Changelog

Alle Änderungen pro Version, neueste zuerst. Die Release-Notes sind auf Englisch.

v1.0.20 2026-07-19

  • Your work is always saved. An "Autosave: manual (off)" setting existed that stopped saving to the browser entirely — with no way to save by hand and no warning, so closing the tab could lose everything. The setting is gone, and any browser still on it is switched back to saving automatically.
  • Opening a file asks first when it would replace a diagram you've been working on, the same way "New" already did.
  • Tidier menu. Help, documentation, shortcuts, support and About moved into a single "Help" entry, and the menu now scrolls on small screens instead of running off the bottom. The "Welcome tips" entry — which collapsed your panels and then showed nothing — has been removed; the guided tour covers it.
  • Renaming your top-level diagram sticks. The breadcrumb kept reverting to "Root" after a reload.
  • Error messages now speak German when the app is in German. Previously any failure switched to English.
  • Clearer messages for broken links and files. A shared link that has expired or been revoked now says so, instead of looking the same as a typo or a server outage; opening an unsupported file explains the problem instead of showing raw parser output.
  • A friendly "page not found" in the editor for mistyped or truncated links, rather than a blank screen.
  • Guided tour fixes: the tip no longer runs off the edge on small or short windows, and tapping the highlighted control moves to the next step instead of quietly ending the tour.
  • Shared views respond to the keyboard — Escape, Alt+↑ to go up a level, and ? for the shortcut list now work when viewing someone's link.

v1.0.19 2026-07-19

  • Share links without an account now expire after 90 days. Previously they lived forever with no way for anyone — including us — to take them down. Links you create while signed in are unchanged: they stay until you revoke them. The share dialog tells you which kind you're creating, and the privacy policy documents the retention period.
  • A proper "page not found" page on drillflow.de and in the editor, in German and English. Mistyped or truncated links used to land on a blank page; now they explain what happened and offer a way back.
  • Widely-shared diagrams no longer hit a rate limit. Viewing a shared link was capped per network, so a diagram opened by a whole team or office could start refusing readers. Viewing is now effectively unlimited.

v1.0.18 2026-07-18

  • Your own account page: a new page at app.drillflow.de/account (menu → your email) gathering your profile, your plan, and all your shared links in one place — link management used to hide inside a small dialog.
  • Delete your account yourself: the account page's danger zone removes your account and every share link you created, no support mail needed (GDPR right to erasure). Documents stored locally in your browser are untouched. The privacy policy documents the new self-service route.
  • No analytics, for real: removed a leftover analytics script from the old Vercel hosting. It was inert on our servers and never collected anything here — now the app ships no analytics code at all, exactly as the privacy policy and FAQ have always said.

v1.0.17 2026-07-18

  • Snap to objects: while dragging a shape, guide lines show when its edges or center line up with other shapes — release to drop it perfectly aligned. Works with multi-selection; toggle it under Preferences → Canvas.

v1.0.16 2026-07-18

  • Public changelog: this page — release notes now live at drillflow.de/en/changelog, linked from the site footer and the editor's About dialog ("What's new").
  • Keyboard zoom: Ctrl+= / Ctrl+- zoom the canvas, Ctrl+0 returns to 100% — listed in the ? cheat sheet.
  • Exports carry a small credit: a subtle "Made with DrillFlow · drillflow.de" corner mark on exported PNG/SVG/PDF and clipboard copies, matching the export theme.

v1.0.15 2026-07-17

  • Shared views: Make a copy: anyone viewing a shared read-only link can now open it as their own editable document — one click for new visitors; a confirmation guards your existing local work from being replaced.
  • Shared views: Export: the full export menu (PNG, SVG, PDF, Markdown, JSON) is now available in read-only views too.

v1.0.14 2026-07-17

  • Demo videos on the documentation page: a one-minute walkthrough (draw → connect → drill down → resurface) in the Drill-down section, and a short tool-ring clip in the Canvas section — click-to-play, in your language.
  • Rich link previews: sharing drillflow.de links (chat, social, forums) now shows a proper preview card with the DrillFlow brand and a mini diagram, per language.

