What's New

ARC Ready is being actively developed. New features and improvements are listed below — newest first. We aim to fix any reported issues within 24 hours.

v1.4 July 2026 New
Changed
  • Free open beta — ARC Ready is now free during open beta while the platform is improved with feedback from Australian RTA and RHL holders. The 14-day trial and subscription payments have been switched off: every account has full access, including accounts whose trial had previously ended. No fixed beta end date has been set, and users will be notified before any future pricing is introduced.
  • Homepage refresh — the homepage now clearly separates what's available today from what's in active development (office & field accounts, technician submissions, approval workflow, estimated cylinder balances, guided RMP builder).
For existing subscribers
  • No payments will be taken during the beta. If you had an active subscription, contact support@arcready.com.au and it will be sorted out directly.
v1.3 19 May 2026 New
Added
  • RHL renewal reminders — the dashboard now shows a warning banner when any Refrigerant Handling Licence in your current quarter is approaching expiry (90, 30, 14, 7 days) or has already expired.
  • Direct link to ARC renewals — when an RHL is within 14 days of expiry, the banner now includes a one-tap "Renew on arctick.org" button that opens the ARC renewal page in a new tab.
  • Date leak checked — new field on every cylinder entry, separate from the bottle's stamped pressure-test date. Matches ARC's quarterly leak-check audit requirement.
  • Quarter History search — quickly find any past quarter by year or quarter label.
  • What's new in Settings — this page is now linked from Settings inside the app, so you can check what's changed anytime.
  • Resources page — quick links to ARC's codes of practice, fact sheets, licence renewal, training FAQs, free promotional material, and more. Available from the landing-page nav and from Settings.
Fixed
  • Cylinder pressure-test date and expiry no longer need to fall inside the financial quarter — they're stamped on the bottle and can be any date. Only the new "Date leak checked" must be in the quarter.
  • Quarter Rollover banner now disappears as soon as the previous quarter passes validation, regardless of whether you've downloaded it.
v1.2 24 April 2026
Added
  • Refreshed PDF branding — the official PDF header and watermark now use the updated ARC Ready logo.
  • Bug-report submissions now show a clear confirmation message and aim for a 24-hour fix turnaround.
Fixed
  • Carry-forward now clears the "Date leak checked" on each cylinder so the new quarter requires a fresh quarterly check.
v1.1 20 April 2026
Added
  • Custom business logo on PDFs — upload your logo in Settings and it replaces ARC Ready's branding on every downloaded report.
  • One-tap NIL declarations for sections with nothing to report.
v1.0 10 April 2026
Launched
  • First public release. Quarterly record entry, validation, PDF download, and full history.
  • 14-day free trial with full feature access — no card required to start.
