## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 10.0.8 — 2026-08-18

Fixes in this update:

• Magic item bonuses no longer stack up in the item name each time you share or import ("Acheron Blade +1 +1 +1"). Existing items are repaired automatically.
• Compendium exports now include custom features and spells attached to a class, subclass, race, or background.
• Backgrounds export and re-import their starting equipment correctly. Older exports heal themselves on import.
• 2024 characters show their weapons, armor, items, magic items, and spells on the digital sheet again — nothing was lost, it was only being hidden.
• 2024 starting equipment keeps its quantities, and the Unarmed Strike attack row is back.
• Custom class and background creators save rolled starting gold with the right die.
• Mac: exported .prism files are no longer left behind after saving.

### 10.0.7 — 2026-08-06

Requires iOS 15 or later. If you're on iOS 13 or 14, you'll stay on 10.0.6.
NEW: EDITION SETTINGS
"Compendium Visibility" is now Edition Settings — the single place you choose
which edition of content you see. Pick All, 2014, or 2024, and the whole app
follows: compendium, character creation, level-ups, and your sheets. Source
Books is still there in a collapsible section.
2024 content is also recognized properly now. It's identified from the book
itself instead of a fixed list, so newer releases are filtered without waiting
on an app update.
NEW: HIDE CONTENT BY TAG
Hiding by book wasn't fine-grained enough, so you can now hide by tag too.
Hidden tags get their own list with switches, so bringing something back is one
tap — plus dedicated Quick Hide switches for Homebrew and Unearthed Arcana.
NEW: PER-CHARACTER CONTENT
Character creation now opens with a content step: 2014, 2024, All, or a custom
mix. Your choice is saved to that character and follows them into pick-lists,
level-up spell lists, and their sheet — so a 2014 character stays 2014 even if
the rest of your app doesn't. Existing characters are untouched. If you've
already locked the app to one edition, creation skips this step.
NEW: BULK TAGGING
"Tag Showing Items" in the compendium Tools menu adds or removes tags across
every custom item in your current filter. Filter down to what you want, tag it
in one go.
SETTINGS, REBUILT
Settings is reorganized and easier to navigate. "App Settings" is now Gameplay
and Appearance, and the old "Other" catch-all is split into Content & Data and
About. Edition Settings is one tap away instead of buried two levels deep
inside the Compendium Cleaner.
Tavern Board has been removed from the main menu, and Settings has moved up
above Refer a Friend and FAQ.
FASTER
The character list used to hitch before it started scrolling. Portraits and
class icons are now prepared in the background and remembered between visits,
so the list moves the instant you touch it.
The character options menu opens immediately, and upgrading to Pro from inside
the app updates your menus right away.
FIXED
Journal note photos now work. Photos you added — from the camera, your library,
Files, or the + button — were being silently discarded and never saved, and the
thumbnail strip was rendering behind the note's text where you couldn't see or
tap it. Photos now save, appear, and open full-screen. Deleting one removes the
photo you actually picked.
Family Sharing now unlocks Pro Pass. If someone in your family group bought the
Pro Pass, you weren't being granted Pro automatically. Unrelated family
purchases no longer unlock Pro by mistake.
Crashes fixed:
• Opening a sheet for a companion with more than three abilities
• Importing custom monsters or PDF content with unusually large numbers
• Confirming hidden tags, and toggling a tag's visibility
Also fixed:
• Firearm proficiency is no longer switched off when you select "All Simple
  Weapons" or "All Martial Weapons"
• Changing edition mid-creation now replaces species, class, subclass, or
  background choices that aren't valid in the new edition
• Dialogs shown inside a sheet on iPad appeared off-center and clipped; they're
  now centered correctly, with no change on iPhone
• Settings rows going blank while scrolling, and a stray bar with cramped
  buttons

### 10.0.6 — 2026-05-19

- 2024 D&D classes preloaded into the compendium on install
- 2024 D&D species preloaded into the compendium on install
- New preload-batch system that auto-imports future content drops
- Fix for deleted compendium items still appearing in active search results
- refreshment to the name and metadata for the app

### 10.0.5 — 2026-05-15

- Journal notes can now have their own pictures. Open any note, tap the new camera button in the action bar (or the "+" tile in the picture strip above the buttons), and pick from your photo library, take a new photo with the camera, or import from Files. Each note keeps its own photo strip so screenshots, maps, and references live right next to the entry they belong to.
- Tap any attached picture to open a full-screen viewer, where you can also delete the photo if you no longer need it.
- The picker flow matches the one used for standalone journal pictures, so adding photos works the same way everywhere in the journal.
- Published a new import-types reference page that walks through every file format PrismScroll accepts (.prism, .txt, monster images, PDFs), what each channel is used for, and how the import flow handles them — handy if you ever want to know exactly what a given file will turn into when you bring it into the app.

### 10.0.4 — 2026-04-22

Version 10.0.4 brings a big round of polish across characters, library, and the bookstore.

What's new
- Refreshed character list with modern menus, swipe actions, and a livelier empty state
- Redesigned Character Compare with avatars, class-color cards, and ability-score breakdowns
- Revamped Library: search, sort, and cover thumbnails
- Bookstore overhaul with featured picks, edition sections, search, and real book covers
- Drag-and-drop character reordering (no more long-press)
- Faster compendium loading

New Pro add-ons
- Character Compare — stack up to four heroes side by side
- Advanced Filter & Sort — filter by class, race, and level
- Extended Exports — JSON, CSV, and plain text

Fixes
- Adding actions to companions no longer crashes
- Custom compendium "+" menu works from every entry point
- Plenty of menu, dark-mode, and layout polish

Thanks for playing!
