Releases

This page records the user-facing changes in Roadmap Flow, newest first. Every guide page also carries the app version it was last updated in.

Version 0.1.8

• Upgrading to Pro works again. Starting a Pro subscription from the Account tab opens Stripe Checkout as intended instead of failing with a validation error; you enter your email on the secure Stripe page.

• Team billing portal opens again. "Manage billing" on a Team subscription opens the Stripe billing portal for your organization instead of failing.

• Feedback reaches the dev team. Notes sent from "Tell the dev team" now land in the developer inbox. If your network blocks the feedback service, the "Open email draft" fallback now opens your email app with the note prefilled.

• Calmer "check for updates" card. When Roadmap Flow cannot reach the update server — usually a corporate firewall — the Account card explains the app is working normally and points you to the Microsoft Store, instead of showing an alarming error.

Version 0.1.7

• Brand kit now uses your colors and logos correctly. The Pro brand kit takes a primary plus two secondary colors — they paint the accent bar and the neutral summary cards in every export, instead of the old hardcoded Roadmap Flow blue and green. You can now upload two logos: a square logo for the cover and a wide wordmark for slide headers, each scaled to fit without being stretched. Status colors stay fixed so the roadmap stays readable.

• Roadmap Flow Check — the browser companion. A free Chrome and Edge extension that captures planning content from the page you are reading — selected text, the visible page, pasted notes, or a CSV — checks how roadmap-ready it is with a local 0–100 score, and exports a .roadmapflow-check.json package or CSV. Nothing it reads leaves your machine. See Roadmap Flow Check and the playbook Capturing planning notes with Roadmap Flow Check. Works on every plan.

• Import checked packages with full control. Share has a dedicated "Import a checked companion package" card for .roadmapflow-check.json files. Imports start with nothing selected; you choose the destination roadmap, workstream, and owner team, tick exactly the candidates you want, and append only those. Each imported item keeps its source link and capture context. A large import (over 25 candidates) asks for confirmation, and companion packages can no longer be mistaken for a Jira or Azure DevOps CSV.

• Azure DevOps backlog capture. Roadmap Flow Check recognises a visible Azure DevOps backlog table, so feature titles, states, work-item types, value areas, and tags come through as reviewable candidates instead of navigation text.

• One consistent app logo everywhere. The Roadmap Flow mark in the app, the Windows taskbar and title bar, and the Microsoft Store tile now all use the same approved brand artwork on a clean transparent background, replacing an earlier incorrect version and the dark box behind the taskbar icon.

• Microsoft Store badge opens the Store listing. The Download button on roadmap-flow.com now opens the Microsoft Store web listing instead of starting an unsigned direct download. The Store is the distribution channel.

Version 0.1.3

• App updates are visible in Account. Account now shows which version you are running, checks the latest published Roadmap Flow version, and opens the Microsoft Store or download page when an update is available. The desktop Help menu uses the same release metadata.

• Tell the dev team from inside Roadmap Flow. Use the canvas Feedback button or the Account tab card to report a bug, request a feature, or contact the dev team. You can leave an email for a reply, attach one screenshot, and choose whether to include basic app diagnostics. If a corporate network blocks the feedback endpoint, the dialog opens a prefilled email fallback so your note still has a way out.

• Plan labels and export titles cleaned up. Free, Pro, and Team labels now use consistent colors across Account and the plan switcher: gray, blue, and purple. Pro users now see a clearer Upgrade hint instead of a confusing View Team label. Change and progress report exports use plain title separators so generated PDF and PowerPoint titles no longer show stray encoding symbols.

• "In Development" status added. A new built-in status — indigo, between Discovery and Done — is now available in every workspace. Existing workspaces receive it automatically on next load without needing to click Restore defaults.

• Timeline Weeks view. The Timeline tab now has a Weeks mode alongside Months and Quarters. Each column shows the week number and the Monday–Sunday date range. The Priority columns (Now / Next / Later) have been removed from Timeline — use the Board view for a horizon grouping instead.

• Workstream multi-select filter. The Workstream filter is now a checkbox dropdown — select one workstream, several, or all. Stream, Board, and Timeline views all respect the selection simultaneously.

• Timeline workstream filter bug fixed. Selecting a workstream filter now hides other workstream rows in Timeline view, matching the behaviour of Stream and Board views.

• Share tab restructured. Export buttons (PowerPoint, PDF, PNG, SVG) are now the first thing in the Share tab. The preset customization section is collapsed by default and opens on demand. Import is collapsed behind an "Import a roadmap" toggle. Workspace backup is a small text link at the bottom rather than a full section. Markdown preview collapses behind a toggle. CSV appears before Markdown. Preset section checkboxes now reflect the currently selected preset's sections instead of a stale all-enabled default.

• Config UX improvements.
  • Workstream Description and Outcome fields now have persistent labels so you can always tell them apart, even after filling them in.
  • Status list has up/down arrows for reordering. The order controls what appears first in status pickers, the filter dropdown, and the canvas legend.
  • "Restore defaults" moved below the status list with a plain-language description of what it does.
  • Brand Kit "Clear all" now requires a confirmation before removing all branding fields.

• Team member management (Team plan). Team owners can generate and share join codes from the new Team tab in the sidebar. Teammates redeem the code in Account → Join a Team. The admin portal now includes an Organizations panel covering member lists, join codes, and admin actions.

