Hostex Version 4.18.0 Release

1. Guest Experience Enhancements

• Check-Out Confirmation Pop-up: Guests now see a confirmation dialog when clicking "Check-Out" in the check-in guide, reducing accidental actions.

• Clickable Links in Notes: Hyperlinks within notes (e.g., property rules, messages) are now clickable and directly open in new tabs.

2. Functionality Improvements

• Shortcode Date Formatting: ✔️ Check-in/checkout dates in messaging templates (e.g., automated emails, chat) now display the full year (e.g., "15 Oct 2024") for clarity.

• Bulk Pricing & Rule Updates: ✔️ Property/room names are fully displayed during bulk edits to prevent misselection.

• Channel Order Room Change Alerts: Hosts receive notifications when a channel-managed booking (e.g., Airbnb) requests a room/unit change.

3. UI/UX Refinements

• Property/Room Sorting: Lists now show complete names of properties, rooms, or unit types during sorting to avoid ambiguity.

• Booking Website Fee Breakdown: Redesigned the "Fee Details" section for reservations to improve transparency and readability.

• Airbnb Connection Guidance: Updated in-app prompts and error messages for smoother Airbnb integration setup.

4. Payment & Subscription Updates

• Subscription Activation Reminder: A pop-up now shows the effective date of a subscription plan before payment confirmation.

• Subscription Icon Refresh: Replaced the subscription status icon for better visual consistency.
