documents return to Missing.

Registry and People tables now scroll inside their panel instead of widening the page.

Discover stops reporting "0 of 0" when a filter matches nothing. Search results open the page image, Clear filters resets the address, and the BidDocket wordmark takes you home.

TenderMate 0.46

Discover now tells the truth about results, gaps and time.

• Award notices are recognised, hidden from the open list, and never offered Track or Download.
• Preview shows a listing's dates, description, fit reasons and documents before you commit.
• Tracking confirms, opens the tender, and Get documents from Discover now opens the tracked listing.
• Failed months are recorded as gaps and retried on the next refresh; coverage no longer claims them.
• Two syncs cannot run at once. Last sync shows the finish time.
• Discover at tablet widths no longer pushes its action buttons off-screen.

TenderMate 0.45

Honest counts. The overview shows documents on file split into current, expiring, expired and no expiry date - a document nobody dated is no longer counted as current. Readiness no longer leads with '0 gaps' when nothing is confirmed. The bundle manifest calls its human checks 'Checks before you submit', because they are not the tender page's readiness flags.

TenderMate 0.44

BidDocket 0.44 for Windows 10/11 (64-bit). No installer: extract the folder and double-click BidDocket.cmd. Your records live outside the app folder and are not touched by an update.

In this release:

• Each attached document is read for its own expiry date ("Certificate Expiry Date", "Valid until", "Expires", "valid from ... to ..."). Expiry alerts, readiness, matching and the submission bundle use the earlier of that date and the one recorded, so a certificate whose own pages say it expired cannot be counted as current.
• The recorded date is kept and shown beside the document's date with the page and quote. Retyping a later date does not revive an expired document; replace the file instead.
• A document that states an expiry when none was recorded now uses that date and says so.
• Certificates with no expiry on file read "No expiry recorded" instead of "Valid".

Windows will warn that the app is unsigned. Unblock the zip (Properties, then Unblock) before extracting, then choose More info, then Run anyway if prompted.

TenderMate 0.43

BidDocket 0.43 for Windows 10/11 (64-bit). No installer: extract the folder and double-click BidDocket.cmd. Your records live outside the app folder and are not touched by an update.

In this release

• Document lifecycle: replace a certificate with a newer version, choose what to do with a duplicate upload (open, add as a version, or keep both), and see each document's full history.
• Updates without a reinstall: About BidDocket checks this feed, downloads a newer build, verifies its SHA-256 and restarts into it.
