Changelog

Track all updates and improvements to AutomaDoc.

v2.5.0 — Template filters & attachment loops (2026-02-28)

Attachment loops: iterate over variable-count attachments with {#AttachmentField}{.}{/AttachmentField} syntax
Conditional equality and inequality: use {#if Field == "value"} and {#if Field != "value"} for precise matching
User field support: reference Created By, Modified By, and other user fields in templates
Template validation: auto-detects placeholders and shows warnings for missing or invalid fields
Lookup attachment fields now supported in templates
