Changelog ​

Latest updates and features for On Book Pro.

Current App Release ​

On Book Pro is currently version 1.29.4. The app now uses Release Please for semantic app releases and the canonical generated release log lives in the product repository CHANGELOG.md.

Recent releases expanded preserved-write handling, project invitations, script import resilience, profile settings, dashboard feed visibility, Notes reporting, communication audiences, Notes collaboration recovery, mobile usability, scene-order propagation, script-import dedupe, sound-control safety, calendar/security hardening, shared report generation, workspace navigation customization, schedule attendance behavior, project notification isolation, invitation reissue handling, rehearsal script access, and communication-send feedback:

  • 1.29.4 keeps the Functions promise-lint ratchet at a zero-warning baseline.
  • 1.29.3 replaces Prompt Book controls with shared UI primitives.
  • 1.29.2 preserves the project-invite authentication handoff so accepted invitations carry the intended organization/project state through sign-in.
  • 1.29.1 shows send progress in manual Communications composers while email delivery is in flight.
  • 1.29.0 adds a Rehearsal Script view for script-text-enabled projects, giving limited cast-facing users a focused reading surface with assigned-character highlights and speech navigation.

  • 1.24.0 improves mobile phone usability across the app shell, Personnel, notifications, and navigation, and upgrades the Notes editor workflow with attachments, outline/report-map navigation, snapshots, text import, and Markdown export.
  • 1.23.6 flushes sent project invites from the outbound queue after delivery.
  • 1.23.5 rediscovers project scope after stale local storage points at the wrong organization/project route.
