## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.0.5 — 2026-08-28

Interactive print preview: drag, rotate and flip your stencil across sheets. Auto-fit picks the paper orientation that uses the fewest pages, and the printed PDF matches the preview exactly — blank sheets are skipped.
Your print layout is remembered per stencil.
Temporary network hiccups now show a clear, recoverable message instead of an error.
Stability and diagnostics improvements.

### 1.0.4 — 2026-08-10

Stability and polish:

- Fixed an error when opening a stencil in the fullscreen viewer.
- Mistyped email addresses are now caught at sign-in with a clear message instead of a generic failure.
- Cancelling the AirPrint dialog no longer reports an error.
- Thermal printer disconnects mid-print are handled more gracefully.
- Improved the accuracy of our crash reporting so we can fix issues faster.

### 1.0.3 — 2026-07-26

• Share a stencil by link or QR code — send it to a client, revoke it any time
• Invite friends with a scannable QR code from Settings
• Fullscreen stencil viewer — pinch to zoom, pan, and swipe between your variations

• Every stencil now shows which AI model created it
• Gallery: press and hold to multi-select — batch-delete stencils in one go
• Printing: redesigned Printer tab with a Bluetooth-thermal vs. AirPrint toggle, save your printer, print a calibration page, set paper width, and use the new reference-overlay guide that lays your red stencil lines right over the original photo
• Sharper thermal prints: cleaner lines, smoother roll-paper tiling, adjustable line thickness, mirror mode, and the screen stays awake while printing
• Export: reliable SVG export for clean vector files
• Tell us what you think: new in-app feedback so you can reach us directly
• More for Pro: higher daily generation limits on both Pro plans
• Reliability: sign-in and subscription fixes, plus general bug fixes and polish
