News & Announcements
The News page is where Dime Software posts updates about the product directly inside the app - new releases, scheduled maintenance windows, and other platform-wide announcements. It is split into two sections: Announcements at the top and a Releases timeline underneath.
Announcements​
Announcements are short messages broadcast by Dime Software to all tenants. Typical use cases include:
- Heads-up about an upcoming scheduled maintenance window.
- Notice that a new platform feature, region, or integration has gone live.
- Reminders about deprecations or breaking changes that need attention before a cut-off date.
Each card shows the title, the publication date, and a body rendered as Markdown - links, lists, and emphasis all work. When there are no active announcements, the section simply shows a short placeholder line.
Releases​
The Releases section is a vertical timeline of recent Dime.Scheduler product releases. The newest entry is highlighted with a coloured dot; older entries are grouped under a year pill so it's easy to scan back in time.
Every release card shows:
- The release date.
- A checklist of headline features and improvements shipped in that release.
- A Read full post button - when the release links to a long-form blog post - that opens the full release notes in a new tab.
By default the page shows the six most recent releases. Click Show earlier releases at the bottom to expand the timeline back to the start of recorded history.
Errors​
If either section fails to load (for example, when the news service is temporarily unreachable), a red error banner appears in place of that section's content. The other section continues to render normally, so a hiccup in the announcements feed never blocks the release timeline. Refresh the page once connectivity is restored.

The News page only carries content posted by Dime Software. Tenant-specific reminders - expiring API keys, expiring client secrets - are delivered by email instead. See Email Notifications.
