v0.9.0-betaBeta

Clear Water

Released August 29, 2026

Hourly billing now refuses hours beyond the funded weekly limit at the moment they are logged, and bills the hours that fit instead of blocking the week outright. A dispute settled by agreement can no longer be overridden by the deadline release, and approving a milestone offers the release action on the spot. Chats attached to a job carry a contract card, and posting suggests categories and skills from what you have written.

Highlights

Hours beyond the funded weekly limit are refused as you log them, not dropped at billing
An agreed dispute split can no longer be overridden by the deadline release
Approving a milestone puts the release action in front of you
A contract card pinned above every job and hire chat
Category and skill suggestions while you write a listing

Hourly billing

FixedHours logged past a week's funded limit are refused as you log them, with a message saying how many hours are left and asking the client to add funds or raise the limit. They were previously accepted and then silently dropped when the week was billed.
FixedBilling a week now bills the hours that fit the funded budget and holds the rest back, telling you how much was billed and how much was held. The bill dialog previously disabled itself once outstanding hours passed the funded limit, so nothing could be billed at all.
AddedAn hourly hire that is closing explains what is still holding it up — an open week, an invoice in review, or a dispute — and gives the expected clearing date once the only thing left is an invoice waiting out its review window.
FixedTopping up a week that is already open was still failing permanently after a lost confirmation, even after last release fixed the same problem when a week is first funded. The top-up amount is now derived from the state of the week on-chain too, so a retry succeeds.

Disputes

FixedAn escrow where both sides had already agreed a split could be released in full to the freelancer once the deadline passed, discarding the agreed share. Escrows with a resolution pending are now excluded from the automatic deadline release.
FixedA dispute whose payout had already settled on-chain could be recorded as failed, so the app put it back into negotiation over money that had already moved. No second payment was ever possible — the escrow refuses one — but the status was wrong. The outcome is now read back from the chain.

Hires & milestones

FixedApproving a milestone now offers the release on the spot. Funded from a Platform Wallet, it releases on approval; funded from an external wallet, the milestone shows as awaiting release with the button to sign it. Approving used to collapse the card to done with no way to release.
FixedMilestones are limited to fixed-price work. They can no longer be added to an hourly job when posting, editing or agreeing proposal terms, and unpaid milestone plans left on existing hourly jobs were removed.
FixedEditing a job no longer fails silently. Saving used to do nothing and show no error when a required field on another step was missing; the form now sends you to the step that has the problem.
FixedChanging the payment type, or the remote and urgent switches, in the posting wizard updates the steps that follow. The counters and date pickers were unfrozen last release; these switches were still stuck on the values the form opened with.

Payments

FixedThe confirmation repair introduced last release now also covers the payments Worqen makes on its own — the deadline release, escrow closures, hourly payouts and week settlements — so a payment that settled on Solana no longer appears stuck on any of them.
FixedUSDT and USDC are offered together wherever you choose a payment or payout currency, and are treated the same way throughout. Editing a job priced in USDC no longer silently switches it to USDT.
FixedFunding, releasing and paying are no longer cut off part-way through confirmation. Worqen waits about as long as a Solana confirmation actually takes, and one slow response cannot use up that wait on its own. A payment that still outruns it is reconciled from the chain.

Communication

AddedA chat attached to a job or a hire shows a contract card above the conversation with the title, the amount, the payment type, the current status and, for hourly work, the week being worked. The card used to depend on a one-off system message, so most chats never had one.
SecurityChat attachments and milestone evidence files are pinned to the conversation and to the person who uploaded them, and their links are rebuilt on the server rather than trusted from the browser.
ImprovedConnecting a calendar explains why a connection failed — permission declined, an administrator block, a missing permission, an expired attempt — instead of showing the same Connect button with no message. If the calendar provider stops accepting an existing connection you are notified and prompted to reconnect.

Marketplace

AddedPosting a job or a service suggests categories and skills read from the title and description you have written. Suggestions appear as chips you add or dismiss; nothing is selected for you.
AddedA service listing can be closed from your list of services and restored later. It is closed rather than erased, so proposals already received are kept and it stays reachable under the Closed filter.
FixedThe owner menu on a job or service card works again. Its actions failed silently, and pausing a service published it instead.
ImprovedAn hourly job shows its weekly budget — the rate multiplied by the weekly hours limit — next to the rate, instead of labelling a per-hour figure as the budget.

Profile & reputation

FixedReviews written about you as a client now appear on your profile. Both review lists asked only for reviews of you as a freelancer, so client reviews never appeared.
FixedThe jobs posted and jobs completed counts on a profile report real numbers. Nothing had ever filled them in, so every profile showed zero.
FixedYour profile photo shows in the header and the sidebar. Both places showed only your initial, even though the photo had already loaded.
RemovedThe Invite to Job and Hire buttons on profile pages, neither of which did what its label promised — Hire opened the new-job wizard rather than hiring the person.

Platform

SecurityA file waiting to be attached is checked against the person attaching it before it is published, so an upload belonging to someone else cannot be attached to your profile or portfolio. Job photos, service photos and portfolio images go through the same checks as avatars.
FixedReplaced avatars and covers, and deleted job and service photos, are genuinely removed from storage. The deletion had been aimed at the wrong path and reported success while the original stayed in place.
