19 September 2026 — Manifesto 1.0.0

24 August 2026 — Storefront conversion release

• Surfaced Broadsheet's official Ghost Marketplace listing throughout the buying journey.

21 August 2026 — Broadsheet 1.2.0

• The Night edition now carries across the whole site. Articles, archives, author pages, static pages and error pages all follow the reader into the inverted palette; previously only the front page changed, so opening a story after dark broke the edition. The quiet single-column layout remains specific to the front page, and a night page still prints as ink on paper.
• Fixed the reading profile showing the lowest complexity rating on the most demanding articles.
• Fixed a lead story with no feature image being confined to the picture column, leaving much of the front page empty beside it.
• Fixed hairline rules keeping their daytime colour in the Night edition.
• Fixed the article count rendering blank on author pages.
• Fixed page two of the post collection having no top-level heading.
• The masthead and article rules are now a single accent stroke on every page, replacing an inconsistent double rule.
