Dashboard module for FreeScout · Changelog

Changelog

Every published version, newest first.

2.0.0 10 Oct 2026

Changed

  • The module icon now ships as an image file instead of sitting inside the description file. That file becomes about a hundred times smaller, and FreeScout reads it every time it walks the module list.

Fixed

  • If your helpdesk runs in a subdirectory rather than at the root of the domain — yourdomain.com/helpdesk — this module's pages are reachable at all for the first time. Before, every call ended on an error page. At the root nothing changes.
  • Outbound connections now honour the timeout and proxy from your configuration. Behind a corporate proxy the module works at all for the first time, and a hanging remote end no longer blocks a worker indefinitely.

1.5.1 10 Oct 2026

There are no notes for this version.

1.4.2 7 Oct 2026

Added

  • The interface is now translated into all 31 FreeScout languages.

Fixed

  • Five texts that were still missing in French and Italian have been added.

1.4.1 22 Sep 2026

Changed

  • Adapted to HR 1.10.0, whose internal name changed. Update both modules together, otherwise teams, absences and holiday balances will be missing.

1.4.0 22 Sep 2026

Added

  • Other modules can register their own tiles on the dashboard, for example Feed.

1.3.4 17 Sep 2026

Fixed

  • The 'Open time entries' tile shows the unbilled amount again. It reported CHF 0 as long as tasks were still open.

1.3.3 13 Sep 2026

Changed

  • The description in FreeScout's module list is now in German.

1.3.2 9 Sep 2026

Added

  • The user guide now ships with the module.

Changed

  • Minimum FreeScout version 1.8.233 declared, so the module can be installed and updated through LaStore.

Fixed

  • One tile failed to load on older PHP versions.

Security

  • Updates now arrive only through LaStore's signed channel. FreeScout's unverified update path is switched off for this module.

1.3.1 5 Sep 2026

Fixed

  • The default for custom tiles works again; a rendering error had stopped the script.

Good to know

Frequent questions

Everything you should know about our modules, licences, updates and support before you buy.

Why does my purchased FreeScout module show an expiry date?

With your purchase you get the module plus twelve months of support, security updates and new features. The expiry date shown refers to those included services — not to your right to use the module at all.

What happens when my licence expires?

The module you have installed keeps working. Once the licence has expired, though, no new security or feature updates arrive and the included support can no longer be used.

You decide for yourself whether to renew the licence or to keep using the installed module without further updates, at your own responsibility.

Others promise lifetime updates. Why don’t you?

Technologies, security requirements and dependencies keep changing. What works reliably today can be outdated or unsupported tomorrow. Good software therefore needs continuous care, testing and development.

Rather than tie you to a permanent subscription, we leave you the choice: renew your licence, or keep using the installed module without further updates, at your own responsibility.

Do I need your LaStore module?

No, but the LaStore module connects your FreeScout instance with the modules you bought, and it brings several advantages:

  • installation with one click
  • automatic detection of available updates
  • easy updating right inside FreeScout
  • verification of the package signature
  • protection against module packages altered or tampered with unnoticed

Our modules do not use the normal update process, because it is not secure. The LaStore module verifies each of our modules before updating. An attacker therefore cannot deliver forged, dangerous updates. Without this module the verification is up to you, and it is a manual process.

Do I really get the complete source code?

Yes. Our modules are provided under the AGPL-3.0 licence. The module as delivered contains the complete source code, which you can inspect and adapt within the terms of that licence.

On how many FreeScout instances may I use the module?

One licence covers one active FreeScout instance. Two free server moves are included on top of that.

If an old server is no longer in use, the system releases its activation automatically after 90 days. An instance that is unreachable or already deleted is therefore not counted against your licence for good.

Can I return a module I bought?

You have a 14-day right of return. It ends as soon as you activate the module — not already when the licence key is delivered to you.

So activate the module only once you have finally decided to use it. For consumers in the EEA, the statutory provisions on the right of withdrawal for digital content apply in addition.

Who issues my invoice?

Payment is handled by Paddle. Paddle acts as Merchant of Record and therefore as the seller. That is why Paddle appears as the issuer of the invoice, and possibly also as the payee on your card or bank statement.

Does a module need other FreeScout modules?

That depends on the product. Some modules work entirely on their own and offer additional features when other modules are present. Others have hard dependencies.

The slot finder, for example, strictly needs the Calendar module, because the available appointments are worked out from the calendars kept there.

Required and optional dependencies are stated on each product page.

What can I do if something doesn’t work?

We test our modules carefully. Even so, a feature may not behave as expected in a particular environment.

Every module comes with a detailed guide. If that does not get you any further, you can open a support ticket. Describe the problem briefly and the steps you have already taken — we are glad to help.

Pay securely, worldwideYour payment is handled securely by Paddle. You can pay from anywhere in the world, comfortably in your own currency — proper invoicing included.
Open, auditable, adaptableThanks to AGPL-3.0 you get the complete source code. You can audit the software, adapt it yourself and keep running it independently.
Two server moves includedYour FreeScout instance is moving? You can transfer your licence to a new server up to twice, free of charge, and keep using the module there.
Install once, stay current by itselfWith our LaStore module for FreeScout you install what you bought with a single click. Available updates are checked and installed automatically.
