- Updated design for the status and ownership confirmation dialogs #485
- Addressed an inconsistency with the reset changes button on mobile #620
🪲 Bugs

Full Changelog: 2026.03.16...2026.03.30
2026.03.16
✨ New Features
- Added new Offerwall integration to Publisher Tools 🎉#462
- Enabling publishers to include Web Monetization as a custom choice in Google’s Offerwall (via Google Ad Manager).
- Users can select Web Monetization to make instant micropayments for content access, offering publishers a new monetization option alongside ads, surveys, and other Offerwall choices.
- The integration requires only a Web Monetization-compatible wallet and a generated script from Publisher Tools to get started.
Read more about the Offerwall experience
- Added WordPress plugin link to the Publisher Tools page.
- This highlights the Web Monetization integration with WordPress, and clicking the card opens the integration in the store, making it easier for publishers to discover and access the plugin. #611
🔧 Improvements
- Improved reliability when saving and loading your tool profiles to prevent occasional issues with different profile settings not updating correctly. #511
- If there’s an issue with the wallet address, the screen will now automatically scroll to and focus on the input field. #569
- Disconnecting from one interactive tool will no longer disconnect you from other tools. #567
🪲 Bugs
- Fixed issues where settings or wallet connections could be shared across tools. Each tool (such as Banner, Widget, or Offerwall) now works independently, so you can use different wallets and configurations without them affecting each other. (#319, #603)
Full Changelog: 2026.03.02...2026.03.16
2026.03.02
🔧 Improvements
-
Made the color and image settings more reliable by improving validations for color and assets (#550)
-
Better sanitization support for user profile styling choices (#548)
-
Improved browser detection handling, including mobile. This means if you're using a browser (like Chrome on Android) where our browser extension isn't supported, you'll no longer be incorrectly prompted to install it. Instead, we'll provide you with the correct fallback options or information. (#564)
-
Fixed an issue where interactive tools would have different disconnect behaviour from each other (#567)
-
Make sure that when you need to enter your wallet address, the screen automatically scrolls and focuses on the wallet address input field (#569)
Full Changelog: 2026.02.03...2026.03.02
2026.02.03
✨ New Features
We've made it easier for publishers to integrate interactive tools:
- Script generation now includes additional information and hints guiding script placement within the website’s
<body>(#328). - Publishers can now access Content Security Policy documentation directly from the script generation interface, with allow-list requirements clearly outlined. Added contextual "How it works" documentation links when copying Banner or Widget scripts (#146).
🪲 Bugs
Resolved a minor bug for the Probabilistic Revenue Share generator.
- Fix the URL displayed when users import existing configuration. (#473).
2025.12.08
🔧 Improvements
-
Adjust how the app checks your payment status to avoid false state or “pending” moments. Expect a more seamless experience when sending money, so payments go through more smoothly without unnecessary delays (#443).
-
Enhance parts of the app’s accessibility so screens load faster and transitions feel smoother. You should notice a more fluid experience when moving through the app (#218).
-
Updated the underlying navigation engine of the app. This results in quicker screen changes, better data loading, and an overall more responsive feel (#129).
A significant part of the next release focused on maintenance and long-term reliability. We’re actively working on making the app’s configuration more stable and adaptable for future updates, ensuring smoother improvements going forward.
