What's new in the agent

Every version of the desktop app and the command line, newest first, with what changed and its downloads.

Desktop app

  1. Version 1.1.0

    • New Slides tab: send the slides shown at the event to the live page, translated, straight from the presentation computer.
    • Reads ProPresenter, OpenLP, FreeShow and Holyrics directly on Mac, Windows and Linux. The Holyrics token is kept in the system keychain.
    • Screen capture on Mac (macOS 12.3 or later): for any other presentation software, the app reads the text on the screen or window you choose and sends each new slide, with a picture when you want one.
    • Pause and resume slides from the Slides tab, the Overview or the tray, and see the last slide sent. Only one computer sends slides for an agent at a time.
    • When an event goes live during a sound check, the audio carries straight on, so listeners and captions no longer miss the first seconds.
    • Extending a sound check no longer reconnects, and moving the agent to another channel closes only the old channel's audio.
    • When the service asks for it, the app reports this computer's network, power and microphone health during a live event.
    • Release notes in the app now opens the desktop app's What's new page.
    • Desktop app for 64-bit Linux on Intel/AMD and ARM, including 64-bit Raspberry Pi OS.
  2. Version 1.0.1

    • Fixed the app closing unexpectedly when Test audio was pressed from the Portal, especially right after changing the agent's channel.
    • The Portal now shows the version of the agent that is actually installed, updated every time the app starts or reconnects.
    • If the app ever closes unexpectedly, it now reopens itself within about 30 seconds and carries on, so an unattended computer does not stay offline.
    • New Keep this computer awake setting: while broadcasting (the default), whenever you are signed in, or never.
    • The next scheduled event on the Overview updates by itself when it changes in the Portal.
    • A clearer, solid white tray icon when the agent is idle.
  3. Version 1.0.0

    • Fixed 0.10.0 sending no audio after an event was started or resumed, or during a sound check.
    • A redesigned Overview: choose the channel and microphone right there, see a clear microphone level, and confirm before moving a live broadcast to another channel.
    • A warning when the microphone chosen in the Portal is not connected to this computer. The agent keeps using the one that works.
    • See your next scheduled event on the Overview, and rename the agent from there.
    • A new tray menu with clearer status and actions.
    • Check for Updates from the tray and from Settings, with a new update window that shows what is available.
    • Your sign-in now renews itself in the background, so you stay signed in without pairing again.
    • Sign-in details are kept in the macOS Keychain.
    • If you lose your sign-in during a live event, the audio keeps going and the app tells you how to sign in again.
