v2024.12.3

More fixes:

• On Windows, a borked OneDrive installation would stop BrickStore from starting.
• The Linux AppImage was in permanent offline mode and did not load pictures or price-guides.

Please read the installation instructions.

v2024.12.2

A fix for yesterday's fix: macOS 12 and 13 would crash on Intel CPUs when displaying 3D models.

Please read the installation instructions.

v2024.12.1

A quick-fix release, mostly for Windows users:

• Microsoft broke a basic system library and now the BrickStore installer has to force a system reboot on installation in case that system library is too old.
• The Windows 11 native Light theme still has a few problems with colors, so BrickStore is switching back to using the old Windows 10 style for the time being.
• The Android package erroneously reported a minimum version of Android 6.0 (Marshmallow), but BrickStore really needs at least 9.0 (Pie).

Please read the installation instructions.

v2024.11.1

A lot of small fixes, notably:

• Date based filters were not applied correctly as all 2-digit year values were incorrectly parsed as 19xx.
• Added more currency exchange rates from Float Rates in addition to the existing ECB rates.
• Linux:
  • Added a Flatpak build.
  • Replaced the Ubuntu 22.04 package with a 24.04 one. Using the Ubuntu Snap or the Flatpak is the preferred way to install BrickStore though.
  • Better desktop integration for Wayland/Gnome based setups.
• Android/iOS:
  • Importing orders does not mess up the document order anymore.
  • Fixed glitches with the selection, especially when deleting lots.

Please read the installation instructions.

v2024.5.2

Bugfix release for a few annoying problems with 5.1:

• BrickLink store and order imports work again now.
• Camera activation handling is fixed.
• Android: opening documents from other applications did not work consistently.

Please read the installation instructions.

v2024.5.1

This is a quite big release for the mobile iOS and Android version. There are too many fixes and new features to mention them all, but here are the most important ones:

• Adding items is now at least possible via a Brickognize item scan. (I'm still undecided on how to port the hugely complex add-item dialog to the mobile UI)
• Recent files can now be pinned and cleared (long press the entry) and they should survive app updates.
• You can now open BSX files directly from the system's "Files" application.

Other noteworthy changes:

• Item sorting had to be fixed again. It's also twice as fast now.
• The BrickLink login session is now extended as long as BrickStore is running, which should cut down on the number of "New Login" mails.
• Windows 10 versions older than 1809 are not compatible anymore, because they do not support modern, secure HTTPS connections.
• BrickStore's database is now re-generated and served via Microsoft's GitHub cloud infrastructure. This removes the dependency on the health of my personal servers, while also ensuring a consistent download speed worldwide.

Please read the installation instructions.

v2024.4.1

Important: Price guide updates in all prior 2024.1/.2/.3 versions are broken as of April 4th.

These BrickStore versions do not send the required API key to the BrickLink servers in all cases and BrickLink started blocking these requests on April 4th (without giving me a heads-up, of course).

Other noteworthy fixes:

• Sorting was sometimes a little off, when it came to comparing strings ending in numbers (e.g. Plate 1 x 4 vs. Plate 1 x 3).
• The mobile UI got another huge update, especially the item info dialog.

Please read the installation instructions.

v2024.3.1

Important for macOS users: this release works around two bugs in Apple's build tools:

• The standard macOS version will now work again on macOS 11.
• The crash on Wanted List download does not occur anymore.

Other changes:

• Support for alternate BrickLink item ids was added to the info displays, the item tooltips and the Add Item dialog filter. Also a new column showing these ids is available for the main document views: it's not visible by default, but it can be shown via the column headers' right-click menu.
• BrickStore will now try harder to resolve unknown items when loading old documents:
  • Items changing type from or to Set are not named correctly in BrickLink's change-log. BrickStore is trying to work around that now.
  • If the change-log doesn't yield a result, BrickStore now tries to find an item with the same description.
  • If that still fails and the item id has upper-case characters, a case-insensitive search for the item-id is performed.

Please read the installation instructions.

v2024.2.1

This is an important bug-fix release, if you are using Brickognize.com: older versions of BrickStore can flood their servers with pointless, duplicate requests.

Other noteworthy fixes:

• Camera access in Linux AppImages and Snaps is restored.
• A few long-standing, but infrequent crashes on database updates and shutdown have finally been fixed.
• Importing LDraw or Studio models with unknown item ids would merge lots, regardless of color.

Please read the installation instructions.

v2024.1.4

Fix for Webcams only showing black on some machines.

Please read the installation instructions.
