Changelog
What’s new in Dock Tempo
Every release of Dock Tempo. Dock Tempo Cloud runs the same code as the self-hosted plugins, so each Dock Tempo Pro release reaches Cloud customers the same day.
Products: Dock Tempo Pro (the dock booking system), Dock Tempo Unloader (the crew app), Dock Tempo Cloud (the hosted service).
The format follows Keep a Changelog; versions follow Semantic Versioning.
Dock Tempo Pro 3.27.0 2026-10-25
Added
- Labour agencies per customer: tick the customers each agency works for. Agencies only receive jobs (daily send and “as soon as it’s made”) for their customers; none ticked means all customers. Labour plan cost estimates use only the agencies that work for that customer.
Changed
- Agency option renamed “Email them each booking as soon as it’s made”.
Dock Tempo Pro 3.26.0 2026-10-25
Added
- Labour agency option “Send them each booking as soon as it’s made”: that agency gets the work order straight away instead of at the daily send. Moved bookings are re-sent to them the same way.
Dock Tempo Pro 3.25.0 2026-10-25
Added
- Bookings take up to 3 files (packing list, invoice, photos), shown and downloadable everywhere: booking details, work order, labour agency emails and job page, exports and prints.
Changed
- The container packing list is required on every booking form, including the dock company’s own New booking.
Dock Tempo Pro 3.24.1 2026-10-25
Changed
- Bookings, reschedules, cancellations and dashboard actions confirm straight away: their emails (confirmations, customer copies, labour agency work orders) are sent in the background a moment later instead of while you wait.
Dock Tempo Pro 3.24.0 · Dock Tempo Unloader 4.0.1 · Dock Tempo Cloud 1.3.3 2026-10-25
Security
- Cloud: a customer login is now tied to one Cloud site, so it can’t open another dock’s customer portal.
- Unloader crew app: photo uploads accept real images only (checked by content), and scripts can never run from the photo folder.
- Live View is private: it opens for signed-in staff, or with its private link (with a key) for the office TV. The link is on Dashboard links.
- Sign-in throttling: after 10 failed sign-ins from one connection, sign-in pauses for 15 minutes.
- Import accepts only Dock Tempo portal roles for logins, and never changes the details of accounts that already exist.
- Cloud: XML-RPC is switched off.
Dock Tempo Pro 3.23.1 2026-10-25
Changed
- The booking form opens on the first day that still has free slots, instead of a day that’s already past the booking cutoff.
Fixed
- On Cloud sites the packing-list upload was limited to about 1 MB; it now allows the server’s full limit.
Dock Tempo Pro 3.23.0 2026-10-25
Added
- Opening hours tab (company dashboard → Operations): open and close times, closed weekdays, booking cutoff, minimum notice and how far ahead people can book, with a preview of the next 7 days and the slot times.
- Closed dates for public holidays and shutdowns (single days or a range): no bookings can be made on them.
Changed
- Settings shows your opening hours and links to the Opening hours tab, replacing the old Start / End fields that the booking forms didn’t use.
Dock Tempo Pro 3.22.0 2026-10-25
Added
- Rescheduled jobs are re-confirmed by the labour agency: when a booking the agency has already confirmed is moved, they get a “Rescheduled – please confirm” email with the old and new time. One click keeps the job; if they can’t do the new time, it goes straight to your other agencies. Until they answer, the booking shows “Rescheduled: re-confirm” and is listed in Needs a human.
Dock Tempo Pro 3.21.0 2026-10-25
Added
- Export & import (company dashboard → Set-up): export your settings, or everything (docks, customers, carriers, bookings, labour agencies and rates, activity, Unloader jobs and logins, optionally the packing-list files) to one file, and import it on another site. Moves a dock to a new server, or from Dock Tempo Cloud to the self-hosted plugins and back.
Security
- Exports never contain passwords, API keys, licence keys or AI / SMS secrets.
Dock Tempo Pro 3.20.0 2026-10-25
Added
- Last-minute bookings by the dock: your team can book any free slot that hasn’t started yet for a customer, even after the customer’s booking cutoff. These are marked Urgent.
- Urgent charge on rate cards: a flat amount and/or a percentage of the booking’s other charges, added automatically to urgent bookings.
Dock Tempo Pro 3.19.2 2026-10-25
Changed
- Yard Management: dock durations in minutes, hours or days (5 minutes up to 30 days); one-click Active / Inactive per dock.
Fixed
- Yard Management table headers were hard to read inside the dashboard.
Dock Tempo Pro 3.19.0 – 3.19.1 2026-10-25
Added
- Container report to the labour agency when a job is finished: the work order plus the Unloader data (check-in, start and finish times, unloading time, breaks, crew, chargeable wait, pre-check / start / finish answers). Switched on per agency.
- The company’s Container Unload Work Order shows the labour agency covering the job. Customers and carriers never see it.
Dock Tempo Pro 3.18.0 – 3.18.1 2026-10-25
Added
- Unload times: set your own unload time and crew for each container size and unload type, next to the real 12-month averages. Estimates use them first.
- Per-agency options: show the unload estimate and ask for the crew size on the agency’s job page, and include the estimate in their emails.
