v.2.1
February 2, 2023
It's been a whirlwind of a month! A lot of time was dedicated to initial bug fixes from the launch, but I'm confident we can see more new features in next iterations. Thank you for using XIV Recruit, and to all the supporters! Happy recruiting!

New Features
Preferred Languages. Setting your preferred languages under your Preferences will automatically apply to your character profile and recruitments. You can also set separate languages on your static profile and search for local matches using the new filter on the LFG or LFM page.
TLDR; A short and simple intro for recruits and static listings, featuring a new Keyword Search to narrow it down to the specific fight you're recruiting for.
New Tags. If you're a static advertising for a beginner-friendly BA farm group for mature players, we got you covered!
Link to FF Logs. No more taking up precious text space with a long FFLogs URL. Save your FFLogs on your Character Profile and it will appear automatically for your recruitment posts as well as your public profile.

Beta v.2
December 15, 2022
New Features
Changelog at a glance. I know you hate popups, but this one will only show once to let you know about major changes.
Notifications through Discord DMs. Enable direct DMs through your User Preferences to instantly get notified about responses to your applications and recruitments.
Dismiss closed notifications. Clean up your notifications page using the Archive button on any finalized recruitment or application.
Manage your existing static members. Setting up your current static members is a breeze with open invitations. You can send an invitation to any character with this option enabled straight to your static without them needing to set up a recruitment post.
Expiration set for recruitment posts. To prevent stale or forgotten listings, recruitment posts that have not been updated within 30 days will be de-listed from the LFG search. You can simply go back to edit the post to have it re-listed.
Auto-removal of recruitments/applications. When setting your static recruitment status to closed be assured that any outstanding recruitment requests and applications will be automatically cancelled/withdrawn.
