  • Planned 0 on the plan for the release it is filed under
  • Built 271 built and working in /lab (the dev builds). Whether the public has it is its reach: "in the lab", "Live" (the last gate) or "switched off"; see docs/REACH-LIVE.md
  • Partly built 1 part of it is built in /lab; the rest waits (see "Waits on")
  • Promised 0 the live site already says it is coming
  • Moved 0 moved here from an earlier release or wishlist
  • Found 0 bug found after a release shipped; fixed in a point release or the next one
  • Candidate 0 recommended in a spike or session log; owner to choose
  • Community please test 0 built and in /use; a Discord post gives the steps and the expected result and asks people to try it on their own devices, files or know-how
  • Decision Time 0 a decision, check, file, key, flag or go only you can give; folds into the list once answered

Built means built and working in the lab. Live means the public can use it, and is the last gate: 270 Built · Live, 1 Built · in the lab.

Every fix and feature

Grouped by track. App chips carry each app’s layer colour; Studio is in ink. "Waits on" names what has to happen first; the small lines under it say who asked and where the item is written up.

SpikeEG.21 Link to EG.21Comment on EG.21 Spike: AR on site — the model at full size through a phone

Place a BimCraft or ModelCraft model at full size on site through a phone camera (WebXR immersive-ar; Safari on iPhone has none, so the spike says what iPhone users get). Owner's review list 2026-10-27 (duplicates removed). Plan docs/0.8-PART5.md. Widened 2026-10-27 (second list): also show what is hidden in a wall or slab — pipes, conduit, rebar — aligned to the model on a tablet.

FeatureRL.1 Link to RL.1Comment on RL.1 /download: "Where we release" with current and planned release streams

A tabbed section on /download (#release-streams): Current release streams (this page, the browser at /use, updates inside Studio, GitHub releases) built from Downloads, so a channel shows only with real files; Upcoming and planned streams (Microsoft Store, winget, the signed Windows package, npm/npx, Apple App Store, Homebrew, Google Play, Flathub), no dates. Source: Catalog::releaseStreams() + RELEASE_STREAMS_PLANNED; component core/components/release-streams.inc. TestFlight is not a release stream (owner). Tests: bin/test-product.php.

FixRL.2 Link to RL.2Comment on RL.2 /download notices brought up to date for 0.8

The Windows notice and the requirements table no longer say automatic updates are off: the Windows installer, .deb and AppImage check for updates (from the release's updates.json). The WebView2 notice says fixes arrive with each Studio version. The Spanish and Indonesian notices became one: every app offers the machine-made draft languages (count read from the CadCraft build), getting-started help only. Mac and Android still say updates are off (not in the feed).

Fixes 104
FixFX.11 Link to FX.11Comment on FX.11 Studio add-on consent dialog no longer says "to draw your picture"

Studio's dialog before an add-on runs a program said it was "to draw your picture" (written for render engines), which is wrong for the Chip design add-on and any other. Sentence now ends "with a script that comes with the add-on." in desktop-shell src-tauri/src/engines.rs, the site copy tools/render/studio-bridge/engines.rs and docs/ADDONS-SPEC.md. Untested: no Studio build was made (not compiled on the VPS).

Education (Track ED) 2
FeatureED.1 Link to ED.1Comment on ED.1 Live TeamWork: follow the teacher (follow the presenter)

Owner 2026-11-03 (educator kit): "allow students to follow the teacher". Built in a Live TeamWork session (assets/js/live-follow.js, shared by every app that uses the live presence layer; CadCraft and MarkupCraft mount it from their own live UI). A person can choose Follow on another person's name and their view moves with the presenter's: 2D camera centre and zoom (a smaller window zooms out to show all of the leader's view), 3D eye, target, field of view and parallel height, and the sheet, storey or space when the app can open it. The host can press "Ask everyone to follow me"; each joiner can still step away. Following stops by itself when the follower pans, zooms or orbits on their own, and a chip names who they were following and offers to rejoin. The view travels in the existing presence message, newest only, and nothing about it is saved in the file. Not tried in a live session with real students; the educator kit copy can now mention it.

FeatureED.2 Link to ED.2Comment on ED.2 Live TeamWork: class view, the teacher looks in on each student's work

Owner 2026-11-03 (educator kit): "allow instructor to look at student progress". Built as the people list in Live TeamWork (same module, assets/js/live-follow.js): everyone in the session with their colour and name, the tool they are running, the sheet they are on, how many edits this window saw from them and when the last one was, and a Follow button on each, so the teacher can go to a student's view. Names from other people reach the page as text only. NOT built from the first plan: students each working in their own drawing inside a class room, a live thumbnail of each student's work, and "Look in" read-only or "Help" with a separate viewer role. Today the class works in one shared drawing and the teacher sees the class at a glance in the list. Not tried in a live session with real students.
