Changelog

We’re constantly working to make Presskit.to better.  Follow along with bug fixes and new features here!

[12/7/2012] v1.0.2 public beta

This release includes a few bux fixes and improvements, including:

  • SoundCloud Tracks (iOS & Android) - SoundCloud Tracks weren’t loading in Presskits when opened from iOS & Android homescreens. It was determined that the issue was related to a problem with the SoundCloud API.
  • Sharing - We overhauled the share feature to fix an issue that prevented users from sharing their Presskits with non-Presskit.to users and made the overall process more intuitive.  We’ve also added a few best practices on using the feature. You can find it on the Share page of your Presskit control panel in your dashboard.
  • Misc. Bug Fixes & Improvements

[9/22/2012] v1.0.1 public beta

This release includes bux fixes and improvements, including:

  • SoundCloud Tracks (Firefox) - SoundCloud Tracks were loading intermittently in Firefox.  Reconfigured the Media+ section to address the browser incompatibility while also improving Presskit load times.
  • Media Storage - Transfered media and file storage to a new Amazon S3 account. All previously uploaded assets were successfully transfered, but please let us know if you run into any problems.

[5/4/2012] v0.4.1 private beta

This release includes a new feature, some tweaks & bux fixes, including:

  • Image Thumbnails - We’ve adjusted the way image thumbnails are handled so they display much cleaner on your Presskit.  In order to see the changes you will have to re-upload the images in your Presskit.
  • Misc. Bug Fixes


[5/1/2012] v0.4 private beta

This release includes several new features & bux fixes, including:

  • SoundCloud Tracks - We’ve made it incredibly easy for you to sync audio from an existing SoundCloud account with your Presskit.  If you haven’t heard of SoundCloud, it is an awesome audio platform that allows you to store or share public and private audio files on the web for free. To get started, head over to the Media+ section of your Presskit.to dashboard and click the big orange button!
  • Tweet & Share a Win - We’ve just added the ability to tweet or share a win after you add it to your Presskit.  You’ll find the buttons in the green notification bar that appears after you hit the Create button.
  • Dashboard design - The dashboard is looking sexier thanks to a little TLC from Doug.
  • Misc. Bug Fixes

[4/14/2012] v0.3 private beta

This release includes desktop and mobile updates & bug fixes, including:

  • Image viewer - You can now cycle through all images in a manual slideshow that includes the image title and description.  Right click or tap (mobile) to download the full resolution image. 
  • Hidden Tabs & Sub-tab - Tabs and sub-tabs that contain no information will no longer display on the Presskit. Included are the Members, Wins, and Links sub-tabs in the About tab as well as the Contact and Calendar tabs. This is great for individuals that want to build a personal Presskit or if your project doesn’t need a calendar or contact information.
  • Past Events - Added a button to the Calendar to view previous events. This is a great new feature so you can maintain an archive of significant dates like album releases, notable shows, etc. 
  • View Dashboard - Added a button to your Presskit’s header so you can easily jump back to the dashboard when you’re logged in.
  • Sharing- We made three updates that allow you to share your Presskit more easily. First, we added a share button to the bottom of your Presskit. When you’re logged in easily jump back to the Share page and send your Presskit via email.

    Additionally, we added a Like button to your public Presskit.  Click the button and a link to your Presskit will be posted to your facebook wall along with the default image, tagline, and an optional comment. This allows visitors to easily share your Presskit with their friends and colleagues. We think it’s sweet!

    Last, we added a Tweet button which can be used in a few ways.  The first is the traditional tweet to your followers that includes a default message and the link to your kit. The second and more direct way is to share your Presskit via a mention or direct message. Just begin the message with the “.@twitterhandle” for the mention or the letter “d” followed by the twitter handle of the intended recipient for a direct message.

    For example, if you wanted to send your Presskit to a person you met at a show or conference just ask for their twitter handle and tweet your Presskit to them with a quick message.  iOS devices also have a built in tweet feature that you can easily use. 

  • Privacy Settings - We made two updates to private content.  Any audio tracks that you’ve marked as private will be flagged as such in the control panel for easy reference.  Additionally, on your public Presskit there’s now a box underneath Audio, Images, and Files that alerts visitors that your Presskit contains private content and that they should request access to view it. 
  • Download Notice - Audio files are now flagged as downloadable in the control panel for easy reference.
  • Misc. bug fixes - You can now add links to event and win descriptions in your Calendar tab and Win sub-section respectively.  The +More button now changes to say -Less when you expand the home screen of the mobile browser.
