This release brings a redesigned digital props experience, significant virtual keyboard improvements across Windows versions, memory and stability fixes for long-running events, and a range of quality-of-life improvements to sharing, printing, and session flow.
Digital Props
- Redesigned the digital props screen with repositioned accept and cancel buttons to better support mirror booth and portrait orientations
- Photo thumbnails now appear at the top of the digital props screen and adjust automatically based on display orientation
- Resolved incorrect cropping that occurred when using digital props with green screen enabled
Virtual Keyboard
- Improved virtual keyboard compatibility across Windows 7, 8, and 10 with dedicated configuration options for each version
- Fixed an issue where the keyboard would not open when using email or SMS sharing on certain Windows 10 systems
- Resolved a layout issue on Windows 7 where the keyboard appeared elongated and misaligned at the bottom of the screen
- Fixed the keyboard appearing on the wrong monitor on dual-display setups
- Fixed an issue where the keyboard position was incorrect on the email entry screen
Sharing & Social
- Fixed an issue where the Facebook login page would hang and not allow users to proceed past the "Continue as…" prompt
- Fixed an issue where Twilio SMS messages failed to send due to an invalid sender number
- Moved SMS (Twilio) settings from per-event settings to global app settings, simplifying configuration across events
- Improved email delivery of GIFs by reducing file size for large animated GIF sessions
- Added a drop shadow behind sharing button labels, making them readable on white backgrounds
- Fixed an issue where turning off sharing screen text labels caused the print button to appear oversized
Printing
- Replaced the print copies dropdown with plus and minus buttons for easier guest interaction
- Extended the printing status message display to 3 seconds so guests have time to read it
Photo & GIF Settings
- Replaced the "Print + GIF" booth mode option with a cleaner "Photo" option, with a separate checkbox to also generate an animated GIF for photo sessions
- Fixed an issue where enabling "Create GIF with Photo" incorrectly caused a booth mode button to appear on the start screen when only one mode was active
Image Quality
- Resolved a loss of image quality when a photo placeholder was set to crop, which caused cropped photos to appear blurry compared to uncropped ones
Green Screen
- Fixed incorrect live view cropping when using green screen with crop live view across multiple backgrounds of different orientations
- Resolved an issue where the green screen background was incorrectly visible during the countdown when "Don't apply during countdown" was enabled
Effects
- Fixed an issue where deselected effects in "Ask Guest to Choose" mode reverted to selected after saving settings
Session Flow & Start Screen
- Fixed a flash where the start screen would briefly appear before the virtual attendant animation when returning from the sharing screen
- Fixed the browse button not appearing when using a single booth mode with virtual attendant enabled
Stability & Performance
- Fixed a crash that occurred when activating the lock screen, which left the app unresponsive and required force-quitting
- Reduced memory usage for long-running events with thousands of sessions by upgrading the JSON library to fix a known memory leak and optimizing internal data loading
- Fixed a crash caused by event names containing only hyphens or special characters, with improved validation to catch invalid event names before they cause problems
- Switched crash reporting from the discontinued HockeyApp to Microsoft App Center for improved crash tracking and diagnostics
