## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.4.1 — 2026-10-01

New in 1.4.1:

• Match history: swipe a card sideways to edit or delete a match (delete asks for confirmation).
• History grouped by day, with "Expand all / Collapse all".
• Stats: filter by format.
• Dungeon: "Undo room" and "Leave dungeon".
• Initiative: you can now clear the initiative if you took it by mistake.
• Player across the table: markers, dungeon and tools sheets open in the right orientation and no longer close by accident while scrolling.

Plus scrolling fixes in match history.

### 1.4.0 — 2026-09-24

CHANGELOG:

• Dungeon & Initiative tracker: an interactive graph of all four MTG dungeons, showing each player's current room and the Initiative marker.
• Per-deck Stats: win/loss records and win rate for each deck, with a matchup breakdown to see how you do against other decks.
• Table tools, in-game: coin flip, dice (d4–d20) and a who-goes-first draw — right inside the game from the markers sheet.
• Monarch tracker: mark the Monarch and see the crown on their board panel.
• Day / Night tracker.
• A quick "What's new" tour so you can find everything that was added.
