Release Timeline

Every update, every change

We ship improvements often. Here's what's landed recently — newest first.

v2.2.2Latest21 May 2026

Pre-Gig Request Visibility

A quality-of-life fix so artists can see fan requests before they go live — no more flying blind into a set.

What's included

  • Fix

    Fixed advance requests being invisible until the artist launched their live session — artists can now view submitted requests from the dashboard for any upcoming gig with advance requests enabled.

  • Fix

    Fixed request tests that were failing due to stale payload expectations.

v2.2.126 April 2026

Smoother Tipping and Faster Browsing

A small but mighty patch — tip-with-request flows are tighter, the homepage loads quicker, and your songbook stays safe when reorganising set lists.

What's included

  • Fix

    Fixed tip-with-request payments so the success screen only appears once both the tip and the song request have been confirmed.

  • Improved

    Improved homepage load times by streamlining how live and upcoming gigs are fetched.

  • Improved

    Preserved your saved songs in the Songbook when deleting a set list — no more accidental data loss.

v2.13 April 2026

How-It-Works Site, Smoother Sign-In, and Venue Background Music

A release focused on getting more artists onboard and giving venues control of the vibe — with a brand-new how-it-works site, slicker sign-in, and tools for venues to manage background music between live sets.

What's included
