## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.5.0 — 2026-10-05

- Redesigned Stats — the leaderboard comes first, with rank, record and net at a glance. Highlights are now cards, and the page opens faster.
- Redesigned approvals — every entry shows which buy-in it is and how the player's total changes. Swipe right to approve, left to reject, or approve them all at once.
- Tapping a buy-in notification takes you straight to the approvals tab, and players can see on the game page when their entry is still waiting.
- Fewer settle-up transfers, plus a new banker mode: one person collects and pays out, with optional expenses.
- Amounts show the game's currency symbol.
- Players who left the room or deleted their account no longer appear in stats.
- Faster launch and avatars, the game page refreshes on its own, and success messages no longer interrupt you with a popup.
- Fixed a crash when opening Stats in some rooms.

### 1.4.1 — 2026-09-30

- Choose who can join a new room: invite link or QR code only (the default), room name plus password, or room name only.
- Room owners can now transfer ownership to another member in Settings.
- A refreshed sign-in screen, now also available in Chinese.
- Players who buy in again after cashing out are shown as back at the table, and amounts must be whole numbers.
- Better handling of poor connections, more reliable game ledgers, and other improvements.

### 1.4 — 2026-09-29

Security overhaul — room data is visible to room members only, and every buy-in, cash-out and approval is checked by the server.
Room passwords are no longer stored in plain text; repeated wrong guesses are temporarily locked out.
Your sign-in now lives in the iOS Keychain — safer, and you stay signed in after updating.
Scanning an invite shows the room before you join; only owners and managers can reset invite codes.
Friend requests are limited to people you share a room with.
Stability fixes and polish.

### 1.3 — 2026-07-08

" Seasons — close a season to archive the leaderboard and start fresh; past seasons stay viewable",
      " Temp player binding — merge a temp player's history into their new account once they register",
      " New onboarding — the popup tutorial is gone; a first-game checklist teaches by doing",
      " Easier buy-in corrections — a +/− toggle, no minus key needed",
      " Avatars everywhere — game stats table and member list now show profile photos",
      " Lots of polish — instant toasts for buy-ins/approvals, fully localized approvals tab, safer account deletion",

### 1.2 — 2026-07-01

What's new in version 1.2.0

• Friends system: users can add each other as friends, view a friend's
  poker stats (total games, win/loss, rooms played, last game), and
  accept or decline incoming friend requests.
• Friend requests are sent from a room's member list; incoming requests
  appear on the new "Friends" tab.
• Leaderboard shows the top 7 players with a "Show all" expand toggle.
