v1.0.9 - March 30, 2026

✨ What's New

  • Desktop app Google sign-in fixed β€” You no longer need to manually enter your Gmail password or deal with the "Complete sign-in using your passkey" prompt in the desktop app. Sign-in now works with a single click, just like the web version. We upgraded our authentication system under the hood to make this possible.
  • Responsive dashboard table β€” The room list table now adapts to smaller screens by progressively hiding less critical columns (Status, Creator), keeping the UI clean on mobile and tablet devices.

v1.0.8 - March 29, 2026

πŸ›  Fixes & Improvements

  • Fixed collaborative editing corruption β€” Resolved an issue where code could become corrupted when multiple users joined a shared pad at the same time. This was the root cause of code structure becoming "messed up" for other participants during real-time collaboration.
  • Improved connection stability β€” Username changes (e.g., when a session loads) no longer cause a brief disconnection. Only the display name is updated in-place.
  • Fixed event listener memory leak β€” Cursor style and user presence listeners are now properly cleaned up when leaving a room.
  • CSS injection safety β€” Remote user cursor colors are now validated before rendering, preventing potential styling issues from unexpected input.
  • Fixed memory leak in playback β€” Session playback resources are now properly released after use.

v1.0.7 - February 18, 2026

πŸ›  Fixes & Improvements

  • Routine maintenance updates and performance improvements.

v1.0.6 - November 11, 2025

πŸ›  Fixes & Improvements

  • Fixed an issue where the background transparency could not be adjusted in Python, C/C++, Golang, Java, and JavaScript compilers.
  • Resolved connection issues with the Run Code Compiler.
  • All systems are now operating normally.

v1.0.5 - September 19, 2025

✨ What's New

  • We added blog system to share knowledge, experiences, and insights on technical interviews and coding challenges.

v1.0.4 - August 6, 2025

✨ What's New

  • Dashboard UI Refresh: We’ve updated the dashboard with a cleaner, more modern flat design. We hope you enjoy the new look and feel!
  • Go Language Support: Go (Golang) is now officially supported on our platform. Give it a try in your next session!

v1.0.3 – August 3, 2025

✨ What's New

  • Multi-select delete in the Dashboard’s pad table, allowing users to select and remove multiple pads at once.

πŸ›  Fixes & Improvements

  • End Interview bug: prevent registered users from ending interviews in rooms they did not create.

v1.0.2 β€” July 28, 2025

This update includes UI refinements, bug fixes, and new feature enhancements.

✨ What's New

  • AI Code Completion in CoderPad
    Integrated AI-assisted code suggestions to boost productivity during live coding.
  • Upgraded: 3 Free Coding Pads for New Users
    We've increased the free usage from 2 to 3 CoderPads for all new users β€” giving you more room to practice and collaborate before subscribing.
  • Redesigned Guest Sign-In Page
    Improved layout, typography, and responsiveness for a smoother first-time experience.
  • Refactored CoderPad Connection Logic
    Fixed an issue where duplicate user connections could occur in collaborative sessions.
  • Changelog System Added
    Introduced version-based changelog records under the Docs section.
  • Updated Data Table UI
    Refined the appearance and interaction of tables across the dashboard.
  • Expanded Zoom Setup Instructions
    Added clearer step-by-step guidance and visuals to help users configure screen sharing safely.

🚧 What's Next

We're shifting our focus to AI-powered generation tools to enhance the coding experience:

  • AI Code Assistant Panel
    A conversational AI interface (like AI Compiler) that lets you interact with an AI agent, confirm suggestions, and send responses directly into the code editor.
  • Image Upload Support
    Users will soon be able to upload screenshots or diagrams as part of their AI prompts β€” allowing the assistant to understand and respond to visual input.

Stay tuned β€” we're just getting started!

v1.0.1 β€” July 24, 2025

This is a minor update with important UX and compatibility improvements.

πŸ›  Fixes & Improvements

  • Clipboard Copy Bug Fixed - In the CoderPad invite section, clicking the copy icon next to the invite link now works as expected. Previously, users had to click inside the input field to copy β€” clicking the icon had no effect. This is now fixed for smoother sharing.
  • Desktop App Detection Improved - Fixed an issue where the desktop app occasionally failed to detect access to the Codex Interview platform. Detection is now more consistent and reliable.
  • Content Update: β€œWhy Not AI?” Page - Updated the copy and structure of the β€œWhy Not AI?” page to better explain Codex Interview’s human-in-the-loop philosophy and why it avoids overreliance on AI.

If you encounter any bugs or have feedback, let us know β€” we’re improving fast!

v1.0.0 β€” July 20, 2025
