v4.14.1Oct 3, 2026

This is the last planned batch of work related to user experience and we start moving the work towards enabling the upcoming sync mode

Whats better

The previous changes to the websocket management made it that poor connections could be considered as stale and closed from the server. We have removed the logic to keep connections as long as possible, even with large inactivity gaps
The share link interface has been reviewed to make it simpler to use and to ensure that we have good communication around the generation and management of the link itself
The CSS override interface has been simplified with the removal of redundant actions and confirmation dialogs for destructive actions
The websocket connection is now more aggressive on reconnecting and provides better results for users that are in network with intermittent drops
Pausing an event over midnight now gives the correct offset on resume

We have also included several changes in the data types to enable the upcoming sync as well as minor bug fixes and UI polish tweaks

v4.14.0Sep 24, 2026

More work on improving user experience in Ontime

Whats new

You can now name the Auxiliary timers. This will help busy show runners attribute time to "Speaker countdown" or "Video timer" rather than "Aux 1" and "Aux 2". Everything else from Auxiliary timers works as usual

Whats better

The reporting tool user interface and user flow have been reworked. You can now get a both easier to read and richer report that you can consult or export as a base for show reports
The websocket connection is now more aggressive on reconnecting and provides better results for users that are in network with intermittent drops
The interface for dragging elements in the rundown list was improved to improve experience. We have also fixed a minor bug where we could accidentally cancel a drag operation on long drags.
Installing the views as a PWA app now respects the device inset area and has better interaction

We have also included several minor bug fixes and style tweaks

Windows macOS (Apple Silicon)

v4.13.0Sep 5, 2026

The timer view now has an opt-in feature where you can hear a sound playing when the timer reaches the end

Whats better

The navigation menu and view configuration menus have been redesigned to make settings easier to find and discover
You should be able to install Ontime as a PWA thanks to @SMPTY work
When following groups, or items in groups in the operator and countdown view. The group headers are kept in view for as long as the group is playing
