What changed, and why.

September 5, 2026 · v1.8

Regional freight calculators in six languages

  • Expanded the first-party language selector to English, Dutch, German, French, Japanese, and Simplified Chinese.
  • Published independent, indexable regional calculator URLs with canonical and hreflang links instead of relying on browser translation.
  • Added regional pallet presets, editable truck or trailer planning dimensions, and separate official vehicle and carrier rule references for Europe, Japan, and mainland China.
  • Kept interior loading widths explicitly labelled as editable planning values rather than legal vehicle limits.
September 5, 2026 · v1.7

First browser-language regional calculator

  • Added a first-party Dutch load-meter calculator instead of relying on browser translation.
  • Dutch browser languages now open the Dutch calculator from the homepage or English load-meter tool, while a visible language control preserves user choice.
  • Added Dutch number formatting, metric inputs, EPAL 1 and EPAL 2 presets, an editable 2.40 m planning width, and English/Dutch hreflang links.
  • Added EPAL and EU vehicle-dimension references; operational inputs remain editable because real carrier equipment can differ.
August 16, 2026 · v1.6

Carrier-rated dimensions and complete pallet counts

  • Dimensional-weight comparisons now apply carrier-specific dimension rounding before calculating each row.
  • Added the USPS one-cubic-foot applicability check and the July 2026 divisor and rounding rule.
  • Expanded pallet loading from one-pallet capacity to full shipment planning, including pallets required and the final partial pallet.
  • Added concise tool search descriptions and meaningful route-level sitemap dates.
August 11, 2026 · v1.4

No freight knowledge required to start

  • Added the same plain-language input promise to all 20 calculators and moved calculator inputs closer to the first viewport.
  • Reworked dimensional weight around a closest-match shipping setup, sealed parcel measurements, and scale weight instead of requiring a divisor choice.
  • Reworked pallet loading around a pallet preset and one packed carton, with example transport limits clearly labelled and advanced dimensions optional.
  • Made LCL W/M calculation independent from quote pricing: visitors can enter cargo facts first and add freight charges only if available.
  • Added calculator-visible and input-started events so usability can be measured separately from completed calculations.
August 6, 2026 · v1.3

Reference assets and measurable distribution

  • Added DIM-divisor, pallet-dimension, and LCL quote-audit downloads.
  • Added formula flow diagrams, print actions, copy-result events, embed-source analytics, and maintained-source records.
  • Reviewed FedEx, UPS, DHL, USPS, EPAL, ISO, and Maersk reference links for the three priority tools.
August 5, 2026 · v1.2

Priority tool clusters

  • Expanded dimensional weight, pallet load, and LCL W/M with worked examples, error checks, and four distinct guides each.
  • Published three no-key iframe calculators and the open formula repository.
August 3, 2026 · v1.0

Public launch

  • Released the original freight, packaging, inventory, warehouse, and ecommerce calculator collection.