• Progress tab redesigned.
  • Static info card removed — the header no longer occupies permanent space with an explanation the user reads once.
  • A context label below the time selector shows the active window and total change count ("This week · 14 changes") so tiles and log are always anchored.
  • Summary tiles now show a visible chevron arrow at rest when clickable — no longer requires hover to discover the drill-down.
  • "Events" tile renamed to "Total changes".
  • Milestones moved above Export — it is the most time-sensitive action (save before a review) and was previously buried at the bottom.
  • "Change history" (Team) renamed to "Team attribution" to distinguish it clearly from the automatic "Change log" section above it.
  • Change log rows now use a left-edge severity stripe (red / amber / blue / gray) instead of a prominent uppercase text badge.
  • Category label in each row is now plain text — it no longer uses a bordered chip that looked interactive.
  • Timestamp in each row shows only relative time ("2h ago"); the absolute time appears on hover via tooltip.
  • Export section moved after Milestones so it does not interrupt the data-reading flow.
  • Pro and Team badge colors normalized to blue (Pro) and purple (Team) across section titles.

• Items tab redesigned.
  • All filters (workstream, status, horizon, and the new type filter) are now in one collapsible panel — the toolbar only has Sort and Group, which are display controls, not filters.
  • The filter badge count reflects only filters inside the panel, so it is never misleadingly incremented by a toolbar control.
  • Priority text badge removed from item cards — the left-edge accent stripe already signals priority; the badge was redundant.
  • Status badge text increased from 8 px to 10 px for legibility.
  • Indicators (Decision, Blocked, Votes, link provider) are now labelled — no longer icon-only chips that require prior knowledge to interpret.
  • External link chip shows the provider name (Jira, Figma, ADO) instead of a generic count.
  • Item count shown inline in the search bar (7/38) — the separate count bar has been removed.
  • "New" button renamed to "Add item" for clarity.
  • Group headers are now sticky and slightly larger so they do not get lost while scrolling a long grouped list.

• Jira / Azure DevOps import playbook. The Field Guide now includes a step-by-step playbook explaining how to configure your Jira or Azure DevOps export before importing — including the exact column names that map automatically and how status values are translated.

• Checkout activates automatically. After paying in Stripe and returning to the app, Pro or Team activates without any manual step. The dialog watches for confirmation and closes on its own.

• Pro checkout simplified. The upgrade flow is now: pick a billing period, then Stripe opens. Stripe collects your email during checkout — the extra in-app step that asked for it first has been removed.

• Applied saved view stays highlighted. A green Active badge persists on the view row after you click Apply. Making any manual canvas change clears the badge so you always know when you have drifted from the saved state.

• Plan comparison includes Team. The Plan & features section in Account now shows Free, Pro, and Team side by side. Pro users see the Team upgrade path directly from the same screen.

• Team features. Change history with CSV and Markdown export, review comments on items, portfolio dashboard, company workspace mode, Jira / Azure DevOps CSV import, and team member management with join codes. All require the Team plan.

• Pro–Team discovery. A dismissible card nudges active Pro users who manage more than one roadmap toward Team. Locked Team feature cards now show concrete benefit points instead of a single-line description.

• Clarity improvements. Locked feature cards no longer show a non-functional ghost button. "Offline" plan status reads plainly. Display name (Pro / Team) appears in Account. Copy simplified across Account, Milestones, Saved views, Change history, Review comments, Portfolio, and Jira import.

Version 0.1.2

• Statuses are now fully customizable. Every status — including the nine built-in ones — can be renamed, deleted, or reordered from the Config tab. Create new ones with a custom color. Deleting a status that is in use prompts you to reassign items first, so nothing ends up in limbo. A Restore defaults button brings back any built-in you deleted.

• Progress reads like a change log. Events are grouped by day with collapsible day headers — the most recent day opens automatically. Markdown export is free; PDF and PowerPoint progress reports are Pro.

• Milestones, change reports, and saved views (Pro). Save a named roadmap snapshot before a review, then compare it to the current roadmap later and export the differences as Markdown, PDF, or PowerPoint. Save and reapply canvas layouts and filter combinations in one click.

• Branded exports (Pro). Set a company name, logo, primary color, footer text, and a confidentiality label in Config. Stakeholder exports pick up the brand automatically.

• Plan visibility throughout the app. A plan indicator in the sidebar nav shows your current plan at a glance. The Account tab now includes a Plan & features section so you can see exactly what each tier includes without leaving the app. Pro section badges appear in Progress and Share so Free users know what a plan upgrade unlocks before they bump into the lock.

• Upgrade flow improved. Clicking Upgrade to Pro now shows a billing-period selector first — Annual (€90/year) or Monthly (€9/month) — before any payment details are collected. A Payment Link fallback handles corporate networks that block the billing proxy.

• Share tab reorganized and Export presets extended. The Share tab is now in five clear sections. Engineering and Internal built-in presets are distinct audiences. Pro users can save custom presets.

• Config tab tightened. Workstream rows now collapse to a single line; expand to edit. Statuses appear as a unified editable list.

Version 0.1.1

• Field Guide. Roadmap Flow has a built-in user manual — this guide — reachable from the Guide tab in the app and published on the website.
• Progress. An automatic change log records what moves on the roadmap, with Session, Today, This week, This month, and All time windows, summary tiles, and a collapsible day-grouped feed.
• Milestones and change reports. Save a roadmap snapshot and compare the roadmap to it later, then export the differences as a change report (Pro).
• Saved views. Save and reapply a layout, detail level, and filter combination in one click (Pro).
• Stakeholder exports. PowerPoint, PDF, one-page executive PDF, PNG package, and Figma-ready SVG frames, plus Markdown and CSV.
• Export presets and brand kit. Built-in presets for common audiences, with custom presets and branded exports on Pro.
