DeepResume Development Recap: Early April 2026 Release Notes

A summary of feature updates across version tags since April 2026: multilingual support, enhanced resume diagnosis, PDF output optimization, mobile responsiveness, payment refactoring, and resume workflow improvements.

#Release Notes#Multilingual#PDF#Mobile#Resume Workflow

This article summarizes the major changes across version tags from early-to-mid April 2026, compiled to help team members and users follow the development trajectory.


v2026.04.02 — PDF Printing Strategy & Internationalization Foundation

PDF Output Strategy Refactoring (print pdf strategy)

We introduced a dual-engine architecture, running the existing Playwright-based browser PDF rendering alongside a new WeasyPrint server-side renderer:

  • pdfprinter (Playwright): Handles scenarios requiring full CSS rendering, triggered via resume_id + access_token
  • pdf_weasy_printer (WeasyPrint): Generates PDFs directly from structured JSON without a browser process—faster and lower resource usage

This version also enabled a CI flow with auto-deploy triggered by tag name, so pushing a tag automatically triggers a production release.

Backend Internationalization Architecture (PR #33)

Merged a unified backend i18n strategy:

  • Extracted hardcoded Chinese strings scattered across modules into an app/i18n/ package with 5 JSON locale files (zh-cn, zh-tw, en, ja, ko)
  • app/i18n/loader.py provides unified interfaces: get_i18n(), get_labels(), normalize_locale()
  • PDF and DOCX template builders now retrieve labels through this unified interface, enabling multilingual resume export

v2026.04.02 (3rd Tag) — PDF Templates & Job Intent Field

  • Improved Jinja2 templates (resume.css.j2 / resume.html.j2) for PDF output, adding support for Markdown rich text rendering in PDFs
  • Added a job intent input field to the workspace for users to specify target role direction, used as context for subsequent JD matching

v2026.04.03 — Full Frontend i18n Coverage

Complete Multilingual Frontend Refactor (PR #34, #35)

  • Replaced all hardcoded Chinese strings across the frontend with t() calls, covering workspace, payment, resume forms, and resume view components
  • Split i18n message files from a single file into 8 business domain namespaces (common, home, auth, workspace, form, resume, error, price), organized by language directory
  • Added useLocalePath() hook so all internal links automatically adapt to the current language prefix (/en/, /ja/, etc.)

Mobile Header Responsive Design (PR #36)

  • Added a hamburger menu to the Header; when expanded on mobile, it shows Workspace, Pricing, Login/Register, language switcher, and share button
  • Changed the Footer to flex-wrap to prevent overflow on small screens

v2026.04.05 — Mobile Header Fine-Tuning

  • Split desktop and mobile auth areas into independent rendering branches, fully resolving layout issues on smartphones
  • Changed the language switcher (LanguageSwitcher) and share button (ShareButton) to full-width text row style on mobile

v2026.04.06 — Enhanced Resume Diagnosis & Payment Timeout Fix

Content Completeness Diagnosis

  • Added a content completeness dimension to resume diagnosis: automatically detects missing key sections (project experience, skills, self-evaluation)
  • Generates a content completeness score with specific improvement suggestions

Payment Model Timeout Fix

  • Fixed a frontend timeout error that occurred when model response times were long
  • Added 301 HTTPS redirect enforcement at the nginx layer

PDF i18n

  • PDF exports now automatically switch resume section headings based on the user's selected language (e.g., "Work Experience" vs. "職務経歴" vs. "职业经历")

v2026.04.07 — Full Prompt Rewrite for Diagnosis and Rewriting

  • Parsing prompt optimization: Fully preserves the original experience entries during diagnosis, preventing the LLM from losing context mid-analysis
  • Complete rewrite of rewriting prompts: Rewrote improvement prompts from scratch, strengthening three directions: quantified achievements, keyword alignment, and ATS compatibility

v2026.04.10 — Job Confirmation Step (PR #44)

Added a job intent confirmation step to the workspace flow:

  • Before pasting a JD, users confirm their current target role title and domain
  • Based on the existing resume and entered role, the system presents a preliminary role-match assessment
  • Prevents rewrite direction misalignment caused by "pasting a JD without a clear resume target"

Also merged PR #43 (mobile header display fixes) and PR #42 (added gender: male/female/unknown field to resume basic information).


v2026.04.11 — Targeted Invitations

  • Added a targeted invitation code generation feature in the admin panel, enabling manual grant of beta access to specific users

v2026.04.12 — i18n Patches & Workflow Bug Fixes

  • Filled in several missing i18n translation keys (some fields displayed untranslated on frontend pages)
  • Fixed an exception thrown by the confirm job step in certain scenarios
  • Fixed user answers being lost (user answer lost) during the Q&A flow
  • Adjusted skill proficiency fields to support level-based display (Beginner/Intermediate/Advanced/Expert)
  • Optimized the resume skills section to provide more accurate keyword coverage hints

v2026.04.13 — Resume Confirmation Order Swap

  • Swapped the order of "resume content confirmation" and "JD input" in the workflow: users now review parsed results first, then input the JD. This prevents JD matching errors caused by resume parsing inaccuracies.

v2026.04.15 — Self-Evaluation Field

  • Added a self-evaluation field to the resume structure, displayed as a standalone section during diagnosis and export
  • Added company name selector (format company name select) and start/end month (period to start/end month) fields to project experience, standardizing field formatting

Summary

April's iteration focused on three directions:

  1. Full multilingual rollout: Unified i18n system across frontend and backend, supporting Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, English, Japanese, and Korean
  2. Resume workflow refinement: The flow from job intent confirmation → resume review → JD input → rewriting is now clearer and more mistake-resistant
  3. Diagnosis and rewrite quality improvements: Prompts rewritten from scratch, content completeness diagnosis implemented, skills and self-evaluation structure established
