    1.0.9-Beta Pre-release

    PhoenixPhantom released this 2026-03-28 10:09:38 +01:00 | 12 commits to master since this release

    Seventh Beta Release

    The seventh beta release is mostly a simple incremental update for the sixth beta. There are a few bugfixes, multiple minor improvements to the UI, particularly to use more of the available space for some UI elements, and some updates to the internal tools. This release also changes the name of the windows app to Spellbook instead of ch.phantomphoenix.spellbook. The main change however is that clicking on spellbook extensions on Android will now allow the extension to be imported from the Open With menu. This previously already worked in may cases but some messengers such as WhatsApp reported a different filetype, meaning the option did not show up there. Open With should now work for all typical use-cases on Android.

    The android version is now also distributed as a full release version and signed with a release key, in preparation for a release in app stores.

    Warning

    (Windows only) Updating the Windows executable to this version will not actually update the app but install a new one. It is thus reccomended to uninstall the old version manually after a successful installation of 1.0.9-Beta.

    Caution

    (Updating the Android app) Signing the release makes it so that Android thinks this is a different app than the previous versions. You don't care about this if you install the app for the first time. However, to update to this version, you should first backup all your data (either by manually exporting everything one-by one; or by going to Settings > Storage folder and selecting a directory to save your data). You now have to uninstall the previous version (WARNING THIS WILL DELETE ALL DATA THAT HAS NOT BEEN BACKED UP), then install this version. To restore your previous data either import the exported extensions or go to Settings > Storage folder and select the same directory as before.

    The two most egregious bugs that this release fixes are:

    • Changing character classes after having learned spells makes the spell page inaccessible (navigating to it crashed the app)
    • The DM monster/weapons screens sometimes failed to apply changes if the app decided to save the internal state while the user was editing the monster/weapon

      • Multiple small bugfixes

    PhoenixPhantom released this 2026-03-13 19:10:35 +01:00 | 36 commits to master since this release

    Sixth Beta Release

    With the sixth beta release, the colors for most UI elements change slightly and there is now the option of using a more standard material theme. The default character has also been changed and is now a very simple character that makes no changes to a general baseline character, except the required entries (name, alignment, etc.). There have also been many small improvements to UX and a few minor feature additions. The main feature addition is the option to configure items independently of characters using the DM options (under the entities tab).

    Changes

    • General
      • Option for more standard material theme (less accent colors (either black or white background))
      • Tweak colors a bit and use exactly the same colors everywhere.
      • Use separating lines for UI more consistently (e.g. in the character selection)
      • When trying to save an invalid edit, a popup now appears showing which changes were invalid
      • Fix bug where the app 'forgets' its last screen after being opened in the background for long (on Android)

    Fifth Beta Release

    The fith beta release fixes many further bugs, mostly related to visual representation. It also fixes extension importing on all devices which was broken in 1.0.6-Beta. Content reference links for Monsters/NPCs now also navigate to the monster directly instead of just the monsters screen.

    The main feature addition for this release are:

    • The differentiation between turns and 'currently viewed' in encounters. This should make it a lot easier to manage combat, particularly in encounters with many participants.
    • UI for death saving throws

    Changes

    • General
      • UI for death saving throws
      • Many Graphical Fixes
      • Fix importing extensions

    Fourth Beta Release

    This beta release fixes many bugs, particularly regarding Followers/Monsters. However, there also some new features:

    • Tag searching: spells can now be searched using tags (e.g. l:1 for level 1 c:wizard for wizard spells, s:necro for necromancy spells or d:'acid for description containing the word acid)
    • Reference links: other sources can now reference content inside Spellbook through links (e.g. spellbook://Spell/Fireball or spellbook://Character/MyCharacter_name)

    The other main changes are to the way data is stored. User data is now stored in a significantly more robust way, which can help prevent application errors from destroying existing data and allows users to have multiple instances of Spellbook that access the same data open at the same time (previously, the two would constantly override the other's changes). Spellbook now also writes significantly less often to disk (only if changes occured) and stores new data in a GZip compressed format, which greatly reduces disk space needed by the app.

    Also, the project's readme now contains a rundown of how to use the non-obvious features of the app here

    Changes

    • General
      • Add reference links (see how to use them here)
      • Compress stored data
      • Only write data if changes occured
      • Seemingly incorrect data is backuped so that it can be restored if it was actually valid
    • Library Tab (and character spells)
      • Add search tags (see how to use them here)
      • Don't forget search query after viewing spell details
      • Use less aggressive lines between spells to match the rest of the app

    Bugfix for Third Beta

    This beta release fixes some incorrect behavior and common crashes that could occur with 1.0.4-Beta. It also improves the windows package by following location conventions for the installation, meaning the app can be normally used without extra steps. Additionally, the windows icon now scales correctly. Also, starting from this release, the Windows is regularely tested, even if slightly less then Android and Linux.

    Second Beta Release

    Next to the new features listed below, this beta release introduces nix packaging for MacOS and Linux in addition to the existing Android packaging. Linux and Android remain the (only) test platforms, but packaging for even some desktop targets is a big step forward.

    Also, the read.me now contains simple installation instructions for all targets and gives a very brief overview of the project.

    The release includes many quality of life features and a partial UI redesign towards a more consistent and easily readable interface on mobile, desktop and tablets.

    UI changes

    • The use of popups for context information (for followers and abilities) was replaced by cards which can make use of more of the screen-space
    • Editing context information now uses the back stack (going back from editing now first exits editing, then exits the entire screen)
    • Content on the character stats screen now consistently has the same border
    • Characters and followers can now be reordered by drag and drop
    • The color for text with not learned/unprepared spells now has more contrast

      • Lines being wrapped too early and to often, which is now fixed