v1.0.13 2026-07-17

  • Documentation page: drillflow.de now has a full feature reference — German at drillflow.de/de/hilfe, English at drillflow.de/en/docs — covering drill-down & Subflows, tools, layers, pen, images, search, files, exports, sharing and shortcuts, with small illustrated examples. Linked from the landing page navigation and, in the editor, from the menu ("Documentation") and the About dialog.

v1.0.12 2026-07-15

  • Find any node with Ctrl+F: search across ALL diagrams of the document by label — each result shows its diagram path (Root › … ), and picking one jumps there, selects the node and centers it. On touch, the magnifier button next to the menu opens the search.

v1.0.11 2026-07-15

  • Save & Save As like a desktop app: "Save As…" remembers the file, so "Save" / Ctrl+S overwrites it in place (Chromium; other browsers re-download under the same name). Files opened via "Open…" can be saved back directly. A dot on the menu button shows unsaved file changes. Local browser autosave is unchanged — this is for working with .json files.
  • Styles that remember your last choice: changing text size, font, bold/italic, alignment, colors, borders or arrow styles in the Inspector now presets the next element you create — kept separately for text, shapes and edges, and remembered across sessions.
  • Fixed: deleting a shape's label now sticks — previously the old text reappeared after committing an emptied label. Emptying a standalone text element removes it (instead of leaving an invisible ghost).

v1.0.10 2026-07-15

  • About dialog: hamburger menu → "About DrillFlow" shows the running version and build date, plus website and legal links (which moved here from the hamburger list). The version also appears in the Preferences footer.
  • Update notification: an open editor tab now detects new deploys (checked every 15 minutes and whenever you return to the tab) and offers a "Reload" toast — no more hard-refresh to get the latest version.
  • Landing fix: the header links (Features / Pricing / FAQ / Contact) now work from the Imprint and Privacy pages too.

v1.0.9 2026-07-15

  • Fixed: the subflow preview popup (badge on a shape) was cut off at the screen edge on phones. It now stays fully visible at both edges and never grows wider than the screen.

v1.0.8 2026-07-14

  • Preferences redesigned: a two-pane settings dialog with grouped sections (Language & Appearance · Canvas · Tools & Editing · Saving); on narrow screens the sidebar becomes a scrollable tab row.

v1.0.7 2026-07-14

  • Landing navigation: header anchor links to Features / Pricing / FAQ / Contact, collapsing into a hamburger menu on phones; mobile header polish (theme toggle placement, DE/EN switch).

v1.0.6 2026-07-14

  • Resizable text labels with word-wrap: text labels get the same resize handles as shapes, and wrapped text flows onto new lines.
  • WYSIWYG inline editing: the label editor now matches the final label's size, font and position at any zoom level.

v1.0.5 2026-07-13

  • The editor speaks German: the full editor UI is now available in Deutsch and English. The language follows your browser by default and can be switched in the Preferences.

v1.0.4 2026-07-13

  • Support & feedback: a form in the editor's hamburger menu and a contact form on drillflow.de — messages go straight to support@drillflow.de, with your email as reply-to if you leave one.

v1.0.3 2026-07-13

  • Double-click drills down: double-clicking a node that has a subflow now opens the subflow (matching shared read-only views). Plain nodes keep double-click-to-rename.

v1.0.2 2026-07-12

  • Brand polish: real DrillFlow favicon and PWA icons (goodbye stock Vite logo), fixed hero-demo cursor alignment on the landing page, fixed the welcome overlay's controls arrow.

v1.0.1 2026-07-12

  • Legal pages complete: Impressum and Datenschutzerklärung published in German and English.

v1.0.0 2026-07-12

  • First production release on drillflow.de 🎉 — the editor at app.drillflow.de (local-first, installable as a PWA, works offline), read-only share links, optional accounts (email + password) with owned share-link management, and the bilingual landing site. Hosted on a single European VPS with a permanent staging environment.
