Solidres 4.2.0 is out. It is a big one — not because of a single headline feature, but because it is the release where several things we have been building in the open all summer finally land in the stable channel at the same time: 25 languages, the new date picker, dark mode across the board, a spreadsheet-style Inventory grid — and the foundation the brand-new Solidres Channel Manager runs on.
We rebuilt every translation from the ground up — and added seven brand-new languages. Here’s what changed and why.
Language shouldn’t stand between you and a booking. Whether a guest is reserving a room in São Paulo, Seoul or Istanbul — or you’re managing your property from an admin screen in your own language — every word of Solidres should feel like it was written for that audience. With this release, it is.
We’ve just completed the largest localization effort in Solidres’ history: a complete, ground-up overhaul of the extension’s translations. Solidres is now fully translated into 24 languages in addition to English — every screen, every message, every button, across the booking component and all of its add-ons.
We’ve replaced the ageing jQuery UI date picker with a fast, dependency-free, OTA-style range picker — the same single-tap check-in → check-out flow your guests already know from the major travel-booking sites.
For years, every date field in Solidres — the booking funnel, the search modules, the admin reservation screens — was powered by the jQuery UI date picker. It did the job, but it was showing its age: two separate calendars for check-in and check-out, a heavy pile of JavaScript, no dark mode, and accessibility gaps that never sat well with modern web standards.
So we rebuilt it. Meet the modern date picker — and the unified search bar it now lives in. Available in Solidres v4.2.0.
It’s official: Solidres 4.1.0 has landed. Over the last few weeks we previewed the three tools we’d been rebuilding from the ground up — and they’re all here now. Rate Plan, Front Desk and Dashboard cover the three things you do most: set your prices, run your day, and check how the business is doing.
Each one replaces an ageing, end-of-life foundation with modern, framework-free code that’s faster, dark-mode ready, and accessible to WCAG 2.1 AA. Here’s the short version.
For years, one plugin called Statistics quietly ran two of the most important screens in Solidres: the daily booking calendar your front desk lives in, and the reports you check to see how the business is doing. Those are two very different jobs — so we’ve split them into two purpose-built tools, and rebuilt both from the ground up. Say hello to Front Desk and Dashboard — arriving with the upcoming Solidres 4.1.0 release.
